Benghazi - First Casualty?

[Jrlobo]

DirCIA resigned today. One down, several more to go.

[RTFM]

Resigned because he gout caught with his Pee Pee where it should not have been.

Caught in an extramarital affair - so he quit.
You know people you thought were squared away.... also turn out to be fudgetards.

By Dave... don't say another word - your a FAIL also.

[Jrlobo]

Yes, but think of the timing. Just before the critical Congressional hearings where he would have to testify, he steps down. Could it be that he was forced to do so because he was caught dipping his wick and it became known to those looking for a fall-guy. Can't think of the last time a person in that high of a position was caught and he resigned for that reason. Normally they are allowed to bow out at a convenient time for reasons of health, family or whatever. If he was caught by CIA security, like in the office with a secretary, this would have been handled much more quietly. I smell coercion in this one.

Petraeus' resignation letter, quoted by several news outlets, centered on his personal behavior.

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours," he said. "This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation."

Patreaus isn't the only one heading for the door.

Obama’s Cabinet: Goodbye Clinton, Geithner, Carney as new names top lists

[Timothy]

Patreaus out on a technicality, Clinton out of the country and cannot return to testify, a few other come to mind....curious?

Damn skippy...and if the General loses his clearance, can he even be called to a classified hearing?  Curiouser and curiouser...

Me smells a cover up!  Too bad there isn't a journalist anywhere in the nation willing to take on this administration.  Good thing I no longer give a flying phuque.  My country is gone!

Since when did the Democrats ever care about extramarital affairs?

Curious ain't it?

[Jrlobo]

The word is out: this is an inside job. Inside the CIA where he was not loved and inside the Obama WH where he could not be trusted to continue the coverup.  The infighting inside the intelligence community has always been fierce. The CIA hates the FBI and State Department. The NSA hates the CIA and DIA. DIA hates the CIA regarding HUMINT. And everybody hates the HS and Justice Departments. Add the DoD/JSOC, DNI and Geospatial components and you have a molotov cocktail ready to be lit and thrown. This is all by design, of course, because no one wants a strong intelligence community (unless it all belongs to one of them!). The question is: Is there another head in the intelligence community that will have to be lopped to continue the coverup? Say the DNI? RNI? CIA/Ops?

Surely you remember the incredible uproar over Bill Clinton's affair with Lewinsky, and Jennifer Flowers, and Paula Whatshername.

Oh wait...

Crickets...

Yeah, those Dems are certainly consistent when it comes to morality, huh?

[tombogan03884]

The communists don't have to be consistent.
Most of the electorate are to stupid to remember anything past the last episode of "Dancing with the stars".
