Tag: affair  Petraeus Quits: Cites Unauthorized Surge into
Unknown Woman   I’ve seen some murmurings that there may have
been something else to this. Me personally, I don’t see a lead
here. He failed to follow the First Law of Having an Affair:
Shut. Up. This just appears to be something a guy like Petraeus
would do when he’s done something that he knows is dishonorable
and is going to hurt his boss.  Sure, the timing is strange
coming after the election and before the Benghazi investigation
FINALLY gets some lift. But I mean, if he’s was going to resign,
why in the world would he do it in a way that publicly shames
himself and his family in such a way? He was a GOP favorite for
2016, not so much now. He could have taken the heat for Benghazi
and STILL been a contender.  Fire off with your best conspiracy
theories, but this just looks like an episode of one man’s bad
judgement to me. Damn pity. I have long admired his service.
