    Hillary is stepping down from Secty of State, although that was always in the works, I think she is planning for 2016. The neoconservative dream team went down with Romney, most of them. I am hoping that has repercussions.

    He's the Ollie North of Benghazi. Democrats don't care about extra-marital affairs.

    Not for a second, it just doesn't make any damn sense on any level. Unless the affair was with a married, crippled, under-age boy who's a double-agent for Iran.

    And...the timing. Strange things afoot.

    Why?, Clinton didn't resign... I can really care less what one does in their own personal sex time, unless they lied and cost the taxpayers $10s-$100s of millions in BS investigation costs.

    So the CIA threw Obama under the bus on Benghazi denials/lies, so then, Big O's regime found used some dirt on their company leader to retaliate? Quite the paradox of hypocrisy for the company that; Lies, Launders money, Drug Runs, Gun Runs, Overthrow unions, politicians, governments, BTK(bondage, torture, and kill)... last but not least: Assassinations around the planet. Yet the company chief has to resign from the bastion of the ultra immorality regime over a personal sexual affair? lol!

    We witnessed 4 star general Dugan's downfall for personal comment during the gulf war... which turned out to be, revealing operations.

    Once again, the people being played like a grand piano by the spin doctors of the political elite, fascio-corp press, and whatever else covers the mess.

    .Gov and their lies, it appears to be quite contagious and grow exponentally when lies are to cover lies.

    the high weirdness of his hankypanky hitting the metaphoric fan with a greater impact than the proverbial feathers
    seyz this has its tie in to the slip~ups the neo-con right wants to impeach potus on. i was wondering what fallout
    from all the netgossip on potus's gay~ness would be part of events on the march, but if poor ambassador stevens
    had a closet existense and powerful friends in d.c and this all was not a none such agency codebreaker slip~up then
    the auld allycatting gen'l is being blamed indirectly for five dead americans as this swirls around the XE remnants of
    blackwater. drudge has an ear to the ground, and mrc.chat was admonishing people not to use the nickname "ears"
    for potus. we just saw the very young electing a soap opera as the pro~business people are pink slipping employess
    and Rush the blowhard has five pages of companies who are pink slipping the people they said they would if BHO wins.

    technically DIA or NSA takes the fall, not CIA or a 'teflon' XE?

    I doubt this story is what it appears to be. My suspicion is that he knows something is going to happen in the future that he doesn't want to be a part of so we get this concocted story and he is out of the way.

    Not really a stretch at all... Why would a guy who's not even that big of a public figure abandon running the most covert organization in the world over an affair?

    I just read on another forum that Petraeus will not be testifying before Congress about Benghazi. I don't understand why his resignation would lead to him not testifying. Can't Congress subpeona him even if he is a private citizen?

    My initial thought was..."Benghazi." Not saying he probably wasn't having an affair but this could have been covered up. It's not like there was any evidence leaked to the media...he just told on himself. I'm sure this is in the CIA playbook to the letter.

    Yeah, killing people and doiling illegal $#@! all over the world.... but $#@!ed some girl not his wife = need to resign.

    Some of this $#@! is so easy to sniff out, I don;t even know how they start with such stupid lies.

    All angles covered:

    He wanted to jump ship because something is coming, folks knew about the affair and were using it for a bargaining chip so he wouldn't jump ship.

    He admits the affair and jumps ship.

    Makes the most sense of any theory so far. Wonder if "suicide" is in his near future...

    CIA Director Petraus was supposed to testify on Benghazi and according to Senate Intelligence Committee, he will no longer testify. How does that work? Why would having an affair, then stepping down prevent you from testifying? I think that is why they have something called subpeona power.
