CIA Director David Petraeus Resigns, Cites Affair

It never ceases to amaze me how men--rich or poor--presidents to priests--easily fall due to uncontrolled sexual desires.  Petraeus threw away a great military career and a promising government job down the toliet with playing footies.  They just never learn.

I don't think this coming out before the election would have cost Obama votes however, but it is embarrassing.

I chuckled about the thousands of emails too, Purp

I just find it incredibly ironic, americans and their prudish institutionalized attitudes towards sex. Dude is the HEAD OF THE CIA, which means he gets people KILLED on a regular basis, makes plans to drop drones on their houses and all sorts of shady, nasty stuff the CIA is involved in and yet the worse thing they could think of him doing is having a side piece??? Unless she was a spy or a subordinate / military, that is between him and his wife. What's that got to do with his ability to do his job (which is probably in great part to plot to maim, kil, destabilize other countries, supply arms to rebels and topple governements?) This is a family issue, between him and his wife, what's that got to do with anything else?

People are hypocrites.  Clinton shouldn't have been f*cking an intern in the Oval Office though.

Dude is a head of state, couldnt you try and get him on things that actually mattered? SMH

These men fall for puzzy everytime.  Wiling to lose his entire career, embarass his family.  He will stil get his BIG PENSION and eventually he will wind up being a high paid contractor for some military company.  He'll be alright...
