1. What a sordid mess
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.12.12)
Is Petraeus still going to be called upon to testify before Congress on the Benghazi disaster?
2. Petraus Affair
George Luedke ,   Lynchburg USA   (11.12.12)
You say "Petraeus decided to quit, though he was breaking no laws by having an affair, officials said. " I served as a Captain with the US Air Force during the Viet Nam War. Adultery is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the adulterer can be courtmartialed.
3. make up your minds
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (11.12.12)
First we heard that Broadwell and Petraeus had broken up before he got to the CIA, and it was his desperate letters to her that caused the FBI to illegally read his emails without a subpoena. Now we hear that Petraeus had an affair with two women while suffering from prostate cancer, and the FBI investigated when one threatened the other. But since when does the FBI investigate some vague internet threat between two civilians? And how was it that Obama was so lucky that he knew nothing about this until after the elections? Why didn't the FBI warn him of the potential security breach? And lastly, despite Petraeus personal problems, why doesn't Obama force him to testify about Benghazi? I am sure Petraeus' testimony will clear Obama and Clinton of any wrong doing.

He is retired therefore UCMJ does not apply.
5. Lucky Petraeus!!!
Robert Barnett ,   London UK   (11.12.12)
How did you manage to have 2 mistresses? You lucky dude!! I can't have even one my wife is almost having me on a leash and getting her nose in all my emails even checking me on what I am reading on the net.The world is unfair.
6. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.12.12)
Then why wasn't Dwight David Eisenhower courtmartialed for his affair with Kay Summersby? Hmm?
7. What is an "unpaid social liaison?"

8. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.12.12)
Actually, he's in the reserves. The UCMJ does apply.
9. If you believe this fable, I have a Spanish....
Avouskila ,   South America   (11.12.12)
Well, you know Don Quichote with the flying Saucers (sorry windmill in his mind). I also believe that the sons of Sadam and those of Gaddafi were a great 'human decent and moral beings'. That said, POWER corrupts, extreme power corrupt extremely...no mater who just ask Ike Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, Moshe Dayan and his co-hort of Generals (Weissman and company). You got the geist... I don't believe, but in this case besides the indiscretions there is Bengazi murders, the saga of Irak.....many other states farces. Obama has a great Othello marker on his forehead.
10. Where is the Jewish woman in this? Will we wait very long?

11. # 6 Sarah...
#6 Sarah, ,   Orangevale, U.S.A.   (11.12.12)
Executive privilege ? Yuk, Yuk Hyuk.! Sorry, it was too easy. Have a good day. Shalom Israel, Rob
12. #5 he was unlucky
(11.12.12)
He was with Jill Kelley of Lebanese extract If he had been with Jill Kelly from California, then he would have been lucky.
13. What did Broadwell think! that he wasn't gonta cheat on her?
(11.12.12)
I am always amused when a mistress gets all possessive and huffy. I mean really if he cheats on his wife why wouldn't he cheat on his mistress?!
14. Ban Marriage
Zivron   (11.12.12)
Marriage ought be banned as men and women cannot resist affairs in free democratic lands so that the Ten Commandments are not infringed .Loose Legal social contracts ought be instituted . The atheist psychodynamic theorists predict affairs so marriage ought be irrelevant or regarded as null and void .
15. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.13.12)
Sorry, I didn't realize you were that poorly informed. Eisenhower's dalliance with Kay Summersby occurred while he was serving as an active duty general officer during World War II. Sorry, that was way too easy. Have a REALLY nice day.
