general patreus resigns

[techs]

OMG he had an affair while married?
Correct me if I am wrong but don't almost 50 percent of men do that?

Grow up America. Its between him and his wife.

'Adultery in the military is actually prosecuted under Article 134, which is also known as the "General Article." Article 134 simply prohibits conduct which is of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, or conduct which is prejudicial to good order and discipline.'

He should have known better.

It is now.

 

[Nebor]

Great, can we rescind the god-awful COIN manual he forced on us now?

Golden boy, no more.

 

[Nemesis 1]

I had been reading he was unhappy because he didn't like the job and that he was probably going to resign if Obama was reelected.
I wonder if that was a cover for what was going on.

You and every repulsive in DC

 

[pauldun170]

thanks@!

he is a idiot for cheating on his wife.

No,
He is an idiot for getting caught.

He did know better, better than probably few others in the world. This is why there can be no other explanation than an unconscious need for self destruction. It is only the communal pact to deny this otherwise ineluctable logical fact that keeps this from being patently obvious. If a man of tremendous personal accomplishment and personal honor with such universal acclaim from all sides could hate himself, where does that leave a schmuck like me? Trust me the terrors you repress in your unconscious are far far greater and more of our personal concern that admitting to knowledge that could have if widely known, saved this great man. And this is exactly the same threat that can bring about human extinction. We even have it visibly expressed in science fiction films like Forbidden Planet. The truth is right there in front of our noses, invisible, but staring us in the face.

You sir are going to get a lesson in self destruction

I don't understand why he should resign over an affair. I imagine Obama wanted him gone and accepted a resignation Patreus offered out of courtesy.

You don't understand?? The head of the CIA?? You have that much Obama hate it disengages that part of your brain???

Remember all the hoopla over the Secret Service and the hookers.

How about compromising national security.

UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[Wreckem]

The reason its an issue is, in positions like his and most in the CIA/NSA, character flaws/questions of morality & integrity can get you terminated. Doesn't look good to have someone leading the CIA who has issues.

 

[monovillage]

It's a damn shame, he's not the first person to make this type of failure and pay a high price for it along with his wife and family. Best of luck to the guy and hoping everything works out.

Ah yes a paper owned by a marrying cult.

Yeah Obama used that Kenyan-muslim mind trick on Patreus to get him banging chicks on the side.

That's some scary shit reading through some of that.

Ya i like how they say he won't be testifing . NOT likely they will make him testify

I wonder when we will stop eating our own like this. Another fine public servant gone because of a purely personal matter.

In the military, adultery is a crime so it's not a purely personal matter until that changes.

 

[Moonbeam]

Did that long ago. I no longer think I am the wrath of God. Unlike you, I don't need to feel important to hide from myself my own pain. It makes me sad though, that you incoherently condemn the human race to damnation as if you actually knew something. But like the General, you have a need to make an ass of yourself. There is only love.

He's no longer in the military.

Adultery is also looked down upon in the CIA, though, as they are always worried about their members being "compromised" by those they cheat with.

It really is a shame though. The CIA and military intelligence have a long history of not getting along, and he apparently navigated that better than anyone else in a long time.

Oh shit, my eyes have been molested by 90s internets.

When is the freerepublic webserver going to upgrade from windows 95??

They beg for money from the suckers who read that stuff all year long.

 

[SAWYER]

He was supposed to testify next week about Bengazi, convinent

Yea, you're right; I wasn't paying enough attention. Assumed he would have had a different title in his current position if he wasn't in.

Gods wrath comes from God . I simply witness to mans evil. say a thing and wait for his judgement . I have no hand in it . I simply witness . God clearly wanted obama in office . My greatest fear realized .He is the one

 

[finglobes]

This is easy...

Obama regime tried blaming Benghazi violence on YouTube videos and intel people.

Everyone knew that was a lie since multiple sources in the know called BS - including Libyan prez.

After Pancetta blames intel people for refusing aid to consulate the CIA issues an official statement (meaning ok with Petraeus ) saying don't blame us we had nothing to do with it.

Then official emails start leaking just before election and showing Stevens was caking his pants for weeks over terrorists and that Slim Shady's regime did bupkis.

Then voilà - two days after slim wins re-election due to poor GOP turnout Petraeus is suddenly resigning over an affair (no doubt the regime had done its homework on a guy it feared running against at one time).
