Head of the CIA, Gen. Petraeus steps down amid an admitted affair he had.
["Obama initially tried to convince Petraeus not to resign, according to some souces. “I am told that President Obama tried to talk Petraeus out of resigning, but Petraeus took the samurai route and insisted that he had done a dishonorable thing and now had to try to balance it by doing the honorable thing and stepping down as CIA director,” Tom Ricks reports in his blog “The Best Defense.”
Such a move is in keeping with the military culture in which Petraeus rose to the rank of four-star general."]
Even our very own Sen Feinstein piped in...
["Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) of California, the Intelligence Committee chair, told NBC News that Petraeus’s personal mistake should not have led to his resignation.
“I would have stood up for him,” she said. “I wanted him to continue. He was good, he loved the work, and he had a command of intelligence issues second to none.”]
It seems that lying and cheating on a spouse holds little value to them... Why would it, they embrace the Left with all of it's deviances.
They are the Far Left...

Something stinks about this whole "affair". Why wait until right AFTER the election, and just BEFORE he was scheduled to testify in the Libyan MURDER case against Obama's administration? Odd that the very person who is supposed to posses the most valid information about who knew what and when is now out of the picture? Let's see how "honorable" Petraeus is and whether he willingly appears before Congress to testify or whether he will have to be subpoenaed.
Has that dear little Valerie Jarrett put her hands into this mess as well? As much as she "guides" El Presidente, one has to assume she does sooooo much more for her idol.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we heard in the next few days that General Petraeus literally "Fell on the Sword"
It just wouldn't surprise me...

NOTHING surprises me anymore. This crappy "administration" is so filled with dark Chicago thugs that anyone not following in lock-step with Obammie and Valerie Jarrett are subject to "elimination" (by whatever means they can drum up).
Yep, Mink and her fellow lemmings have given that thug another 4 years to do as much damage as possible. Thanks Libs. We really owe you. (and don't worry, you will get paid, one way or another....LOL)

This is much bigger, Dances... The order was given 3 times for CIA agents to "Stand Down."
That would mean that Gen Patraeus left Tyrone Woods up on that rooftop to fend for himself.
A commanding officer turning his back on another soldier in need, loses all respect for the men that serve under him.
This is much more serious that playing "Save the Commander-in-Chief's ass."
