Shouldn't Paula Broadwell be charged under the Espionage Act like former NSA employee Thomas Drake was? She seems to like to play fast and loose with sensitive information.
Makes me curious how a mentally unstable person like Mrs. Broadwell is given a security clearance in the first place. She had to know that the nasty e-mails she was sending to Jill Kelley could be traced back yet she sent them anyway. Very poor judgment on this lady's behalf which has cost her mentor and idol his legacy. Sad!
"What I had been concerned about, despite my admiration for Petraeus, is that he wasn't the right person to head the CIA when among its major tasks was to evaluate the counter-insurgency effort in Afghanistan. Since Petraeus authored that strategy and oversaw a stage of that war as commander, it actually was not fair to have him head the evaluative effort, and he shouldn't have been put in that position..."

Kind of like allowing your roofer to evaluate his own job. Has anyone high up questioned that??

The worst part about this whole Petraeus scandal is that now his entire career will be second-guessed. Paula Broadwell really did a number on him as her error in judgment by e-mailing Jill Kelley has cost her mentor and hero everything he's worked his entire life for. Mr. Petraeus' personal life, military career and CIA directorship are now tainted in a manor not dissimilar to a protagonist in a Greek tragedy. Hopefully those in the military and intelligence agencies are paying very careful attention and reminding themselves of the awesome responsibility they've accepted by swearing an oath to protect and defend the United States of America.

Good point but the president will not answer any question and will avoid any answer by;
I will address this to the family directly
I will make sure everything will be answered...
And that will be the last we ever hear about it since the mainstream media will not do anything against it...
Benghazi will go under and buried and it is a disgrace!
Hero's will be left behind and on their own as we have seen...that is the new future!
Does it make any difference as to why they did it? Will the president find out who did it and with his love of drone strikes, is there a doubt that whoever did will be severely punished?
Why did the president lie about what he was told (knew)?
Why did the president lie about giving instructions to save the Americans at the consulate, when he did not give such instructions?
Why does he continue to lie to people...and think he can get away with it?
And the list goes on, and on, and on...
What a corrupt scumbag Obama is, as well as his entire administration...
Maybe the scumbag will step down. Or maybe the scumbag will be impeached.
Or maybe you will blow a blood vessel. Frankly, that's more likely at this point.
