    He's in the intelligence community. An extramarital affair means he's compromised. Can't have any blackmail possibilities for someone in his position.

    Apparently David Petraeus is/was married to George Clooney's sister?

    Good point. But I'd imagine that President Clinton was in the loop on some intelligence, as well ...

    That was only a blow job. We've all learned that's not a big deal.

    That's intriguing. Wonder who might have tipped off the affair.

    If the fuckin' Director of the CIA can't keep an affair secret, who can?

    Wait a minute....

    Can I get a Freq in the houssssse?

    He forgot to put his spare cell phone in the wheel well.

    Lesson for the ladies: Sometimes when the guy in the bar tells you he works for the CIA, he really does.

    I thought it was Elizabeth Warren's sister. She looks like she has some Cherokee in her.

    Leaks -- lies or truth? And besides, what's an affair to social liberals?
    And if Obama wanted payback, just fire him. No, that would have made him look like "We won" back in 09.

    Keep adopting this line of attack.

    It's really working!

    And it always works to avoid answering the question. Affairs didn't impact, say, Clinton. He just apologized and went back to work.
    Which tells me a lot about Petraeus' character. If that's all this was about, he valued his honor and his spouse more than his service.
