...supposedly due to extramarital affair.

Carrie Mathison is such a minx!

-------------------------
3:02PM EST November 9. 2012 - NBC reported Friday that CIA director David Petraeus has resigned from the CIA, citing an extramarital affair.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell said the resignation was submitted in a letter dated Friday and was accepted by the White House.

In a letter, Petraeus noted that he had been married for 37 years and had exercised "extremely poor judgment' in conducting an extramarital affair.

Petraues took over as head of the CIA in September of 2011 following his tour as head of allied forces in Afghanistan.

Do you think this is a cover story or the up coming Benghazi investigations? He did push the same false narrative the administration did after the attack.

Could be a lot of things. It could be that he a sudden attack of honor and decided to come clean, giving up his dream job. It could be that he's using this as an excuse to get out a situation that he doesn't like, that he simply doesn't want to be the CIA director anymore for any number of reasons. It could be that someone threatened to spill the beans because his testimony in an investigation would not be favorable to them.

Thanks, your's and LVNHACK's input in the Benghazi threads have been invaluable since you've both been/being there done that. Same with my Bro.

Sounds like this wasn't expected but who knows. I guess we'll see how it plays out in the upcoming Benghazi hearings.

That's her. Here's a photo of her going under cover in 16th century Italy.

There's some topless pics, but I'll keep those out of DC.

Being the CIA Director I’m sure he could quietly make this go away if he really wanted too. He wants out, for whatever reason.

There has to be more. Maybe he told her things he shouldn't.
