CIA: Petraeus Thrown Under The Bus Over Benghazi

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

‘Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation.

As I depart Langley, I want you to know that it has been the greatest of privileges to have served with you, the officers of our Nation’s Silent Service, a work force that is truly exceptional in every regard. Indeed, you did extraordinary work on a host of critical missions during my time as director, and I am deeply grateful to you for that.

Teddy Roosevelt once observed that life’s greatest gift is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing. I will always treasure my opportunity to have done that with you and I will always regret the circumstances that brought that work with you to an end.

Thank you for your extraordinary service to our country, and best wishes for continued success in the important endeavors that lie ahead for our country and our Agency.

With admiration and appreciation,’

 

David H. Petraeus

      david betraeus is a blatant Treasonous Traitor that sits right next to the black hitler obama and has showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in HIGH TREASON by taking orders from a USURPER illegal alien new world order banker own scumbag. Our entire US federal government are pathetic criminal Sociopaths.

      They tried to Blackmail Petraeus so he resigned and disclosed the dirt they have on him.

    • Patriot

      First Hillary takes the blame, now Petraeus; and,…Holder possibly resigning?
      Shuttling out all the “loose ends” before Congress gets ahold of them?!

    • Genait

      More like he has been given a bus pass out of it.

    • zeus

      petraeus was thrown under bus for these and other reasons,but mostly the undermining of the military and its vote manipulations and cover-ups…fast and furious.

      allen west has demanded a recount of both the military and popular vote I do beleive! why has this not been followed up on. we know that the majority of men and women in uniform would have voted romney because of the military spending cuts and sequestering issues. mean while obummer is in asia again begging the chinese for anothe couple of loans. lets see what happens there.

      the new votecounts of delayed military ballots(by more than one day) and the militarys own beaurocracy in getting right paperwork for absentee ballots both here and in mideast-europe,is questionable at very least,and my feeling is that obamas people told military hierarchies to stiff the proper paperwork to these men and women that serve and die for whats left of our democracy. the media should be hung out to dry for not covering this story november 6th
      of course they SHOULD, but they WON’T, because papa the obumunist is controlling the media! i don’t think the Military votes were counted either, not at all! i had the exact same thought! the traitor in cheif cheated his way into four more years, but that’s NO surprise! NONE at all! if only the sheeple would wake up and see what’s REALLY going on in our beloved Country, they would be crying on their knees!

      They have the films.They told him that he can go the hard way or the easy way.He chose the easy way.They had the films the entire time.They just waited till he was no longer useful to them.Look at his face.He was picked for this reason.He is a foolish man.

      What if it was Petraeus that threw the American people under the bus?
      Many believe General David Petraeus to be a war criminal for his part in torture and killing of civilians.

    • amphibious

      He showed himself to be an unstable & indiscreet braggart & self aggrandiser previously in the Rolling Stone story so why he was ever pout in as Head of the CIA is puzzling. Good riddance.

    • youstopandthink.disqus

      Gen. Petraeus, heterosexual, being demonized because of adultry. USA has done away with traditional marriage and can no longer apply double standards for heterosexual sin without having to apply the same to homosexual sin. Gays get married they cheat on each other is that adultery. I think not since it applies to traditional marriage. Media does not demonize homosexual practices. If Patraeus was derelict in his duties then he should step down but certainly not because of of something he had done in his private life is between God, he and his wife.

      After those 2 Brave and Trustworthy women defenders Threw themselves under the Bus to Protect / Save their Fearless leader Comrade Obama there was still room for the Big Fish to really make it look good. This Benghazi Gate STINKS to High Heaven and “We the People” will never know the Truth. The word “Truth” does not Exist in Washington DC. LIES & COVER UP is the Norm for these Slimeballs we Elect (using that word Loosely).
