READ: CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus Submits Resignation Letter Revealing Extramarital Affair
Moments ago, Fox News Channel reported that CIA Director David Petraeus had submitted a letter of resignation.
Below is the letter, released this afternoon by the agency:
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

Damn. I'm coming home from the guitar repair shop and thought I'd be the first 1 with this.
Expecting some sort of foul stench pretty soon.

Geez, I wonder if this could have something to do with Benghazi?

Sad way to end a storied career.
Obama should give him the Medal of Freedom.

More like a Purple Heart for falling on his sword to cover up Obama's mess.

Walk me through this one, Steve. How does having Petreaus resign over an affair help Obama weave his tangled Benghazi web? And how did he get Petraeus, a life long military man and no shrinking violet, to end his career in personal disgrace to cover up for Benghazi?
This should be good.

Oh, you're just trying to be funny again, but not being. Sorry, it looks exactly like your other crap so there's no way to know.

Nah, it's just that your humor doesn't present itself as humor. Diehard suspects something. I'm sure everyone in the wingnuttisphere suspects something. It's not that big a leap to imagine that you would too, smiley face or not.

I wonder if it's anything more complicated than a reporter having the story and calling him to confirm, which forced him to resign.
I don't see why he shouldn't testify, though.

well, Petraeus,
you live in a skunk hole with skunks....
you think you're going to end up smelling like a rose?
Like, you didn't get the hint when they were calling you "BEtrayus" ??? Really?
-
Yes, Petraeus fucking his biographer is ...the Democrats' fault.
-
Liberal biographer no doubt trying to lead his penis to ruin.
-
He tossed his honor aside - it's the only way to be a democrat now.
Required rite of passage - give up your honor, your common sense,
and anything that reeks of initiative, hard work, and principles.
And you get....what Petraeus got.
Too bad.

I really hope that cal never finds out about the republican politicians that led secretly gay lives. I'm just not quite sure how he'd react.
