   We’ll ee how long it takes for Issa (my Congressman, unfortunately) tries to tie Obama to this.

   Don’t you know that some "Con"gressmen will try to tie Obama to anything, and EVERYTHING that happens in the next 4 years?

   Certain repubtards are now trying to equate this to “Iran/Contra” and demanding a few years of hearings. Of course there’s nothing to investigate relative to Afghanistan/Iraq and prosecuting who lied there.

   
   Yes, Pelosi DID make the biggest error in the history of the House by saying “Impeachment is off the table”, denying the country even an “official inquiry” into the greatest treason in our nation’s history. Even the circus around the Watergate break in led to people going to prison, as they should have, but Watergate didn’t lead to the deaths of thousands of our soldiers, and many thousands of civilians!

   
   Right, now we have another “Zippergate” to investigate, truly vital to the nation’s security.

   A bit of projection going on here -
   That’s what Liberals do.
   They did it to Romney.
   Everything negative they could find.
   Didn’t even have to be something that happened. They even tied him to things that he “might do” in the future.
   —
   And of course to Bush.
   Everything bad that EVER happened is Bush’s fault.

   Well, maybe not EVERYTHING, but a whole heck of a lot of the trouble we are in, and have been in for the last 5 or 6 years CAN be laid directly at shrub’s feet…well, him, and Darth Cheney!

   Petraeus offered a letter of resignation, Obama didn’t have to accept it. Maybe he is cleaning house by getting rid of a Bush appointee so he can put in his own guy.

   I certainly don’t blame him for doing that biographer.

   Oh, please, ansonia. The conservatives are already trying to pin Petraeus’ affair to Obama. They think it’s to block him from testifying at the Benghazi hearings (though if they need him, they can still get him). Most of what “liberals” unearthed about Romney happened to be true. THIS is pure right-wing conspiracy theory lunacy, like the “Obama’s mother secretly posted a birth announcement in Hawaii just in case her son someday wanted to run for president, but it was important for him to be born in Kenya so that… so that… wait, I’m working on it. Oh, so he’d hate America! That’s it!”

    Trout. You are doing nothing but alienating people to your cause. The whole blame Bush, “repubtards” just makes people defensive, not sympathetic to your message. People read that stuff and ignore it, and all it does is further the divisive state of mind in the country. When you win a contest, it is up to the winner to extend his hand to avoid the hard feelings. The country needs constructive solutions now, not a bitter restatement of history. We all know the history…

    The Benghazi attack is one thing. I personally think it should be investigated to settle this issue of something being covered up or our ambassador being abandoned. Unfortunately this thing with Patraeus comes up just to further cloud the issue. We lived through Clinton’s indiscretions and personally I don’t give a damn who these guys sleep with. That’s up to them and their wives to slug out. This whole thing is turning into another convoluted mess that is going to be a lot of finger pointing, nasty arguing on web sites like this one and will just further prolong the partisan divide we have in our country.

    Although I had high regard for Mr. Petraeus as a general, as head of a spy agency that sends descriptive emails to his paramour?….not so much. What was the man thinking?

    @mickey1339

    I agree with you mickey. The SecState or President probably had no involvement in denying adequate security in Benghazi, but with all that was going on concerning foreign interests in Libya some UnderSec was definitely neglegent.

    As does all the “Dimlib” BS and calling President Obama disrespectful and down right childish names.

    1. Ambassador Stevens chose to go to Benghazi, against the advice of the Libyans, and even his own people, because they could not “secure” the situation there. HIs own sister said he knew the risk, and accepted it. These outreach “missions” are NOT always safe, nor defensible, especially with the small number of “defenders” as in contractors, available. End of Benghazi “story”, period.

    2. That the libidinous actions of a former military man, who would have been court-martialled for having an affair while still in the military, Article 134 UCMJ, is now being trotted out by “less than intelligent, OR patriotic” Republicans is beyond intellect. They do NOT have ANY “right” to be informed by either FBI, CIA, or State, when NO violation of law seems to have occurred, after investigation.

    3. That right wing evangelical Republicans still refuse to accept ANY fault for the actions, errors, or impacts of “W” because it was a whole three years ago, should reflect on how many of them are trying to destroy this country, and burn the Constitution, because some of “us” don’t go along with the myths and “preachings” of their favorite guy laid down as their “duty”, some 2,000 years ago!!
