My thoughts as well.If the country accepted Clinton, our President having an affair, why can't we accept that with Petraeus?
The country apparently thought this wasn't a problem for Clinton either.Now if he lied, or covered up the affair because they reported to him than that IMPO a different story. That is professional life mixing with their personal life
Apparently, it's not a great idea to be in the intelligence business and have an affair. The temptress may be the bad guy/girl.
I'm beginning to think that they put 'infidelity' stuff in the water at West Point that the future Generals drink.
when has a CIA Director ever had to resign for this level of offense?
I find this news extremely odd for two reasons - firstly since when has a CIA Director ever had to resign for this level of offense? As if Petraeus is the first?!? Secondly - the timing of this is just too weird - Friday late pm? That is when news that someone wants to bury is announced. I would think it was shame for his actions except that he is/was scheduled to testify about Benghazi next week in a closed hearing with the House Intelligence Committee. I have to wonder if leaving his post now absolves him from testifying? If I were a member of the Committee I think I would insist Petraeus testify whether in office or not.
.... and the Iranian shoot down.

At least one press source is reporting that the mistress had obtained access to his email (presumably his work email). If true, that would be a significant security issue.
