It’s Tough To Understand Why The Director of the CIA David Petraeus Cheated on His Wife Huh?
ABC - The Florida woman who received harassing emails from Paula Broadwell, spurring an FBI probe that ultimately uncovered the Gen. David Petraeus’ extramarital affair with his biographer and led to his resignation as director of the CIA, has been identified as Jill Kelley, a local concerned citizen who volunteers to help the military. The saga, which would ultimately end the public service career of one of the most respected military minds of this generation, began when harassing emails were sent to Kelley, who in turn, notified the FBI. The emails were traced to Broadwell’s inbox, where investigators are said to have found intimate emails that indicated Petraeus was having an extramarital affair with his biographer. Investigators uncovered no compromising of classified information or criminal activity, sources familiar with the probe said, adding that all that was found was a lot of “human drama.” “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,” Petraeus said in a statement on Friday.
First things first. I love how everybody is acting so shocked that this guy cheated. “Like how does somebody in that position cheat on his wife blah, blah, blah”. Umm do you see what his mistress looks like? You see what his wife looks like? Case closed. Hell I would have fired Petraeus if he didn’t cheat. Like loyalty and 37 years of marriage is all fine and dandy, but EVERYBODY cheats in that situation. He’d belong in an insane asylum if he didn’t. But that’s not the point of this blog. Instead my question is how scary is this shit? I mean if the god damn Director of the CIA can’t cheat without getting caught who the fuck can? Like he’s supposed to be the best person in the world at keeping secrets and even he couldn’t do it. It just goes to show you it doesn’t matter how smart you think you are or how sneaky you think you are as long as bitches are involved you got no chance. Eventually everything is going to cave in on you like a house of cards. Scary shit indeed for a mogul like myself.
He got caught because the stupid mistress thought she needed to tell the other woman “to back off my man” and apparently, there wasnt any connection between Petraeus and Jill Kelley……if she just kept her damn mouth shut, Petraeus would still be banging her today and no one would be the wiser…Dumm broad….
too bad he didnt have 2 million internet dollars to pay everyone to keep quiet
So true pres, there’s no way Renee will be able to keep her weekly deep dicking sessions secret from you to spare your fragile Jew feelings, no matter how hard she tries.
gret blog Pres. My thoughts exactly. Gotta cheat in this situation, but if this dude gets caught putting his junk in another broad, how the fuck can he keep military/intelligence secrets to protect the U.S. and A.
I go with “Nikita” 11 out of 10 times if I was Patraeus. Mrs Doubtfire to the curb
spot on, pres. i’ve always said that there is no such thing as a secret between girls. no matter if they’re best friends or worst enemies, they can’t keep their traps shut. if you ask me, the CIA’s spies should be 100% female. Bin Laden would’ve been found in a heartbeat. send the whitest chick in the world into afghanistan, and before you know it, they’ll be with the top targets’ mistresses watching Waiting to Exhale, exchanging “you go, girls” and hugging and shit.

The mistress is nuttier than squirrel shit. Sent emails to another woman telling her to stay away from the General. Funny that the book is titled “All In”.
So, the question remains… does the good ole General still get to fuck the mistress? Why stop fucking her now?
I’m really supposed to believe that 1. So called affair ended four months ago, 2. FBI stated since no crime committed they did not bother to report to Congress they are investigating most powerful intelligence officer in the world (nothing to see here folks). 3. He conveniently drops his resignation days before testifying. 4. Clinton can’t testify due to a schedule conflict 5. Holder does not report this investigation to President. Journalism is dead, and should now be called the ministry of propaganda.
this story should be proof that all conspiracy theories are bullshit…if the CIA director can’t keep an affair secret which involves him and one other person then how the fuck can conspiracies involving 10, 50, or hundreds of people ever be kept secret? Oswald killed Kennedy, we landed on the moon, and a bunch of pissed off muslims were the attackers on 9-11
prez you definitely strike me as the type of man that gets cheated on regularly.
I never want to hear “Benghazi” for the possible reasons of Petreaus having to resign again. Never.
And that’s ALL you heard from wing nuts on FOX, even Murdoch tweeted about it. Seriously, how much longer will they use the attack in Libya against the admin? Eric Cantor knew about the affair in October, the FBI started an investigation last summer, and the impetus was his mistress emailing another woman to stay away from her man. Hilarious.
PS Petreaus can kiss his 2016 presidential prospects goodbye…
Thats the director of the CIA ???
Guy looks like he should be selling corn on the side of the road or dressing like a clown and molesting kids
^ That corn-selling clown can remove your larynx 23 different ways using nothing more than the Prez’s nose.
How bout Jill Kelley (get some pics of her up!)? The grill is kinda two-faceish but bod city for days. Obviously something was going on there for Broadwell to start with the threats. For a nerdy lookin dude with a frumpy wife Petraeus was LIVIN!
It’s not a question of a conspiracy it’s a question of ideology preventing people from what is the right thing in the face of political expediency. First report goes out that an ambassador (4 star equivalent) is under attack, battle rages for over 9 hours. Flight time by tactical jet from Aviano is measured in minutes, by AC-130 Gunship its 1.5 hours. Even a non-lethal response could have been low fly aircraft in burner causing crowds to disperse, much less being able to put up a wall of steel around this compound with trained SEALS calling in support. This is a classic example of wrong thinking and not taking care of your people.
This is all part of a the Benghazi cover up. Smoke screens and distractions? What, Clinton can’t make the hearings… then reschedule them. Now Petreaus isn’t testifying, the guy who took over is.
Really? Are we all going to just stand back and let Obama steamroll us like this.
If you voted for Obama, you are a fucking idiot.
It’s too bad we can’t get some brilliant thinkers like kingpin into some sort of high-level government job, because he’s obviously got everything figured out. He’s got flight times down, he’s somehow developed a system equating appointed foreign service officers with promoted military commanders (4 star equivalent?!?), etc. He’s what everyone else on the right correctly refers to as a “jeanyus”.
Welp, we can add tornopen to that list of prominent confederate thinkers. You guys should have figured this shit out BEFORE the election. Such a shame…
El Prez is being cheated on right now.
Paula Broadwell lives in Boston and works for Harvard (well at least did).
Don’t worry Pres. Smut moguls have to pay for their sex. Pretty sure hookers don’t do their research to figure out who you are. They really don’t research their Johns.
Hey Slap… Why do you think they have the equivalent rank dummy, so they are on the same playing field as area military commanders i.e.: SES (senior executive service) an ambassador hold rank equal to 010. Also the the same military officers at these ranks may serve as ambassadors and occupy the most senior positions in diplomatic missions. Help has arrived, educating one mindless Obama drone after another… As for my resume, lets just say I have been in some very shitty places while you were sitting on your ass complaining about class warfare and how evil the rich are. I certainly have nothing to prove to the likes of you I hope your enjoying your day off, no need to thank me.
Slaphappy, you mad bro?
Kingpin I think you play to much call of duty
@Wilburham, now that is damn funny. Touche
I ain’t mad bro, just mocking the ridiculous pearl clutching and armchair quarterbacking about Benghazi. I’m sure neither of these guys made a peep about the orchestrated campaign of lies and propaganda which got us into the Iraq war, but four dead Americans in Libya and they’re screaming treason. It’s laughable.
Wait, another many year, well respected military officer who was at one point a darling of the right is now being attacked by the special needs on the right as a stooge for the mighty Obama, somewhere Colin Powell is laughing his ass off. Tornopen, put down the crack pipe, find your gun and eat it, if you believe what you type, you’re too retarded to live.
looks like Sarah Palin’s barstool screenname is tornopen.
Some of us did figure this out before the election…. 49% of us.
Slap, stop with all those facts. You must know that right wingers don’t like clear, demonstrable facts. See: election polls.
But you’re right.. All of a sudden the GOP wants to investigate how an one-off attack was staged. THe loss of life is regrettable and tragic. Yet they don’t care about the years of WMD lies, obfuscations of congressional investigations, AND the outing of a covert CIA agent working on Pakistan’s nuke program.
I’m so glad the election is over. And Obama won with a larger majority than Bush did in 2004. So there’s your mandate. Now suck on it..
@eataroundthebush — keep drinking the Kool Aid… keep believing whatever the media and government wants you to believe. Cover ups and dirty politics happen every. You seem to have this childish view that our leaders are perfect people who don’t make mistakes.
This is not a R or D thing… I also hated GW Bush, that fucking idiot led us into Iraq without a good reason. Billions of dollars laters and thousands of deaths later…. people still can’t acknowledge what a fuck up he was.
Machete… “looks like Sarah Palin’s barstool screenname is torn open.”
FTW!!
@machete — don’t be an idiot. We have a president who thinks we are idiots. Trying to use some fucking youtube video instead of telling us the truth.
BTW, Sarah Palin is a fucking idiot…anybody who supports her probably believes the earth is 6,000 years old and Adam & Eve rode dinosaurs to school every day.
This is simple. Your Ambassador calls for help and is ignored despite the fact assets were not only in place, but capable of rendering assistance. It might not have changed the outcome and he still might have been murdered, but it would not have been from a lack of trying or not keeping faith with your people in the field. A message that an ambassador under attack goes straight to White House Communications, as well as many other key players, to say nobody knew or information was not being passed quickly enough, is simply not true. Certain messages are required to be responded to in certain time frames given how they are sent and who they are sent to, fact.
Even Condoleeza Rice has explained there is nothing to BEnghazi. But since FOX and the GOP thought this would be a “Jimmy Carter” moment, they ran with it. And kept the lies going.
FACTS: -Obama did NOT ask anyone to “stand down”. According to a CIA official: “There were no orders to anybody to stand down in providing support.”
-The military diverted a Predator drone from a reconnaissance mission in Darnah, 90 miles away, in time to oversee the mission’s evacuation.” Two commandos from Tripoli also joined the fight.
-The GOP-led house cut $300 MILLION from Embassy security.
Benghazi was an attack on ALL OF US. Instead of grieving for one of our best ambassadors in the region, wing nuts just want to attack the President. Where was that outrage from 4500+ deaths Iraq/AfPak deaths over faulty WMD intelligence?? Crickets.

Kingpin… LIES LIES LIES! Seriously, who are you getting information from??
Please post any relevant article that says the President “ignored” help. Or that “assets” were “not in place”. A fucking Predator drone was diverted and sent right away. And two commandos from Tripoli came right over.
You are a fucking idiot. I don’t even know why I bother..
The truth about Benghazi has yet to come out. That’s why they have these hearings, to clear up this mess. But having these hearings and half of the important decision makers don’t show up…. it’s a joke.
As far as Obama is concerned… he made excuses for it, defended their anger over a fuckin video. He is a disgrace to this country.
Torn… the election is over. The black guy is getting another four years. He won in an electoral landslide, and by a wider country wide vote margin than Bush in 2004. And that makes 5 out of the last 6 Presidential elections to Democrats in popular votes. So kick some rocks..
@hanknyny — the election is over, but I have the freedom to tell the world how much I despise our President as much as I want. I also hated GW Bush, and just considered Romney the lesser of two evils. You do realize 90% of this country, both R and D can barely read above a 5th grade level?
Does it make me cool that I went to college with General Patraeus’s son, and met the General several times? I’d say it does.
Lies I don’t think so. (reportedly) Unarmed Predator, even if armed not very useful in a night time house to house engagement, the two “commandos” or former SEALS, likely to augment personnel security details, but who knows with those guys. Two against a coordinated assault of many armed with various small arms, RPG’s and LMG’s are not going to add much to the fight considering they are just going to fight and maneuver with what they can carry on them. The idea of diplomatic security is to protect the principal and get him out of harms way quickly, not to stand and fight. I site example of Maersk Alabama to show how quickly we can get forces in area and respond. Not one reporter as has asked about what 6th Fleet assets were in the AOR at the time, much less Aviano. Aviano’s stated mission is “Rapid Global Mobility: Being able to respond quickly and decisively anywhere we’re needed is key to maintaining rapid global mobility.” Home to 31st Fighter Wing, home to two F-16 fighter squadrons — the 510th and the 555th. The wing’s mission includes:
Conducting air and space combat support operations in Europe’s Southern region, Conducting regional and expeditionary operations under NATO, SACEUR or national tasking with conventional and non-conventional munitions
Maintaining an air control squadron capable of air surveillance, control and communications, Providing command, control and support functions. Yep, no way we could have helped those guys, no way…
General’s wife ain’t so bad. If I was 60 and looking for a good time, I’d hit that. I would also expect a homemade apple pie and meatloaf dinner right after.
3 people can keep a secret if two of them are fucking dead.
Preach on brother Dave, preach on…
tornopen has taught me one thing thru this thread – she’s suffered multiple concussions in her recreational dodgeball league.

Well, look at the little bitch stomping his feet and doing the teacup (teacup is what bitches do, one hand on hip, one finger wagging while they act tough)…..
Dude, fuck you. Fuck you 1000 times. Keep believing what is being fed to you. Keep living in your liberal fantasy world.
Don’t be so naive.
hanknyny is a real fucking idiot… believes whatever Obama’s press office spit.
Liberals today trust their president and whatever he says 100%. But these are the same people who threw around every little conspiracy theory around Bush.
So they didn’t trust Bush, but fully trust Obama. Why? Both were/are full of shit.
It’s part of a grand cover up you fucking idiot. The sooner your realize that, they sooner you remove your head from your ass.
Hey, hanknyny! Get your facts straight. What the CIA said was that nobody FROM THE CIA told anybody to stand down. The obvious implication was such an order had to have come from Obama.
Do we see a reason for the people who used publicly sexually embarrasing news stories like the Ryan divorce case? Or Blair Hull’s, to use this ploy again against Petraeus, yet?
David Axelrod! Come on down!
re: tornopen — She’d HAVE to throw in a rusty trombone, too.
SlapHappy: “…I’m sure neither of these guys made a peep about the orchestrated campaign of lies and propaganda which got us into the Iraq war…”
What’re you sayin’ Slap, all those Democrats – Poweel, Kerry & Clinton included – got led around by the nose by Hitler McChimp?
How stupid does that make THEM? Perhaps they were fooled by all those allies agreeing Bush had solid evidence for war. You lefties keep trying to rewrite history; I’ll keep correcting y’all.
