Head of CIA resigns, Bogus excuse?

The investigation was not about HIM. But it brought to light some emails ABOUT him. Furhter investigation into those emails revealed he'd had an affair with his biographer. The law states that the FBI must inform the Congressional members of security council and president of any breach that may affect national security. THAT did NOT happen, as it is rumored that this investigation has been on going for months. Obama would have been told. Another cover up? Gen. Paetraus is reported to be a very honorable warrior. He briefed Congress, (not under oath) and said Benghazi was due to a video. BUT when it came to light under testimoney (under oath) by others, that Benghazi WAS NOT about the video, and that the president actually knew the day of the attack that it was not, and that the two Navy Seals had begged for back up and none was sent, in fact help was denied, Paetraus said: NO ONE IN CIA refused them help. This fueled questions as to WHO actually singned the order to deny help to Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith. I believe Obama KNEW about the affair, used it to make Paetraus say it was a video along with the rest of his administration like Clinton, Rice, down to Jay Carney, and Paetraus tried to tell the truth in his statement on the CIA not refusing help to them. I think because Paetraus is an honorable man, he outed himself so HE COULD TELL THE TRUTH soon. He is not on the list to testify, but he can be subpoened or vulunteer to testify, and now what can be done to stop him? the worst is over, his wife and family know of his mistake.

Now he won't be testifying...hmmm....something smells here. Looks like someone did want talk to the committee so used this excuse to get out of it.

Plain and simple: A forced resignation. Politics as usual for the thugs that run Washington. This is just the beginning.

This was posted two weeks ago so of course now it's all been looked at over and over again. Dude knew adultery could get ya in trouble. Funny how he had to resign over it but when Clinton had an affair people didn't care a bit.

I find the timing highly suspicious but not surprising. He's not resigning because of an affair and he might even be unavailable for testimony, maybe permanently if you get my drift. He knows too much. He's either been bought off, scared off or is just as much of a skunk as the rest of them (with apologies to skunks everywhere).

I learned that his affair came to light after he was being investigated by your country's FBI agency following a tip-off. While the agency's claim that was one which concerns national security where if he might be targeted for blackmail, I have to say that I am happy that the Federal agency did not withheld their findings. To me, I felt that this form of scrutiny and transparency is necessary for ALL high positioned law makers, national security heads and even the President. Mistakes like these can bring about heavy ramifications and costly when a country's national security is at stake. It is a good distance from the past where everything is swept under the carpet, literally. At the end of the day, you will not be looking at dusts under it but skeletons. I know that a lot of Americans will feel disgusted with how the affair was being investigated and made known but I simply believe that this is the best development and will help America immensely. As for the tragic Benghazi affair, I do not think he would escape any reproach or responsibility if he is guilty. But, I have to add with no offense but Americans tend to take gathered intelligence for granted since the beginning of times like Pearl Harbor to 9/11. So, I do not think we can solely blame and fault the former head of CIA, David Patraeus for whatever happened in Benghazi. At the same time, I don't think he would be let off the hook for his accountable parts. For the sake of this discussion, going with your bogus excuse claim, I'd like to hear your opinion if there's been some tampering from the FBI, to force his resignation? What do you think?

WOW - didn't realise there were so many conspiracy nutters here.... Maybe he had to go because he knew that Kennedy was shot because faked the moon landings to cover up the 9/11 attack by Bigfoot and the roswell aliens
