[KChiefer]

...supposedly due to extramarital affair.

Carrie Mathison is such a minx!

-------------------------
3:02PM EST November 9. 2012 - NBC reported Friday that CIA director David Petraeus has resigned from the CIA, citing an extramarital affair.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell said the resignation was submitted in a letter dated Friday and was accepted by the White House.

In a letter, Petraeus noted that he had been married for 37 years and had exercised "extremely poor judgment' in conducting an extramarital affair.

Petraues took over as head of the CIA in September of 2011 following his tour as head of allied forces in Afghanistan.

There isn't a court in the land that would convict Patreus for sampling from the dessert cart.

So Holder knew about the probe for several weeks, but never told the White House. OK another unbelievable scenerio

Holder is another one that needs to be tried and put up against the wall for crimes against the American people.

You would be surprised.

General John Allen, the guy who replaced Petraeus as the commander of American and Allied troops in Afghanistan has apparently been sending emails to the woman who indirectly blew the whistle on Petraeus and his mistress (which is what New Chief was referring to, I presume). According to reports, he's sent 20,000 to 30,000 pages worth of emails and other documents to this Jill Kelley gal. That's a lot of correspondence. John Hinderaker of Powerline puts it in perspective:

The story I want to return to is the one involving another general, John Allen, who succeeded Petraeus as the commander of American and allied troops in Afghanistan. As a form of collateral damage, apparently, the FBI has found that General Allen, like the FBI agent, is obsessed with Jill Kelley. She must be quite a woman! Allen reportedly exchanged “20,000 to 30,000 pages of emails and other documents” with Mrs. Kelley. Ponder that for a moment: 20,000 to 30,000 pages? In Search of Lost Time is only 3,200 pages long. If you assume a standard 250 words to a page, you can fit the complete works of William Shakespeare into around 3,540 pages. The Bible can be printed, in most editions, in under 1,500 pages. So what on earth were General Allen and Mrs. Kelley writing so as to fill up 20,000 to 30,000 pages? Poetry? Love notes? The longest military treatise ever? Assume it took General Allen a mere five minutes to either read or write one page–no doubt a low estimate, when it comes to writing–and use the mid-point of 25,000 pages. That would mean that Allen devoted 125,000 minutes to his correspondence with Mrs. Kelley, or 2,083 hours–in other words, a full work year (40 hours times 52 weeks). No wonder we aren’t winning in Afghanistan!

I used to think the armed forces were an oasis of sanity in an otherwise-crazy world, but that view obviously needs to be reconsidered.

Holy cow!

He must have included her on some distribution list or something. That's crazy.

Maybe they were going over Obamacare page by page.

Lew commented that Rush made a valid point on this:

Limbaugh Actually Makes a Valid Point
In discussing one general's perhaps 30,000 love letters, Rush said: "Didn't he do any work?" The answer is no. No bureaucrat, in a government suit or not, does much work at all. That's one of the benefits of living off the taxpayers by force.

[La literatura]

To put that number into perspective, it's almost 3 months of BucEyedPea posts which contain the word "strawman" or "Did you say something?" from each of her three registered forums.

[WoodDraw]

So the FBI agent involved in launching the investigation had sent shirtless pictures of himself to Kelley. This whole thing just keeps getting funnier.

Get this group a reality show.

[HonestChieffan]

And Holder is staying and that nitwit Rice will be Sec of State. My heavens.
