No mention of Snooki?

I'm glad Paula Broadwell lost her security clearance. Iraq was supposed to be boots on the ground, not legs in the air.

During the Civil War, lady camp followers that clung to General Hooker became known as, "HOOKERS".

So will future generations similarly coin a new word honoring General Petreaus by GIVING or RECEIVING, "PATE"?

No, I think the camp followers will just be called "biographers."

I love it!

2 bucks says this Kelly lady is some sort of agent. If not then she is at least on the payroll some where.

It gets better and better. As a friend remarks, "the Taliban and Ayatollahs have to be laughing out loud at the self-purging of America."

Ha! So it's this guy's job to start a ruckus, so they intentionally start a ruckus with him? Truly mesmerizing.

To Recap, for hilarity: The head of the CIA gets taken down due to an adulterous love triangle with his biographer and an unpaid social liaison officer, which somehow throws his reliability into question.

The affair is discovered after the liaison officer complains to a 'friend' in the FBI about the other woman. She's also involved with another general in what we can only assume is some sort of 4 star general fetish.

The social liaison officer, who supposedly does not work for the government, is also involved with in assisting the government in cooling the free speech of a Florida shock jock who constantly spars with the local mayor. This Jock is also involved in the release of a sex type starring Hulk Hogan and the Shock Jock's wife (or ex wife)...

Meanwhile FOX News puts on their tin foil hats and cries conspiracy because the government, during the reign of Patreaus, put out misinformation for the first couple of days after a major terrorist attack in Libya.

TV miniseries to follow starring Herman Cain and the cast of The Jersey Shore.

I'm not sure Petraeus fully entered the social liaison's sphere of influence.

Does it bother anyone that our national security administration is basically turning into a reality tv show: "Real Husbands of the Pentagon"

"Sponge worthy"?
So many possibilities .

Bubba the Love Sponge - another American demonstrating complete and total idiocracy. It is hateful idiots like this that allow America to continue on its reckless imperial onslaught.

And yes the world is full of hatefull idiots, but America was supposed to be a beacon of hope that the world could be based on freedom and liberty for all.

That hope has apparently been pissed away as America disintegrates into a dysfunctional, illiterate, and mean-spirited bunch of rent seekers.

And what does this scandal really represent? How can these generals have so much time on their hands to be sending off hundreds of emails and playing paddy cake while supposedly fighting a war?

Could this be the indicator that this so called "war on terror" is a total farce? That the officer corp is so disengaged and disillusioned because they know it's all BS? You go to Afghanistan and find out that we are enabling the Heroin trade, that Kosovo was all about setting up a transit point for Europe.

You find out that the supposed enemy, Al-CIAda, are now your designated freedom fighters in Libya and Syria and that maybe the whole deal that went down in Bengazi had to do with somebody getting cold feet in arming our supposed enemy?

But of course the press and the people will disregard the indicators and seek only the naughty pleasure of peeking into somebody else's sex life.

Can we stop deifying the military now, and cut the defense budget in half?

Seriously Cary. Can we put a hold on tossing the old and sick under the bus until we deal with the military budget.

'Defense budget by half' is not half enough. OBLITERATE it.
In a 10-yr 'step down' of course. 10% per year.
