This is my opinion, and only that...

General Petraeus is a political animal.

His rise to the Director of the CIA in the Obama Administration should demonstrate that.

That he forgot the oaths of Marriage and of his office to engage in a sordid affair with his "biographer" should also indicate that he has flaws which should prevent him from reaching the pinnacles of power. In these areas, there is no doubt, David Petraeus has failed himself, his family and his country.

To go a bit further, I (as a retired officer of the US Army) would like to know if the General has EVER rated a subordinate officer poorly for, Ethics, Morals or Judgment. If so, I would submit that the General was untrue to the Nation, the United States Army and his family in not resigning his commission when he committed adultery and divulged classified materials to his "biographer".

He's a fraud.

Talks the talk, but can't or won't walk the walk.

To heck with him and McChrystal and their WWG elitist views. (Throw McRaven in there too...)
