Seriously,it's much ado about nothing and it's affect on Obama's Administration is just a lot of Republican wishful thinking.

If this had happened in Europe then i seriously doubt there would be any fuss made over it.

in this day and age, where even one's gramma could have a sex tape resurface at any moment, the term sex scandal seems outdated and a bit over the top lol

In the cold war era this would have been a big deal to some Governments,but now get over it and move on.

He has knowledge and access to top secret classified American intelligence. And who was in a position to possibly be black-mailed.

Seems like reason enough.

All this reminds of an old riddle:

Q) What do Mr. Petraeus and an empty piggy bank have in common?

A) They both have absolutely "no cents/sense".

If all it amounts to is a couple of middle aged men having a dalliance with younger women then I agree.  But if either was dumb enough to actually let slip classified info then the story will have legs.  Short of being caught standing over the body of a member of his own family, gun in hand and smoke rising, Obama is untouchable - mostly because he just ignores the law and dares anyone to challenge him.

It is sad, his relationship problems are his problems. I got no respect for the Murdock news media or  the other main stream news outlets.  They're just out to sell air time, they don't really care about what is going on of any real importance.

Well if this is true then now that the sex cat is out of the bag patreus has no reason not to blow the lid off of the Libya thing right?  (doubtful)

There is nothing to "blow the lid off of" and never was.

It doesn't take a genius to see that someone high up inthe government blew the manning and security of our embassy in a big way and someone high up's head should roll.  The fact that there sin't a senate investagative hearing being conducted live on cspan is a disgrace.

No it's not. You can't staff an embassy with an unlimited amount of security personnel. I don't know enough details to say what happened there, but it is not as if someone fell asleep and forgot to lock the front door....
It's not like 5 people with slingshots walked in.


A cable was sent to higher ups that the embassy was vulnerable to attack because it was in a city where the gov't was not firmly in control, there are Al Quada camps were in the countryside, and there is limited host nation support. That's EVERY US EMBASSY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

Unless you put every middle east US embassy in the middle of a military base, you are never going to have a completely secured area. And even then.....

"in a position to possibly?"


now THAT sounds ominous.

If he broke any laws, then he should be prosecuted, and that's about the extent of it.

FFS... do you people actually believe this nonsense? Or do you just say it out of a sense of frustration that you lost?

Sadly, I think they do. That is why they are obsessed with Benghazi in the first place...ANYTHING to make Obama look bad...If you turn on Fox 'News' you would think Benghazi is the biggest tragedy and government cover-up in US history.

There is no fuss.

You wouldn't know that by watching Fox news though, but most people here don't think either incident is a "scandal" and most people care very little that a general was banging his biographer for a few months, or if the white house labeled or didn't label an attack on a US embassy "terrorist" or not and when.

So the Director of the CIA giving false testimony about the death of an ambassdor because the administration is blackmailing him is nothing to fuss about?  Wow, if this was Bush's watch I am sure the outcry would be loud and shrill.

Did you think Watergate was a big deal?  O h hell, I don't expect an honest answer from you and have no idea how old you were at the time but that was a bungled burglary that hurt no one and took downm a President.  Coverting uop teh death of an ambassador to get yourself reelected makes Wtergate look like child's play.  The fact that people like you on the left and the MSM are willing to bury it to protect your guy speaks volumes for the character of the people on the left.

Personally, I'd be outraged if my side did something like this and it find it abhorrent that the media is acting as a willing accomplice.  If this was Watergate, Woodward and Bernstein would be helping Nixon cover up the crime and outing Deepthroat as a crazy extremist.

Wait, what? Man, I missed this news story...It must be a new one...I didn't realize any of this was proven, or even had evidence to support it, as of yet...

And no talking about Bush...that was 4 years ago...
