As a former CIA agent during my time. In the counterintelligence group the affair has been going on for years, when I first started rumor's have been going around. Half of the people who was working in my unit knew about it but when I got told I was not concerned about it. But I got to say these scandal's have been happening for years. So it will not be the last time these scandalswill happen!
Damn...i feel so sorry for the husband. If he stays with her, he'll always feel a not good enough and see her fantasizing about someone with a bigger resume. If he breaks up with her, he will constantly feel the insecurity that the next woman he's with could turn around and do the same thing. I also feel sorry for the General's wife who's stuck by him all these years. I wish both families well as they try work through these hard times.
@Chris: There are hundreds of people sleeping around but only one of them was Director of the CIA. There are probably other things going on but in the intelligence world they use affairs as blackmail. A rival intelligence service (Mossad, MI6, GRU, ect) could use that against the US. He has become a security risk. He had to go, but I am sure there is more to the story. What is going to be tough is the effect on Paula's husband and kids...they are going to have it rough for a while.
"And now we turn to the woman at the head of the scandal - Paula Broadwell. It was the FBI investigation into her that led to the downfall of David Petraeus". LOL
The language so far is a disappointing "he should testify" instead of a "you damn well bet your arse he will testify" sort of thing. But, yes. You may be right. This group is as transparent as a cataract.
This scandal indicates that conditions in the Middle East and around the world are getting better, so thus there is less for him to do and he has more free time. B/c of that he got BORED and had to do something. Instead of having this scandal, he should have vacuumed his office carpet himself or changed the oil of those HUMVEES. Or he could have changed the spark plugs, the brake pads, etc. If he had done those, taxpayers would have saved money b/c of fewer laborers & less need for higher taxes.
This is not worth resigning over. If I was Obama I refuse to accept his resignation and tell him to get back to work. I don't see how this gets in the way of his job at all.
One thing this video got wrong is that he didn't have to go. Resigning was what Petraeus wanted to do. Ex CIA officer Robert Baer said several CIA Directors he worked for had extramarital affairs, none of them got in trouble for it.Also,sleeping with people is part of the job that CIA officers do.
Going to Harvard doesn't make you morally outstanding and that kids it's why is so important to always question authority no matter what credentials they have....ooookaay??
Holly Petraeus has a lot of important work ahead of her, so let's hope she dumps the insecure, narcissistic fool of a male and moves on to better things. Holly has more strength of character in one arm than David and Paula combined. Run as fast as you want...without integrity, you fall apart before you reach the finish line.
Couldn't he have just divorced his wife first and then asked this woman out JEEZ some people are stupid. Why is it soo dificult to get a divorce rather then end up with a mess like this JEEZ
I agree. But soiled his own service and the trust placed on him. It's not only about the affair, he may have revealed classified information to this woman which she is using in her own speeches at colleges for which she gets paid. He compromised himself and our national security and the integrity of the office entrusted him.
No, I don't think they wanted him killed, due to the details of what unfolded that night. Initially, I thought he got killed by the guys he was probably running guns through. However, if they really wanted to kill him, they could've just blown up the house with mortars and RPGs. Instead, when they failed to get inside, they tried to smoke him out, of which failed due to him expiring from the smoke. So, it looks like a botched kidnapping in exchange for "The Blind Sheik". Theory? Yes. Plausible?
Once again the power of a woman to turn a mighty man to mush is demonstrated & the general just couldn't discipline/control himself enough.People should have learned from Anthony Weiner, Brett Favre, & Tiger Woods: Don't text and email everything. Having said that, the media as usual is making a really big deal out of this with non-stop talk about it when most of the people you talk to on the street could care less.They care more about the economy and jobs, than 2 broads fighting over someone.
What a disgrace. I commend him for the work he's done, but he should know better. And her, well, she has no morals, doesn't she? Just look how relaxed she is on the Daily Show, acting fond of her husband, avoiding to discuss in detail her "relationship" with Petraeus. When people cheat, they never think about the repercussions! I mean, they both have children for God sake! Hope she enjoyed her time in the limelight, cause now she'll forever be known as the woman who slept her way to the top.
I hope you guys are still in your teens or something. Come on! The guy is like 20 years older than her and he's far from the dashing general of fiction. If woman in their 20s and 30s start going for men in their 50s and 60s whose wives then have to worry about and compete with these women in looks, then we have a seriously problem!
These are two high achieving, valuable people and they dig each other. Can't folks have some fun in this boring restrictive world? Let's just back off on monitoring the private lives of each other. It just some hot sex and passion, would you turn it down? If so, what's the point of working and sacrificing? Patriots deserve some reward. If they hurt their respective spouses, that is regrettable, but it's their personal business.
Physically speaking... Paula (being 40) is an absolutely "hottie with a naughty body"... very very do-able... The general definately infiltrated and conquered that one... good for him... however... given his potential for future success... I hope she was worth it... I wonder if he will keep doing her.... that's his only option now... Anyone know how old the general is?
Why do these women have affairs with married men, destroying lives, families. JEEZ its just wrong cos its not just the men who are to blame its these horrible women Alicia Keys, Julia Roberts are two famous people who ran off with married men who had young children. This is what is begining to piss me off its not just the men who have to morally look at themselves its the women who sleep with them to.
Firstly, I don't believe this scenario is so true like many other games being generated daily by the US liar authorities. In case of reality, I'm sure nothing could force him to admit a wrong-doing affair but the Islamic knowledge he learned from Muslim communities obliged and committed him as a responsible man against his wife & his own conscience. Many people specifically those in power are doing this, but they never admit it due to lack of faith, honour, dare, sincerity, integrity, honesty...
As bizarre as t sounds I actually feel sorry for Petraeus. His wife didnt make her self look nice. Michelle Obama and Romneys wife are middle aged but make themselves look nice. Took time to dress up put some makeup, do their hair up. For a heads wife to look like that I honestly cant blame him for falling in love with Paula. It was all psychological.
Go on Petraeus and choose the most true religion by covering to Islam as it will bring you and your family eternity and prosperity. Think about this dude and make your mind up!
What you would hypothetically do is all fine and well, and is actually what I posted should be done. But you said I was "wrong here", yet you don't present any evidence of that. In fact, all you posted actually supports what I posted, so there's no real reason for you to say what I'm wrong in any way. You actually would do what the general did if you were in the same situation, fer cryin' out loud! Good for you on the "bone grandma" opinion but I really don't see a difference from mine.
What I don't understand is what the hell was the FBI investigating him having an affair for. Thats not even a crime. Wtf ...!! what a huge waste of time, and tax dollars.
the title of her book was "ALL IN" , she left us a clue.
What a sad ending to a stellar carreer carved out and lived by a gentleman with a spotless reputation!
As a former CIA agent during my time. In the counterintelligence group the affair has been going on for years, when I first started rumor's have been going around.

Thank You David and Paula! I learnt a Lesson today!!
Damn...i feel so sorry for the husband. If he stays with her, he'll always feel a not good enough and see her fantasizing about someone with a bigger resume. If he breaks up with her, he will constantly feel the insecurity that the next woman he's with could turn around and do the same thing. I also feel sorry for the General's wife who's stuck by him all these years. I wish both families well as they try work through these hard times.
The book's title.... That's what she said! lol
The irony of this is that the book Broadeell wrote about Petraeus is called All In. Lmao
Book titled "All In." tee hee :P
Wow what a classy post. Cheers to you.
When I heard about what Petraeus did, I lost all respect for him.
Until I saw his wife.
Damn straight!!
@Chris: There are hundreds of people sleeping around but only one of them was Director of the CIA.

BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR FAMILY! DUMP IMPURITY. DUMP EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS. DUMP INFIDELITY!!!
I am thinking that I need my biography done...........hi Paula,are you up to a new book
"And now we turn to the woman at the head of the scandal - Paula Broadwell. It was the FBI investigation into her that led to the downfall of David Petraeus". LOL
No surprise Broadwell supported "the surge"
Wow, and she was another man's wife too, with children! I'll be damned!
I wonder how many times he actually hit that. I bet it was not as many times as people think.
The language so far is a disappointing "he should testify" instead of a "you damn well bet your arse he will testify" sort of thing. But, yes. You may be right. This group is as transparent as a cataract.
Home coming Queen...oh no we will never loose that stereotype now!
I'm writing a fantastic book.
The title of this video should say
David Petraeus Resigns Over Affair With Biographer Paula Broadwell BEING FOUND OUT
If you had the possibility to spend time around her as Petraeus had, I bet that you will be the first to beg her to let you go ALL the way IN.
This scandal indicates that conditions in the Middle East and around the world are getting better, so thus there is less for him to do and he has more free time. B/c of that he got BORED and had to do something. Instead of having this scandal, he should have vacuumed his office carpet himself or changed the oil of those HUMVEES. Or he could have changed the spark plugs, the brake pads, etc. If he had done those, taxpayers would have saved money b/c of fewer laborers & less need for higher taxes.
Interesting, except he can still be called to testify and sworn to tell the truth.
Damn Paula's a step up from the home cooking
He just wanted to try some fresher meat.
is this really surprising to anyone? CIA needs to go
Not generally true, but yes, that happens a lot too.
well, who going to run the world now? oh, i mean run the country.
Correct
This is not worth resigning over. If I was Obama I refuse to accept his resignation and tell him to get back to work. I don't see how this gets in the way of his job at all.
Don't blame him.
He was a target for blackmail. You don't want someone with skeletons in his closet knowing what he knows.
how can someone losse his job because he had an affiar?
nonsense....
Rumor has it he's still hitting that
Amazing power that women possess between their legs, responsible for taking down empires.
One thing this video got wrong is that he didn't have to go. Resigning was what Petraeus wanted to do. Ex CIA officer Robert Baer said several CIA Directors he worked for had extramarital affairs, none of them got in trouble for it.Also,sleeping with people is part of the job that CIA officers do.
The director of the CIA can't keep an affair secret?
Look at his wife.......now look at Paula Broadwell....nuff said!
Wait a minute - the the Former CIA chief never heard of PGP ?!!! Fascinating :
ITS BUSHS FAULT......
He had a mistress, yeah, ok… Why is this a big deal? He should not have resigned unless there is more to the story.
the truth behind the scandal, that the media is completely omiting, is that she was trained as an agent in Israel. It says so right on her wikipedia.
Why is this such a big deal in news now? Things like this always happen in regular people' life. Just get a divorce and move on.
So the guy has cheated...big deal... I just hope that he didn't tell that broad any of the military secrets she wasn't supposed to know.
She probably did this to sell her book.
i can see why he did that, his wife let her self go!
Because it displays a serious lack of integrity/character
Going to Harvard doesn't make you morally outstanding and that kids it's why is so important to always question authority no matter what credentials they have....ooookaay??
Still a better love story than Twilight.
Holly Petraeus has a lot of important work ahead of her, so let's hope she dumps the insecure, narcissistic fool of a male and moves on to better things. Holly has more strength of character in one arm than David and Paula combined. Run as fast as you want...without integrity, you fall apart before you reach the finish line.
Smells like a COUP gone bad!
Not too many things dent my soul but...from 1:59-2:07 I almost did have a dent. So sad to read things like this happening.
Couldn't he have just divorced his wife first and then asked this woman out JEEZ some people are stupid. Why is it soo dificult to get a divorce rather then end up with a mess like this JEEZ

This has just a little to do with Benghazi. The Executive response to the Benghazi Attack was totally unAmerican.
No, I don't think they wanted him killed, due to the details of what unfolded that night. Initially, I thought he got killed by the guys he was probably running guns through. However, if they really wanted to kill him, they could've just blown up the house with mortars and RPGs.

Theory? Yes. Plausible?
The fall of man pride money, woman...
These wacky guys, I think I see a sit com coming soon!
Yeah Paula Broadwell alias Paula "Kranz" and Monica "Levyn"-sky.
We love Petraeus,he is a great Leader.
Once again the power of a woman to turn a mighty man to mush is demonstrated & the general just couldn't discipline/control himself enough.People should have learned from Anthony Weiner, Brett Favre, & Tiger Woods: Don't text and email everything.

Book name is All In???, how ironic, she got it all in from the General alright...
What a disgrace. I commend him for the work he's done, but he should know better. And her, well, she has no morals, doesn't she? Just look how relaxed she is on the Daily Show, acting fond of her husband, avoiding to discuss in detail her "relationship" with Petraeus.

All In. Pun intended
With all that ‘protecting American lives’ business goin on - you wouldn’t think anyone would have time to snag a stray piece of ass…
Treason??? TREASON????? How in God's name is this woman guilty of treason? Just because you screamed it across the screen doesn't make it so.
@Mex Seiko Yeah, but only Wiener showed his pics. I want those Paula pics.
baccinatons is a typo error,is vaccinations, sorry i ´m not from a native english speaking country.
May be true but quite unkind remark.
I hope you guys are still in your teens or something. Come on! The guy is like 20 years older than her and he's far from the dashing general of fiction. If woman in their 20s and 30s start going for men in their 50s and 60s whose wives then have to worry about and compete with these women in looks, then we have a seriously problem!
lol True that might be, however cynical the statement. But why would SHE (Broadwell) actually want that fogey? Makes you think he was framed.
How the fuck does he get a woman like that?
These are two high achieving, valuable people and they dig each other. Can't folks have some fun in this boring restrictive world? Let's just back off on monitoring the private lives of each other. It just some hot sex and passion, would you turn it down? If so, what's the point of working and sacrificing? Patriots deserve some reward. If they hurt their respective spouses, that is regrettable, but it's their personal business.
She's more handsome then she is pretty.
She's like Irene Adler...
So what? cant he have an affair ? He is a Human Being after all..He is a Man and she is a Women and its Natural
Walking With
White Lions
O I C Now
She looked pretty before but I doubt if her looks caused an affair.
The President and Congress should fix dis country. ooo i forgot d media too..... pls stop feeding the mainstream crap and do ur job
Physically speaking... Paula (being 40) is an absolutely "hottie with a naughty body"... very very do-able... The general definately infiltrated and conquered that one... good for him... however... given his potential for future success... I hope she was worth it... I wonder if he will keep doing her.... that's his only option now... Anyone know how old the general is?
Why do these women have affairs with married men, destroying lives, families. JEEZ its just wrong cos its not just the men who are to blame its these horrible women Alicia Keys, Julia Roberts are two famous people who ran off with married men who had young children. This is what is begining to piss me off its not just the men who have to morally look at themselves its the women who sleep with them to.
Talk to CamiloSanchez1979. He probably has some picture. Creeps should get together and creep on.
Wow, he is a spy? Why would e let ppl spy on him? He's doing a poor job, he should get kicked out anyways.
Paula! Call me!
He must learned from Bill Clinton...
he is human, nes pas?. Shit it that thing came gunning for me I'd surrender too.
even obama can fall for her
Firstly, I don't believe this scenario is so true like many other games being generated daily by the US liar authorities. In case of reality, I'm sure nothing could force him to admit a wrong-doing affair but the Islamic knowledge he learned from Muslim communities obliged and committed him as a responsible man against his wife & his own conscience.

stop using drugs
As bizarre as t sounds I actually feel sorry for Petraeus. His wife didnt make her self look nice. Michelle Obama and Romneys wife are middle aged but make themselves look nice. Took time to dress up put some makeup, do their hair up. For a heads wife to look like that I honestly cant blame him for falling in love with Paula. It was all psychological.
Ohh...you are being much too cruel lol
damn mafia cia
Go on Petraeus and choose the most true religion by covering to Islam as it will bring you and your family eternity and prosperity. Think about this dude and make your mind up!
Hopefully for you your wife doesn´t read this.
What you would hypothetically do is all fine and well, and is actually what I posted should be done. But you said I was "wrong here", yet you don't present any evidence of that.
In fact, all you posted actually supports what I posted, so there's no real reason for you to say what I'm wrong in any way. You actually would do what the general did if you were in the same situation, fer cryin' out loud!
Good for you on the "bone grandma" opinion but I really don't see a difference from mine.
Petraeus has a tough job, for the love of god if he needs to get some strange let him.
What I don't understand is what the hell was the FBI investigating him having an affair for. Thats not even a crime. Wtf ...!! what a huge waste of time, and tax dollars.
Prob because she might have unwittingly gained access to info that she shouldn’t have
I am not impressed.
