Lemme see if I understand. You are saying that someone who is having an affair can be forced to do something they don't want to do? You mean, like blackmail?



If a man in that position allows himself to get into a position to be blackmailed, he should get fired.

From what is known know, he is taking an "honourable" route.



Did you have the same opinion about Clinton with regards to Lewinsky?

This is what Diane Feinstein said about it:

"She also said Petraeus will not need to testify at hearings she is chairing next week into the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack."
You don't have to outrun the bear.

Heh heh. Not with Bill. He was elected with all the world knowing he was a hound-dog. There was nothing secret to blackmail! :D:D Besides, he did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky. God, I love that man.

Oh, the double standards and idiotic defenses. Reminds me of something my attorney would say.

But of course...why would anyone think it would be important for the CIA Director testify. What could he possibly know? :S

Thia shit stinks. He should be compelled to testify.

If Clinton, when asked about his sexual involvement with said chubbette had said "She claimed she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch and I was skeptical until she proved it. Any other questions?," he would not have been impeached. The specifics of the impeachment stemmed from lying under oath, not for dallying with the junior staff.

The ironic thing about Clinton's attempt to shield himself by claiming to fall under the UCMJ is that the sanctions against adultery in the military are more severe with increasing rank. A PO3 who makes niknik outside of marriage might get punishment under Article 15 at worst. An Admiral will routinely get cashiered.

Had a Court Martial board decided Clinton's fate, he would have been lucky to avoid a stint in the Brig.

Petraeus is a man of honor. He knew better, and is taking full responsibility without batting an eye.


Slick Willie, OTOH, squirmed and thrashed enough to get loose.

I love how the Obama Admin. covered this up until after the elections. Bad politics for it to come out that your CIA Director can't keep it in his pants and has opened hmself up to blackmail. It might just remind people of another famous adulterer. I wonder what else we are going to find out about in the coming months.

It's not at all like Hulk. Broadwell's husband isn't named Bubba. But maybe the husband videod the acts?

Edited: I see she's also a major in Military Intelligence in the USAR. Talk about two people who should absolutely know better. :S She'll be losing her clearance, too.

Maximum punishment for adultery according to UCMJ is actually two years of hard labor, and yes Leavenworth still has gravel pits! However, the maximum punishment is rarely enforced. As a matter of fact I have never seen it enforced and have even seen instances of senior leaders being involved with subordinate's wives. Usually the individual is simply forced to retire because nobody wants to taint someone's benefits.
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Uh, huh. I'm sure they didn't find out about the affair until AFTER the election. Someone needs a new schtick, perhaps up the ass.

I want you to take your time and use your imagination. Think of every possibility you can imagine and write them all down. Again, please take your time and give it some thought when answering this next question.

What difference could it possibly make?

Please show your work.

Answer: I have no idea.

Question: if it wouldn't have made any difference, why the delay?

Now I want you to think very carefully before answering.
