The right way of handling it. Don't wait for the press to mangle your image, just get it out there and deal with the consequences.
This is too bad. Petraeus is a very smart man.

Well, at least he had the integrity to resign, rather than drag his office through the muck.
Depressing. I had great respect for the guy.

Goddamnit. American puritanical views on sex again cost us good leaders.
Ridiculous. His private life is separate from his professional.

Probably did it because of General Forceful von BlowJob getting into trouble. He doesn't want to be next. Probably going to be a lot of young ladies coming forward with lurid tales from the upper echelons soon

Wonder if his wife is going to run an ad in the NY Post saying:
"General Betray-us? No. General Betray-me!"

I like how we expect humans to not act like humans in this country.

Everyone from the WH is saying he was not asked to step down and I can believe it. I don't think he had to resign, but he decided to and that's fine.
