Honey Pot? :biggrin: Apparantly Dem Presidents need the same rule, right? Wasn't that NJ Jersey governor having a homosexual affair with an Israeli intelligence agent? (Not Christie! No one wants to picture that.)

Report: Petraeus will not testify on Libya attack
By Carlo Muñoz - 11/09/12 05:08 PM ET

Hours after CIA Director David Petraeus officially resigned as the nation's top spy, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee excused the former four-star general from testifying on the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya.

His departure comes barely a week before he was scheduled to testify about the assault in closed-door sessions with the intelligence committees of the Senate and House of Representatives. Morell was expected to take his place, congressional aides said.

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.

Petraeus’s resignation letter says, “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair.” But Petraeus has actually been married for more than 38 years; the wedding was on July 6, 1974. In other words, if you read the resignation letter carefully, he’s telling you that this happened sometime between July 2011 and July 2012, not recently. Why didn’t he resign sooner? Or, on the flip side, why didn’t he try to hang on longer if he’d held on this long already?

Questions?

38 years is "over 37 years" which also means "more than."

Thx for that clarification....what would we do without you.

Interesting observation LGOPT. I generally refer to my most recently surpassed year when describing the length of my marriage.....but that's just me.

Just a wild guess here. Maybe his affair finally came to light and he had no choice?
