The resignation of David Petraeus has come only few days after Obama's reelection . This does indicate , there will be no place for warmongers in the Washington as long as Obama is in Office. Obama has repeatedly rejected the idea of going to War with Iran to solve the Nuclear Issue while Mr . Petraeus was pushing for Military action . Its good such warmonger is no more as the head of CIA . I guess , more resignations are in pipeline in the days ahead .

My consiracy theory angle on this...

Petraeus had no affair. He knew too much about Benghazi and got scared, so he plea bargained to leave the CIA under the cover of a personal issue that most of the media would accept at face value. By being a private citizen again he can invoke the 5th Amendment and not have to testify before Congress about what happened at the consulate.

I fully believe GEN Petraeus feared for his life and the safety of his family and scapegoated himself.

BINGO!

There have been too many high-level guys that have been dismissed in the past few months. For some reason, I think there was a "Seven Days In May" thing going on, in which these guys at the top were possibly planning a coup against the current administration, and they were outed.

Benghazi may just be a red herring so that people don't realize how ready people in the military are to turn on their Commander-In-Chief.

Something isn't adding up about these generals and commanders either being removed or resigning. As far as "Warmongering", Obama had no trouble with keeping us overseas, no trouble renovating Guantanamo, and he just loves the idea of drones bombing the bejeezus out of people.

One high level guy, I could maybe buy the story. But more than one (now encompassing General Allen as well), I smell a coup. JMHO.
