Petraeus agrees to testify to Congress

lcam writes: The events surrounding the 4 star general and his considerably high level public resignation is a demonstration of a very neat execution of a strategic scenario.

Generals make decisions that give the strategic upper hand as part of their training. This very public issue surrounding Petraeus should be more closely examined in that light; I am amazed about how his resignation combined with a public statement has caused the reaction it did.

This is one very very clever man. I applaud him. I am curious about what he expected to gain from the all of this.

The summary makes no sense.

What does that have to do with the story and how can this public scandal be seen as anything other than a huge embarassment for everybody involved? There was no strategy here by any means.

Unfortunately he can not be trusted

Anyone that can violated an oath to a spouse can just as easily violate an oath to his country.
