I think Matt Drudge is right about this headline:

…and that is exactly what it is too. The more this comes out, the more I honestly have to wonder; who is running the Country?

Better yet, who is protecting the Country? Call me a bit paranoid; but if the people that are supposed to be the adults are carrying on like this; what the heck is everyone else doing?

Headlines on this story:

• Craig Whitlock / Washington Post: Petraeus investigation ensnares commander of U.S., NATO troops in Afghanistan
• Michael Daly / The Daily Beast: PAULA’S EMAILS REVEALED
• Wall Street Journal: FBI Agent in Petraeus Case Under Scrutiny
• Robert Wright / The Atlantic Online: The Real David Petraeus Scandal

• defense.gov: IMMEDIATE RELEASE  —  Statement by the Secretary of Defense on General John Allen
• Mike Allen / Politico: Gen. John Allen ensnared in Petraeus scandal

Oh, and by way, the way: Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! *wipes eyes and tries to breath.* Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 

So, yeah; this is a rather odd, and sometimes funny story.

Huge Blogger round up at Memeorandum

You know when your drudge siren goes off, and then your blog gets a trackback, something is huge.

Anyhow, here’s the tweet from Breaking News on twitter:

CIA Director David Petraeus submits letter of resignation, cites extra-marital affair – @msnbc broadcast

— Breaking News (@BreakingNews) November 9, 2012

Petraeus’s statement via Politico:

 

David Petraeus resigned his post as director of the Central Intelligence Agency on Friday, citing an extramarital affair.

Petraeus visited the White House on Thursday to ask President Barack Obama to accept his resignation “for personal reasons,” he said in a statement to CIA staff. “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.”

Speculation is running rampant as to why, and what, who and where. I’ll send you over to AllahPundit, he’s better at roundup than me.
