Note to self… If you work around some of the best investigators in the world; don’t do stuff that will cause you to lose your job and hope no one finds out.

 

From what I have read of Petraeus I doubt he blames anyone but himself.

No one can expose "what you've done" if you haven't done it. Petraeus was brought down by his own actions. He did things that exposed himself, and his country, to potential blackmail. He did great things as a military commander and stupid things as a man. DaveTN is correct, he blames himself and rightly so.

 

To claim he was brought down by someone else is to deny the personal responsibility of our actions. That is a liberal concept that I do not accept.

Put your skeptic glasses on for this book guys. The authors do not have direct access or even indirect access to the information they claim to know. There are a lot of assumptions made here regarding who knew what and when they knew it. Even the most high level folks in the community (who aren't going to risk their security clearance leaking information to these two guys for a book) would not have access to some of this info, which makes me very suspicious. I think some of their "sources" may be leading on more than they actually know, and I think these two authors are aware of that on some level, but hey, sensationalism sells and they are clearly marketing a product here. Like I said, put you skeptic glasses on when you read this and you'll see what I'm talking about.

They may have ousted him, but they sure weren't the ones that forced him to get with that girl... He's a grown man and made his own decisions.

Not to be crass but it is the old 'screwing you get for the screwing you got'  karma..

PapaB hit the nail on the head: 

 

"To claim he was brought down by someone else is to deny the personal responsibility of our actions. That is a liberal concept that I do not accept."  AMEN PapaB!

It's and age old truth; you reep what you sow. He sowed disloyalty he reeped disloyalty.
