FORMER ARMY GEN. PETRAEUS PLOT THICKENS

 
Former Army Gen. David Petraeus resigned as director of the CIA after admitting he was having an extra-marital affair with Paula Broadwell who was the author of the book, "All In," on Petraeus.


However, late reports indicate there is another woman involved. Jill Kelly, who originally received the emails from Broadwell, has surfaced and speculation is she also was having an affair with Petraeus.


Adding to the plot, Petraeus recently went to Tripoli, Libya, home of the U.S. embassy in Libya, to investigate what happened when U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed on September 11, 2012 when the compound in Benghazi, Libya was attacked by terrorists.


According to Bob Woodward, Washington Post managing editor and famous for uncovering with Carl Bernstein the cover-up that led to President Richard Nixon resigning, Petraeus had found there were no ties to the Obama White House in the tragedy that took place in Benghazi, Libya.


Petraeus was scheduled to testify before Congress on his findings this Thursday, but because he resigned from his post as director of the CIA it is not clear whether he will be called.


Fox News doesn't know whether to "S..T" or go blind because Petreaus was their darling during the Bush administration and the Iraq war when Petreaus was the author of "the surge" credited with driving Al Qaeda out of Iraq.
