My take of
the generals is a bit different from yours. I see all sorts of
circumstantial activity surrounding a feud between rival bonkers. David
Petraeus is a brilliant general and strategist. However, when
confronted with a pretty woman he falls to pieces. He comes across as a geek and
not a lover. While he can mastermind a war on several fronts, he goes all mealy
mouth and giddy when it comes to women.
John Allen appears to be
more practiced in the art of love. He must be with some 30,000 pages of
sexually explicit e-mails to his squeeze, the lovely Jill Kelly.
Reportedly, both John and David were entertaining her.
Jill is an unpaid
'social organizer' for the ranking officers and is likely collecting
trophies of her star-studded conquests.
Paula Broadwell is the
most sinister of the lot. She hung on Dave like white on snow and she was
jealous of her general. That is why she threatened Jill with e-mails which I
gather is the modern way of marking one's territory. Part II of he biography on
David will probably be x rated.
The husbands and wives
of this foursome are incidental to the main plot.
I am sure that David
will testify over the Benghazi hearings as he is remarkably good at it. He
is not intimidated by the likes of Senator Dianne Feinstein and her Senate
Intelligence Committee, although I bet he would blush at the site of women's
undergarments hanging out to dry.
Parallel to the
sexcapade is the Benghazi attack. David has already been reported to have a
clear view of both the true story and the White House version. The real drama
in all of this is which version will David ultimately admit to. Telling the
truth would put him seriously crosswise with Obama and Co. And it is
still important for David to maintain good relations with O and Co.
My call
here is that David will own up to the truth in all instances regardless of the
consequences. He will act to preserve his image and as a good West Point
graduate and will follow the code of honor on the night.
