General Petraeus Resigns His Position as the CIA Director After His Affair With Biographer Paula Broadwell

It's Unfortunate that such a situation occurred especially to a decorated war hero like General Petraeus.

Even though General Petraeus resigns, never forget the accolades of achievements that General Petraeus had achieved in his military career:

According to Wikipedia:

David Howell Petraeus (pronunciation:/p?'tre?.?s/; born November 7, 1952) is an American former military officer and public official. He served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from September 6, 2011,[2] until his resignation on November 9, 2012.[3] Prior to his assuming the directorship of the CIA, Petraeus was a four-star general serving over 37 years in the United States Army. His last assignments in the Army were as commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) from July 4, 2010, to July 18, 2011. His other four-star assignments include serving as the 10th Commander, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) from October 13, 2008, to June 30, 2010, and as Commanding General, Multi-National Force - Iraq (MNF-I) from February 10, 2007, to September 16, 2008.[4] As commander of MNF-I, Petraeus oversaw all coalition forces in Iraq.[5][6]

Petraeus has a B.S. degree from the United States Military Academy, from which he graduated in 1974 as a distinguished cadet (top 5% of his class). He was theGeneral George C. Marshall Award winner as the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College class of 1983.[7] He subsequently earned anM.P.A. in 1985 and a Ph.D. degree in International Relations in 1987 from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He later served as Assistant Professor of International Relations at the United States Military Academy and also completed a fellowship at Georgetown University.[8]

Petraeus has repeatedly stated that he has no plans to run for elected political office.[9][10][11][12] On June 23, 2010, President Barack Obama nominated Petraeus to succeed General Stanley McChrystal as commanding general of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, technically a step down from his position as Commander of United States Central Command, which oversees the military efforts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, andEgypt.[13][14][15]

On June 30, 2011, Petraeus was unanimously confirmed as the next Director of the CIA by the U.S. Senate 94-0.[16] Petraeus relinquished command of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan on July 18, 2011, and retired from the U.S. Army on August 31, 2011.[17] On November 9, 2012, General Petraeus resigned from his position as Director of the CIA, citing an extramarital affair that was reportedly discovered in the course of an FBI investigation.[18]

General Petraeus Resigns, but he is still a Prolific and a very Distinguished General!

Yes, he did make a huge mistake by having an affair with his biographer. I am definitely not condoning this behavior. However, as the incredible General that he is, he has taken the full responsibility, guilt, and made the decision to resign as the Director of the CIA.

Yes, General Petraeus Resigns, but he still had served his country with incredible distinction!

Even though General Petraeus resigns, he should still be remembered for his many phenomenal accolades of achievement that had performed for this country and not this one mistake. I guess it is true when they say, bad news sale. Unfortunately, for his case, this is selling worldwide and is making headline news everywhere.
