Gen. Petraeus fined $100K for leaking classified info

[VtaGeezer]

BFD. He makes $130K per speaking job.  An enlisted man doing what he did would likely be doing hard time for a long time.

That's almost like suggesting there's a law for the rich; and a different one for the not so rich...Mister.

Thank your President for that little nugget. Obama sicked the NSA on the good general and uncovered a few dirty little secrets, which he promptly placed in his hip pocket for a rainy day. Well, that rainy came along and surprise surprise, Obama called his buddy at Justice and next thing ya know, Petraeus is cutting a sweetheart deal to keep his mouth shut about what he knows regarding Benghazi.

This is how our government works. Throw some parties, have some good looking women there, a few photos of men being men. And boom, you get conservatives raising spending, and liberals voting to reform welfare etc. Some may not need money, or may even not be able to be bought, but any man with a reputation, a family, will do anything to keep it. Including voting in ways that make so sense to those who elected them.

As for the sweetheart deal, thats everyone in Washington. Their whole lives are a sweetheart deal, hence why we need to limit time in any government office 10 years max. Once you serve 10 years at any level federal or state, you're out, bye bye. Get lost. And take your idiot law school friends with you. Enough career politicians.

Here we go again...
4 dead Americans in Benghazi...3 years of half-truth driven conservative hysteria.
5,000 dead Americans in Iraq from proven conservative lies and criminal orders...yawn.

The exact opposite of justice. He, being in high command, should be punished MORE than underlings who have committed similar crimes.

Now, granted there is always the risk of spilling more secrets which could be politically damning but we do have ways of silencing people. What is interesting to me, with all these Obama military purges, is why they haven't just used the information of sexual, financial, etc improprieties as blackmail and kept those people in power to do their bidding and/or silence their tongues?

Holy Hell. You're worse than even I suspected. I'll bet you were at Crawford ranch with Medea Benjamin, your pink handcuffs by your side, waving your Bush lied...people died sign. Or did you have the No blood for oil sign?

Well, we're still waiting for you and your moonbat ilk to produce all those lies that Bush allegedly told. Grow up. Get a new shtick, already.

Is that your excuse?  Quoting a Clinton press release for a few days of selected air strikes?  And you equate that to a full scale war that lasted longer than WWII, cost 5000 American lives, 50K wounded and maimed, minimally 100K dead Iraqi civilians, and cost the US over trillion dollars?  The conservative insanity continues.

As expected, you`re a fool and a sycophant. You merely parrot the same old tired BS you`ve been fed by your favorite moonbat stenographers pretending to be journalists. You`ve never been able to construct a cogent argument, because you CAN'T.

Idiots like you dishonor the brave folks -- some of which were friends of mine -- that gave their lives fighting in Iraq. Give it up. Get a new hobby.Hell,  Just go away.
