DECEPTION

How would you view deception in the Betraeus soap opera? In my book, it is a character flaw and that surprises me - the extent to which the general must have gone in order to keep his wife from knowing about his extra-marital affair. I would strip him of those stars if I had my way since this was happening on our payment of his livelihood -- just how much are four star generals paid anyway?

So he happens now to be the highest ranking male in the Loose Zipper Society. John Edwards eat your heart out, Oh maybe that isn't possible - you lost that figuratively, long ago.

But there is competition out there it seems for the top LZS position, we will just have to wait and see what all was in those thousands (!!!!) of email pages between General Allen and Kelley, maybe he will replace you quickly.

It is interesting that both women involved seem to be brainy brunettes, but with  numb and dumb streaks blended into their brilliance.

I am waiting for someone with enough nerve to suggest espionage by one or both females. Was Kelley born in the U.S. or Lebanon--- can't quite figure out from the information on websites that her parents emigrated here from there in mid seventies and she is thirty-seven.

And would you welcome someone who had never written a book ever to do your biography, such a smell. I wonder what hindsight Mrs. Petraeus has about that now, I hope she has the guts to dump her philandering spouse.

Another huge question --- are these men really keeping their eye on the ball regarding their military and government assignments? Afghanistan? CIA?  How can we hide doubts about that aspect of all this?
