WTF?

I go online today only to find the news everywhere that ONE WEEK before he is slated to testify before congress on Benghazi, CIA director David Patraeus has resigned. The word is that the famous general turned director of central intelligence walked into the West Wing today and tendered his resignation because of an extramarital affair, and the president accepted that resignation. Umm, may I say... WTF?

First off, the Democrat Party doesn't force anybody to resign over affairs, that we already know. Secondly, the White House had to know this was coming before election day, and this is two days after news broke that Iranian missles were shot at one of our drones over the Gulf 5 days before voting day.

FOX News is now reporting that this resignation does in fact mean he will not be called to testify. My question is, why the hell not? Congress, in this case the Senate, has the power to subpoena any living soul within US juridstriction. Harry Reid is CLEARLY involved here. By the way, the DOJ leaked that Holder is stepping down asap as well. And Hillary has already flatly said she won't be part of a second term.

So let me get this straight, the man with the most direct knowledge of Fast and Furious - GONE. The woman with the most direct knowledge of Benghazi - GONE. Iran fires on a US drone - HIDDEN. And now the man who is unquestionably in a position to enlighten the rest of us on all three (to varying degrees) is also now - GONE. Okay, nothing fishy there. Please allow me a second, WTF?

Most disturbing to me is how plausible the Patraeus conspiracy theory, that I immediately jumped to, seems. Axelrod, et al, find a chink in the Patraeus armor, an affair. He is instructed to tow the administration line on Benghazi or risk exposure. He tells the administration to piss off, prefering to face personal shame rather than bring dishonor to the sacrafice of 4 dead Americans.

To my 60 million Obama-voting fellow Americans I offer today's third and final, WTF?
