Now don't you find that the title of the biography that General Pantsoff's biographer put out is just a little over the top?
All In.
Indeed!
Knowing now what we know, (the "known knowns" as it were) does that not seem like some kind of inside joke?
But the joke is on the jokers.
The greater pity is that General Petraeus will forever be remembered as the guy who boned his biographer. The fact that she was a hottie twenty years his junior just adds a little zempf to the story.
What General Patraeus should be remembered for is his leadership. He lead not one but two bullshit wars in his leadership career. All along he proved himself a stellar bullshitter who could convince the chain of command and the higher ups and congress and the ever-fawning media that things were going swimmingly, thank you very much; "...while I blush to say so, I am in fact the genius you've made me out to be."
Iraq is an ongoing catastrophe for the benighted Iraqis who are stuck there.
Afghanistan will be returned to the Taliban as soon as the last ISAF/NATO contingent is chased out by the Afghan troops they are supposedly training.
That is General Petraeus' legacy.
Anybody can fuck their biographer.
It takes a special sort of American hero to fuck two countries.
