Bill Thompson

Petraeus is another one.

You know, I briefed Petraeus.

I worked for not for him, but for people who work for him in Iraq.

And he was the guy that got us through with the surge.

But he was really a weird guy when you would talk to him like you knew that he knew something you didn't.

and that he was seeing things that you weren't.

But even for myself, as being like a chief warrant officer at that time, a low-level technician, he would ask questions like he got it.

He didn't act like other generals.

Like other generals would have their three things they want to talk about, then they'd want to get out of Dodge.

He would ask questions that really had implications.

And he is another one of these outsiders who came in to write a system that was not working vis-a-vis Iraq in 2006.

And then what happens to him when he leaves?

They put him in charge of the CIA.

They knew he had been screwing around with this woman.

And they're like, okay, he served his function.

Now he needs to get out of Dodge.

And now he's got tried for all these things and sleeping with someone while he wasn't married.

It's not a ceremonious end for these types.

Yeah, he was sleeping with some girl that was writing his book or something along those lines.

That's it?
