I'm certain this has nothing to do with Benghazi. Certain.

The affair part is strange. If we're ok with SS and Senators consorting with foreign hookers, what's the problem?

Supposedly Petraeus personally briefed the administration that Benghazi was video/protest related AFTER the FBI and NSC had briefed congress that it was an organized terror attack.
Sure that's what he's getting at

Interesting the timing of this announcement; did that affair just commence since election day?

Gotta give that Chicago Machine credit.
In one fell swoop, they take out a possible GOP political star, and tarnish the guy in the event he ever sings about what really happened in Benghazi.

I doubt it does either, first off he isn't that gutless that he would accept responsibility for something he didn't do over an affair, and there is no way this set-up occurred in such a short period it would be a stupid unnecessary plan.
The fact is heterosexuals like women, men cheat when they are with hot chicks for a prolonged period of time and there is currently a war on heterosexuals in the military and the government.
If he sucked a dick he would be defended by Toddy and his crowd and welcomed to the land of diversity, adultery is against the law in the UCMJ, and the double standard only works for politicians.

Oh and then there's that Boeing layoff announcement yesterday - the pink slip warning letters went out a couple days after the election - just like the September agreement between Boeing and the White House said.

If he is not an active member of the administration, can Obama exert executive privilege over his testimony to oversight committees? Any chance Petraeus did this so he can tell the truth?

Petraeus: I'm going to resign and go public with all of this if you keep blaming us on Benghazi.
POTUS (or his people): You're going to keep your mouth shut until after November 6th. You think we don't know about Ms. Thing? You want to be prosecuted for misconduct and lose your pension and your good name. Try to play hardball with somebody NOT from Chicago next time. You can resign the Friday after the election. We'll let details of your "indiscretion" leak out, but otherwise we'll let it slide. Any other way and you're going down.
Petraeus: Yes, sir.
See how that works?
(This is why you never have to apologize or explain doing the right things all the time.)

It may have been with a subordinate and that is frowned on whether hetero or homo.

 Damn. If your "message board conspiracy theory guy" gig doesn't work out, you'll always have a future writing scripts for Hollywood.

Why step down for having an affair? He works for a Democrat President. I don't think having an affair would matter.

Not enough time yet to find out about the standards being applied to Homos, unless you think they are celibate and don't diddle in the work place
And the Clinton anomaly was mentioned above
