Woman Linked to Petraeus Is a
West Point Graduate and
Lifelong High Achiever

The New York Times, by Michael D. Shear

Original Article

Posted By:ConservativeYankee, 11/10/2012 1:14:44 AM

Paula Broadwell, whose affair with the nation’s C.I.A. director led to his resignation on Friday, was the valedictorian of her high school class and homecoming queen, a fitness champion at West Point with a graduate degree from Harvard, and a model for a machine gun manufacturer. Paula Broadwell, who wrote a biography of David H. Petraeus, moved into public view on Friday after an affair with Mr. Petraeus was uncovered. It may have been those qualities — and a string of achievements that began in her native North Dakota, where she was state student council president, an all-state

High achiever - but not a lick of common sense. Led around by her lady-parts.

Probably one of those people with high technical prowess but low, underdeveloped emotional intelligence. Common sense tells anyone you don´t betray your husband and kids and get into an affair like this just for the thrill of it.

Now her reputation as an objective historian is ruined. She can spend the rest of her life as tabloid fodder. Just ask Miss Lewinsky.

Looks like we already know more about her than the pretender-in-chief.

Some extraordinary investigative journalism we have in this country that within minutes of Patraus´ resignation the "other" party involved is identified. Does anyone else beside me find this interesting.
All this in light of little barry sotereo or whatever his name is still a ´blank´ on his history.

1. More coverage of him/her/this than of, not just Benghazi, but the slew of Muslim 9/11 attacks on the US this year.

2. In a few days we know 100 times more about her than we yet know about Stinky after years.

Not that that means anything. Right?

So sad... for all involved ... even America...

When first in DC, realized a woman could not be successful in marriage, children, and work... only two of three were possible...

Too bad she didn´t chose marriage and children...

#9, agree wholeheartedly.

This woman is a high achiever, and does have a fantastic resume, as others here have said. Too bad she is without honor or integrity (betraying her marital vows, and perhaps in trying to access the General´s e-mail).

MY WIFE’S LOVER

My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort. My issue: Should I acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed? Should I be “true to my heart” and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the episode behind me? NAME WITHHELD


The fact that you’re willing to accept your wife’s infidelity for some greater political good is beyond honorable. In fact, it’s so over-the-top honorable that I’m not sure I believe your motives are real. Part of me wonders why you’re even posing this question, particularly in a column that is printed in The New York Times.

Remarkable #12, changes the whole perspective of this and deflates the conspiracy balloon. If the husband knew, everyone knew, did´t take the FBI to uncover this. To me its quite sad, really, that these successful, driven two people have never found love and loyalty. Nothing new, of course, just sad.

No, not led around by her "lady parts". How simplistic men are.

She was driven. An achiever. Petraeus was another achievement. Another trophy.

She was driven to an affair with him because she realized it was possible, that this powerful man could be had.

And when she was finished with him, she dumped him.

It´s interesting that she had a Twitter campaign going against Drudge´s contention that Romney might shoose Petraeus as his running mate.

She is a Democrat.

All of her accomplishments and yet, she has to stoop to the lowest of the low, going with a married man - if you admire the man, if you respect him, how can you actually be a party to destroying him? It seems more like a conquest thing, a notch on her belt.

Some way to celebrate their collective birthdays. They were both born on Nov 9th, 20 years apart. That would be a couple Scorpios attracted to each other´s drive and ambition without thinking of their spouse.

The oldest game in the world... a democrat entices an opposition hero, gets the dirt on him then dumps him. Obama holds his card over Petraeus head until the inevitable objections came... then making the man lie to congress.

High achiever, huh, with her pants down around her ankles underneath an office desk? This wanton, unscrupulous, careerist named Broad-well, gives whores a bad name. As for Petraeus, a preening careerist type barely intelligent enough to know a good idea when he sees one, but always too pretentious to offer attribution, we should expect this kind of boorish behavior out of him for he has always served the interests of the Boston-Beltway cocktail circuit rather than that of the Constitutional Republic.

Charlotte is an unlikely home for Paula Broadwell, a counterterrorism expert and world traveler who relished being embedded with combat troops in Afghanistan to research her biography of Gen. David Petraeus. But Broadwell moved here more than three years ago with her husband, Scott, a radiologist, and their two young sons, Landon and Lucien, because it was her husband’s turn to pick. “We made an agreement when we first got married that every other move would be the other person’s,” she told the Observer in an interview earlier this year.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
