| The Associated Press has now identified the "other woman" in the Petraeus scandal. She is 37-year old Jill Kelley of Tampa Bay, Florida. Kelley is the State Department´s liaison to the military´s Joint Special Operations Command, the AP reports, citing an unnamed official. A mutual acquaintance of Kelley and Petraeus confirms that they are friends. (Snip) Google searches suggest that Jill Kelley may be married to Dr. Scott Kelley of Tampa. The couple were featured in 2007 in Tampa Bay Magazine in the photo spread below (left):

If Broadwell ended her affair with Petraeus, why would she harrass his new fling? That still doesn´t make sense.

This is very tacky. David Petraeus´ behavior seems to have been appalling but these women need to take the blame too. They knew he was a married man with a family. The lack of responsibility of women in this whole scenario seems to be a stand-out feature.
It takes two to tango, whether on a dance floor or under a desk.

#7- if you read other articles about Broadwell and Petraeus you will see she met him in 2006 and had been pursuing a relationship with him all these years. Long before Obama was Pres or had any interest in Petraeus much less have any reason or the ability to set him up.

Been faithfully married 28 years, sure there is temptation out there, but as a mature adult you find a way to deal with it without breaking your marriage vows. This affair was known by many people for some time, it very convenient that this becomes ´news´ right before testimony in LybyaGate.

I still maintain that if all the time and effort mankind has spent "foolin´ around," we could have been colonizing Mars this year and off to Jupiter next year. Hey...but that´s life!!

When the career of golf´s top player and biggest star was in free fall in 2010, the brain trust of professional golf in the U.S. gathered in their Florida headquarters to contemplate life after Tiger Woods. Huddling with consultants from their Austin, Texas, advertising firm, senior executives at the PGA Tour tried to figure out how to persuade fans, sponsors and television networks to stay invested in a sport whose biggest draw had been disgraced.(Snip)Defying predictions, the post-Tiger collapse never happened, thanks to the rise of a flashy new crop of players.

Offered admission into several top colleges, she accepted a scholarship to UC San Diego, leaving behind the often rough, inner-city world of South Los Angeles. But on Thursday, Dashiell´s talent and promise were a distant, squandered memory as the 24-year-old sat handcuffed in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. After years of lying, she fully confessed to her role in a 2007 murder and, in a deal with prosecutors, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and attempted robbery.(Snip)Judge Michael Pastor sentenced

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
