"But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." ~ Declaration of Independence

Petraeus is going to fall on his sword. and save his ass? Why? 1) because he is not the honorable, patriotic man he is being made out to be, 2)mhe has his family to think of, reduce their grief and protect as much of his income as possible, 3) [o]bama thugs have more fabricated lies to put out on him if he doesn't follow orders and 4) it is part of the human condition to protect the self above all else.
