"There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another...All human experience teaches that methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim." ~ Emma Goldman

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.
