This idiot Petraus wound up making a fool of himself in Tampa thanks to a bunch of idiot socialites who fashioned themselves Mata Hari, save that they were simply trying to use secrets to become rich and famous. It takles a very special sort of idiot to actually earn consistent ridiclue in a city that provides so much fodder for the tabloids.

Normally I would not quote Fox News, but note how even THEY dare not polish the mess.

So, this tampa Boy would NOT trust Petraus judgement on where to get a decent Cuban Sandwich in Tampa. Actually, no where on Bayshore Blvd (the rich place where he did his work, think of a cheap house being about 2 million) has good Cubans, save the Publix. It does NOT surprise me that he reveals just how follish he was. And to think, if not for a bunch of would be Mata Haris, he would still be in charge, getting primed as a GOP prez in 2016, and probably kill a LOT of people in the process.
