Top commander under investigation
The Pentagon says that the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, is under investigation for alleged 'inappropriate communications' with woman linked to Petraeus scandal.

I feel a shake-up is underway. Anyone else?
Get the top people out of positions of authority, extend the Afghan mission, broaden it in others, and then blame the faults when they come on those besides those at the top since they've become adept at shifting blame. I'm sure there will be a speech starting with "My fellow Americans. Rest assured....blah..blah...blah, blame line, blame line, rest assured."
This is a big WTF moment in the American military and intelligence communities. My neck hair doesn't stand up often, but this one gets it a bit raised.
I'm already here, lets see what else can be tossed my direction.
Just my $.02

It appears that Obobblehead was blindsided by this. Just watched Carney's press conf.  I suspect some heads will roll in the FBI as well.
Hey! Has anybody checked Hillary's e-mails?

Is this someone cleaning out the house? It seems a bit odd to see this many General Officers getting nailed.

Pun intended?

Having spent a day or two on the interwebs, I would have to say that there is someone for everyone on the internet...
Case in point, the demotivational poster for black amputee toilet hardware handjob porn...
