President Obama on Friday accepted the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus after the famed general confessed to an extramarital affair.
Observers are wondering whether Petraeus, author of the Iraq anti-insurgency strategy, was led to resign in the wake of the Benghazi consulate killings—whose victims included two men from San Diego County.
The CIA has been criticized for its intelligence about the attacks. Do you believe Petraeus on reason for resignation?
