(The Blaze) Fox News analyst Ralph Peters on Friday called the timing of Gen. David Petraeus' sudden resignation as CIA director "just too perfect for the Obama administration" and speculated that "tough Chicago guys" held onto knowledge of the affair until they needed to push the spy chief out.
Peters, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, said on Fox News that just as the administration initially called the assault on the Benghazi consulate on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks "purely coincidence," it's again "purely coincidence" for the affair to surface after the election but before Petraeus went to Capitol Hill for questioning about Benghazi. CIA Acting Director Michael Morell will now testify instead of Petraeus.
