WASHINGTON -- Gen. David Petraeus has been rushed from a Senate hearing room.
Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Petraeus had finished answering a question by Sen. John McCain. McCain was responding when the senator stopped talking suddenly and aides began crowding around Petraeus.
Petraeus, walking without assistance, was then escorted quickly out of the room. His spokesman could not be immediately reached.

This makes it sound like he was responding to a terrorist attack on U.S. soil or something
He passed out at the witness table during the hearing.

He thought John McCain wanted to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" with HIM...

He must have been sitting with his elbows locked. How many times do they tell you "don't lock your elbows"?
