Second paragraph makes it seem like the General was removed from the room, returned to it, and he left again.

Source list does not include ABC's video from the top of USA Today page. "smiling and sipping from a cup" lifted directly from USA today language.

Yeah I've had similar experiences when I check my Outlook calendar and realize how many ninnies will be at the meeting. It's the only way out.

"Some people have speculated that Petraeus passed out because of McCain's questions, as the General slumped over while answering McCain."

PFFFFFFFFT.

Yes, the fearsome John McCain, who himself passed out while ASKING the questions! It was later determined to be because he had missed naptimes. Sen. McCain and his blankie could not be reached for comment.
