Why is Petreus briefing the GOP House Conference? Didn't he retire?

From Breaking News:

House GOP Conference to get Iraq briefing with Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Robert Ford, former Ambassador to Syria .

He retired from the Army in 2011, got fired from the CIA in 2012 for his adulterous affair....
did he take some other job?

And, Kerry ramps up his rhetoric..

Secretary of State John Kerry calls ISIS 'a terrorist army that threatens not only Iraq but every country in the region' -
in his video commnets after Nato meeting this am.

1. I can feel the pot beginning to boil again no matter what they say. I think this will

creep along as it possibly morphs into something far larger. I hope not, but it's just my gut feeling. I was surprised too when several days ago I heard Petraeus's name being prevalent again.

2. Pretty sure a conference can call 'qualified' speakers. Of course they'd call someone who says

what they want to hear.

4. GOPers shamed into resignation, just "go away" for a brief time, and them re-emerge

cleansed of all sins, and restored to their proper place on their pedestal..

Unless GOP-ers steal money. their reputations & standing in the party are in no danger..

They do not have the "shame gene"..

5. As a matter of fact, I just found this, dated yesterday..

After resigning in disgrace from the Central Intelligence Agency himself amid an affair with a writer,
Petraeus has been slowly stepping back into the spotlight;
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., recently recommended that President Barack Obama bring him back to the national security team,
and he also recently appeared at a conference in London where he has weighed in on Iraq, immigration policy and more.

6. Petraeus is like a barely less shameful version of Dick Cheney.
