The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee charged that the Obama administration is hiding behind the undefined term “intelligence community” in deflecting blame for the Benghazi attack.
“I want a comprehensive timeline showing all the documents, all the cable traffic, all e-mails, all the conversations held leading up to September 11th, and what happened on September 11th, as to why they concluded this was caused by a pornographic video, and arose out of a demonstration when there was no demonstration, and in fact, the video had no impact. What information they got after that caused, which them to change their mind,” said Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) on Fox.
“They’re throwing out this term, ‘the intelligence community.’ I want to know who that is. I want to know — if there were mistakes made, I who made them? I want to find out why the president didn’t ask questions.”
The chairman said President Obama’s defense at the debate tonight will likely by “unacceptable.”
“It’s not just an amorphous group called the intelligence community,” King said. “For instance, the State Department itself had people on the scene in Benghazi that night. Did Susan Rice speak to them? Did the president find out what they saw that night?”

Benghazi was all about a disgusting film:
0BAMA CHOSE to watch a MUSLIM SNUFF FILM rather than a HEROIC AMERIAN RESCUE FILM!
This is the only King before whom The Zero won’t bow.
I’ve wanted to know how any “intelligence” community or agency can come up with an imaginary “protest” that never happened.
Sounds racist!
Of course the bad things that happened were Bush’s and Romney’s fault.
And when Obama gives you the face palm, what are you going to do Rep. King? Nothing. That’s what.
Romney must ask Obama this question tonight: Precisely which intel agency told him it was a Mohammed video protest that “got out of hand”?
It’s time to pin down this slippery lying eel of a president.
Debate rules prevent either candidate from asking direct questions of the other.
Gen. Patreaus is head of the CIA which IS our Intelligence and Patreaus said it was the MOVIE!! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT he has turned out to be!!
There are still Patriots in the ‘intel community’ who WILL leak out the truth of this because they are PISSED beyond belief.
“I think he really means “you people”.
Thank you for giving me a “ha-ha” of my day.
The first rule of debates is.. there are no rules. :)
Obama’s community is the Stupidity Community.
Well, at least Obugger won’t be asking “Do you know who I am??”
Or maybe we could get f’in Kerry to slip one in there..
Well, the State Department might have had the cover of Petraus.
He came out for Shaira before this Libyan incident happened and the excuse for the murder, a jihadist protest over free speech, fit his anti-constitutional agenda.
There is something seriously wrong with the CIA because they are wrong over and over again on big things. They are infiltrated by pinkos who are disloyal or being dominated by a leftist ideology of anti-American political correctness. Like the State Department.

Truer words have never been spoken. If folks knew who staffed agencies like CIA, NSA, etc etc they would think it would be patriotic Americans, wanting to keep America safe and destroy all enemies, but they would disappointed and sadly mistaken.
Yes, Gen. Petraus has some explaining to do. His own field agent said it was terrorism within 24 hours of the attack. But by the time it got out of the DC bureaucracy, it was that movie that was the cause of all the problems.
It would be very sad to see the General retire with this stuff hanging over him. Kind of like Zidane (the French soccer star who was ejected for head-butting an Italian in his farewell game, the World Cup final).
But the facts must be exposed, regardless. And BTW, Petraeus' counter-insurgency strategy worked well in Iraq but has been a failure in the much less-educated, tribal warlord society of Afghanistan.
