Broadwell: Petraeus Knew of Benghazi Plea for Help
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/11/2012 | Gil Ronen

Posted on 11/12/2012 10:43:50 AM PST by mojito

Military expert Paula Broadwell, who was allegedly improperly involved with resigned CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, confirmed in October that the CIA annex in Benghazi asked for reinforcements when the consulate came under attack on September 11....

Broadwell was speaking at her alma mater, the University of Denver, on October 26. Her lecture, which is on YouTube under the title "Alumni Symposium 2012 Paula Broadwell," now has added value, because based on the recent disclosures, it can now be assumed that she indeed knew exactly what it was that Petraeus knew about the attack.

Broadwell confirmed the reports on Fox News that the CIA annex asked for a special unit, the Commander in Chief's In Extremis Force, to come and assist it. She also said that the force could indeed have reinforced the consulate, and that Petraeus knew all of this, but was not allowed to talk to the press because of his position in the CIA.

[....]

"They were requesting the – it's called the C-in-C's In Extremis Force – a group of Delta Force operators, our very, most talented guys we have in the military. They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex. Now, I don't know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back. It's still being vetted.

"The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus is that in his new position, he's not allowed to communicate with the press. So he's known all of this – they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening."

Dude! Get a grip.

She’s a journalist; a card-carrying member of the media. She won’t even save her life it meant for Obamugabe being defeated.

I call MAJOR scapegoat BS on this whole Petraeus thing!

Hey, look over here instead of at Obama!

When did Obama issue his directive...this is monumentally key to Benghazi, but NO one is asking the question!

Besides, I can't tell if Broadwell is "guilty" or not!

Just an observation. It’s kinda odd...someone who has zero journalism experience....gets picked up and approved to be embedded with the big general? Go back and look at day one, and she was some military intellectual who had a number of college degrees and a number of years in the military...nothing else. And she starts reporting for the New York Times?

This is like me getting picked by CNN to be a White House correspondent starting tomorrow morning, or you getting picked up to be a starting catcher for the New York Yankees.

There’s more to this whole story.

Broadwell hasn't helped the old boy out here when she says he knew within 24 hours ..... plus, since she is part of the 'sex scandal', the media is reporting what she said, even the Benghazi-related info. So, the question remains:

Why, three days after this terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, did Petraeus go before the House Intelligence Committee and brief lawmakers that a Youtube video was to blame for a “spontaneous” protest — wholly fictitious — that “went on,” as ranking Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger told ABC on September 14 following the Petraeus briefing, “for two to three hours”?

Sure..she’s going to speak in public about this....classified information from the Director of the CIA, ....two weeks before a presidential election. NOT!

I know that 50% of the population are DUmmies, but the rest of us can see right through this.

Are you sure about that? Could it be possible she was framed? ;-)

Youtube has taken it down. I didn't find anything with that search. Whether it was YouTube or Paula Broadwell herself, I don't know.

I did find this excerpt of her talk:

“Paula Broadwell spilling secret CIA information”

Ha, ha! She was framed alright. But I have seen a photo and going by the usual FR criteria—what was he thinking?!! Oh My!

Like my wife says, if you’re going to fool around it better be with a Super Model!!!

” - - - she said. “The fact that came out today is that the ground forces there at the CIA annex, which is different from the consulate, were requesting reinforcements.

“They were requesting the – it’s called the C-in-C’s In Extremis Force – a group of Delta Force operators, our very, most talented guys we have in the military. They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex. Now, I don’t know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back. - - - - .”

Out of the mouth of this smoking-hot BABE, comes THE smoking gun - - - .

Thank you for your “service”, Doctor ‘Petticoat’ Paula.

LET THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS OF BENGHAZI-COWARD OBAMA BEGIN!
