Rep. Peter King appeared on Fox News this morning and stated that David Petraeus testified that the original CIA talking points about Benghazzi indicated it was a terrorist act and cited al Qaeda involvement. Somewhere after leaving CIA, the talking points were changed. He did not know who changed them.
btw, Rep King met the Kelley’s at British Embassy Party in DC.
Uh, what were they doing there?
In my opinion, this was EXACTLY why she was chosen to be sent out spouting the video/spontaneous lie. Hillary, old fox that she is, said "nuh uh, not me Bucko". Rice, being female and ESPECIALLY black, was the one chosen - I'm sure Axelrat/Jarrett were probably in on that decision & I'm betting they took a pencil to the CIA 'talking points' as well. Gender/race played out with Obama going all 'macho' defending the poor girl's political virtue and yesterday when one of the black lawmakers was talking to Chrissy Tingle Matthews, he made a point of bringing up & emphasizing that she was African American. Obozo gets a pass on everything because of his 'tan' .... Rice won't get a total pass, but the 'race/female' issue will be thrown around enough to muddy the water somewhat.
Nothing happens at the White Hut unless President Batface (ValJar) approves it. She is the POTUS. Bathhouse Barry works for her! They should subpoena her arse. Make them refuse the subpoena to her, make them declare Executive Privilege. Put it on the record. She needs to be held accountable!
“Petraeus testifies CIA’s Libya talking points were changed, lawmaker says”
“Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified in a closed-door hearing Friday morning that his agency determined immediately after the Sept. 11 Libya attack that “Al Qaeda involvement” was suspected — but the line was taken out in the final version circulated to administration officials, according to a top lawmaker who was briefed.
...Petraeus’ testimony both challenges the Obama administration’s repeated claims that the attack was a “spontaneous” protest over an anti-Islam video, and according to King conflicts with his own briefing to lawmakers on Sept. 14...”
The liberal media must really be scrambling to figure out how to report avoid reporting this. It will be interesting to see how it gets twisted or hidden with something else.
Not only was the line taken out..but something else had to have been added to blame it on the video.
Have they asked the questions yet: when did you find out? who told you? what information did you receive from the people in Benghazi? Was there a specific request for assistance? Did you look at offering assistance in any event, knowing that your people and other Americans were under a significant and sustained attack by well armed terrorists? Did you communicate with the military leadership, State Department or the White House? Did you ask for assistance? What direction if any came from the White house. State or the military as to what should be done? Were you made aware of the President’s order that “everything possible” be done to protect the people in Benghazi? What did you do to follow out this order. if it was in fact made?
The video story is a distraction. It deals with the cover up, but we need to know what is being covered up? The simple questions are: what did the President know, when did he know it, and what did he do with that knowledge? To me, this is what is being covered up.
What he was spouting had the other three almost ready to come off their seats and punch his lights out.
In other words, he was parsing things for his home boy bozo. He was the authority on there that KNEW what Petraeus says or means to say. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Of course he had to tell us about all his (in my opinion) traitorous activity in Afghanistan and how he knew Petraeus so well, great General. BUT!!!,
I will never forget how Whore boy drew maps in the sand for the enemy and then HE was FORCED out by the military.
Petraeus said that the briefing points were changed thru an interagency process and did not consider that to be that significant at the time. Petraeus is part of the smokescreen pointing fingers elsewhere and giving excuses and outright lies for his own behavior.
Hopefully the Republicans on the panel will ask the right questions and force him off that line.

What do you think the fallout around the world would be if we were to learn the Obama adm. planned the attack?
None of this matters until he is under oath..which he isn’t right now

I am hoping by the Sunday shows the left is back to calling the General ‘Be-tray-us’. That means he is telling the truth.
DCI doesn’t report to SecSt. The only people who would have been able to do this are Clapper, Brennan, or Donilon. My guess is Brennan. He’s an arabphile of very long standing, back to his undergrad days at Rose Hill. And I would expect once he received Petraeus’ assessment that he cooperated with Jarret to insulate Obama from the very real failure of the Libyan efforts.Given the haloed one’s detachment from governance and his total interest in only campaigning, I doubt Obama even questioned the assessment put before him. It was certainly Jarrett who sent Rice out that Sunday. Anyone else would have had to lie on five successive shows and an anchor like Wallace would have instinctively known he was being lied to. Rice knew only what she was told and had no reason to believe her friend Jarrett was using her. Her crime was taking these talking points and not asking questions of Jarrett and Brennan.
