Has hasn't?

So the prez doesn't do most intel briefings or talk to his CIA chief? How negligent can a manget? Why would a prez whose press sec claims didn't know about Broadwell and Petraeus until November 8 or so, avoid talking with his CIA chief during and after an attack on a US mission and CIA annex? What was he avoiding?

Does the US really want someone with so little critical thinking skills as Secretary of State?

What a laughingstock this country is.

General Betray Us must have been busy thinking of his mistress when the talking points were changed to reflect that a dubbed video caused some angry Muslims in Libya to murder a US Ambassador and to launch an attack on Petraeus’ guys and to kill some of them. Did he watch them die on Live feed from Benghazi?

So, the MSM-lib preemptive talking point is that Petraeus would lie!?! How did they know what he was going to say? lol

Pat Caddell called it. Do you believe it yet?

Pat Caddell slams the media: They have become an “enemy of the people” Sept. 29, 2012(video 26:00)

Emotional Pat Caddell on the MSM ignoring Benghazi: “These people have no honor!” Oct. 27, 2012 (video at link 4:06)

The Media will not report the truth!

If the prez wasn’t talking with him or the white house he would have no way of knowing what had been edited out of the cia report until the version the white house is using gets released or leaked.

Right after Petraeus’ testimony:

Peter King (committee chair) would not comment on the aspect of who called for back-up and who denied cross-border support for the 41 Americans in Benghazi.

It seems to me that if Petraeus exonerated Obama, that King would come forward with that story, or the dems in the room would.

Now, if Petraeus said Obama left those Americans to die at the hands of terrorists, then that information would be handled in a very special way. It would not be leaked by the Dems, and the republicans would have to have several meetings on what to do with it.

THIS IS A CASE OF THE DOG (DEMS) NOT BARKING!

The law now requires the CIA Director to report his agency's activities to the DNI.

I don't think this so-called president does much of anything at all (especially in the foreign policy and national security realm) other than bloviate in front of a teleprompter on occasion.

It's well-known in Washington circles that Valerie Jarrett is doing the bulk of the heavy lifting on this guy's behalf.

Maybe they knew an out of the loop black spokesperson would get better treatment when lying than a white.

The pres said to blame him not Rice. I’m down for that. A confession is a confession. He not only set her up to lie, but he himself lied for 14 days afterwards, blaming the video.

Rather interesting. They can't let Fox have the spot lite.

What does the general have to say about this, since he testified that he knew it was a terrorist attack?

Perhaps we will find the general putting a lot of hours in at the Congress in the days to come.

I’ll bet the filmmaker knows who started this cover story. That’s probably why he’s jailed for a year. So he doesn’t talk.


That was clear as soon as the cops carted him away. With his head covered, no less.
