Petraeus lied the first time. Obama gave lies to Susan Rice to tell to the American people.
Petraeus confirmed that the White House had the information that the Embassy Attack was terrorism.
Informed Speculation:
1. Obama knew that his CIA Chief was having an affair. He was at risk and could be used. This an almost certain fact. No way in the world that info would be kept from the President.
2. Obama supplied weapons to rebels in Libya when they were overthrowing Quaddafi. Turns out, those rebels were Al Queda. Oops. This is now public knowledge.
3. Those rebels began supplying arms to rebels in Syria.
4. The big unknown. Something very bad was happening or about to happen in Libya. Likely, TONS of US weapons were being shipped to Syria out of Libya.
5. Obama sent Ambassador Stevens to lead a CIA team to get the US weapons back.
6. The CIA “may” have been capturing and interrogating prisoners in the CIA annex in Benghazzi.
7. The US got double-crossed in some sort of arms deal or agreement. Not sure what it was.
8. Al Queda rebels attacked the Consulate, then the CIA annex. They were likely looking for prisoners that the US had taken. Depending on #4 and #6, they were also looking to get the Ambassador/CIA lead.
9. Whatever it was, it was bad enough Obama thought it would cost him the election. So they made up the ridiculous “video” cover story and stalled and lied as long as they could. He allowed Americans to die instead of tring to rescue them in order to “keep the lid” on the situation.
10. The Obama Administration will continue to lie and cover this up. The Main Stream Media will aid and abet the coverup.
Your points parallel what I have been thinking about the Benghazi debacle, with minor alternatives (I think stingers and/or blow-pipe missiles were the big concern and that Obama was panicked that our distribution of same to Islamic militants was going to surface pre-election). I usually don’t go for conspiracy theories, because people generally aren’t smart or disciplined enough to pull them off. But all this, including the video and the Petraeus resignation, sure has the feeling of pieces of a larger picture, deliberately hidden.
It’s hard to believe that CIA had nothing to do with the creation of the anti-MO video, and possibly its dissemination, but at the very least prior knowledge of it.
Was the video a operation gone awry?
An operation that worked at least partially as someone intended?
Is the Petraeus infidelity a distracting cover story for ousting him for letting it happen, and concealing government involvement? Or for not going along with the video story the admin wanted?
The Khawam sisters’ White House connections are too convenient; players or grifter/wannabees?
