I thought Petraeus said (it was behind closed doors, I guess only the people in the room know)that we were trying not to let on that we knew that it was Al Quada , somehow to fake them out, to what end? Like there was going to be an immediate counter-strike? Where was it by October 15 ( five weeks after the fact) when the NYT had finally put together the umpteenth cover story that Green Footballs quotes? Can't take the stain out of Obama running off to Las Vegas as though nothing had happened; his reference to "bumps in the road;" (one is reminded of Braddock's final resting place courtesy of George Washington on the retreat from the disastrous battle of the Monongahela, 1755); nor overlook the fact that the Fort Hood shooting has been called "workplace violence" over the obviously pre-meditated terror attack it was. It has been Obama's trademark throughout his Presidency to refuse to call "the war against us, " "Moslem extremist terror." If you missed that , Green Footballs, then no wonder you have no idea what happened here either, so just shut up.
"David Petraeus’s testimony backing up everything the administration said."
"I thought Petraeus said (it was behind closed doors, I guess only the people in the room know)that we were trying not to let on that we knew that it was Al Quada , somehow to fake them out, to what end? Like there was going to be an immediate counter-strike?..."
And this spin runs completely contrary to the claim Obama and his minions were making after the second debate: That POTUS was saying all along that it was a terrorist attack ("Say it louder Candy!") from day one.
If the leftists are trying to argue that everything is hunky dory because Petraeus, or whoever, wanted to "tone down" the terrorist rhetoric, why would you have the president make a big Rose Garden speech the day after and claim that it was an "act of terror"? That would only amplify things- not tone them down (if we are to believe the president). Do Al-Qaeda members not watch TV, or have access to the Internet?... Hussein Obama can't have it both ways.
Fox News is reporting this afternoon that the WH is now saying that no one in the WH changed the CIA intel report. So we’ve added a ‘spontaneously changing intel memo’ to the ‘spontaneous protest turned riot’ to the long line of WH lies.
