“If Petraeus is the man he appears to be, we’ll hear the truth.”

Here’s the only problem with that. But for Clapper, Petraeus might well have tried to gut it out. He thought his affair could be kept secret. Note that he didn’t bring it to light and resign because of a pang of conscience. He did so merely because he knew it was going to be publicized anyway, so the path of least resistance was to preemptively resign rather than be forced to resign through circumstances. Thus, he’s far less honorable than he might appear.

"Did Obama fail to send aid to Benghazi when the raid developed and our men asked for help?"

Of course! Now that Obama is firmly ensconced in his second term, there's no reason that he'd be playing "rope-a dope" as some leftists claim. He can tell the truth, freely, which he WON'T because it will expose what a lying sack of shit he really is. If the truth would have shown him as some kind of great leader, they would have used it in campaign ads.

Each and every one of these roads and "diversions" lead right to Obama himself.

Well, there have been a few pieces of this puzzle fall into place. The Kelley woman was just the local head of the Wounded Warrior project, not some unpaid State Dept social liaison. The FBI agent was a personal friend of Kelley’s with whom she had been exchanging emails and the emails that she was complaining about were in no way threatening, just critical of Kelley’s behavior and conduct on the base.

We also know that the FBI agent was illegally using his position to investigate the emails and was told to drop the investigation by the cyber crimes unit, who themselves took over the illegal investigation when they saw some interesting names pop up.

We know that Petraeus said that no one at the CIA had issued the order to Woods to stand down and we know that Petraeus had just returned from a fact finding trip to Benghazi, Libya and other countries in the Middle East in preparation for his testimony before Congress, when he was asked to tender his resignation.

Oh, and we know that Kelley really was a floozy and was involved with the General who took over from Petraeus in Afghanistan. It is very possible that the critical emails from Broadwell were an accurate criticism of the woman’s behavior and totally justified.

No.
The chemical WMD are to go not only to Syria, but to the states surrounding states to Israel. And to Iran.
Period.

Patraeus certainly looks like he is going to be the fall guy. Rule one for a dictatorship. What appears in the MSM is not the truth. Whoever the MSM attacks, is not the bad guy. The bad guys get off scott free from MSM accusations.

And Stevens was not the primary target. The first thing the attackers did was setup road blocks as the Turkish Diplomats were leaving. You normally do not start with roadblocks, since that would tip your hand. My guess is the Turkish Diplomats were one of the primary targets and that is why the roadblocks were setup first.

So yes, it was an attack to remove the covert weapons supply line. Including the Turkish aspect. IMHO.

Oh yeah. That's why it would make such a great movie.

Urkel could play Obama. Or mayabe Hugo Chavez as Obama.

Snoop Dog for Holder.

Bill Maher can play Axelrod, Monica Lewinsky can play Hilliary. Naw, Joy Baher or Rosanna.

Bridgett Gabriel for either Huma or Jarrett. The irony would be hilarious!

WC Fields as Bill Clinton.

Harry Reid played by The Angel of Death.

It would make a heck of a soap opera/spy thriller.

The Republicans, the ambassador and the General would be the bad guys and the Obama guy and his clown car of commies and jihadists would be the heros.

Not been reported. So it is either classified or the Turks are not talking. There was some astonishment that the Turks did not see the roadblocks since they should have. That caused a conspiracy theory about the Turks setting up Stevens. But we do not know what happened to the Turks.

Maybe, I think he was told to back the WH line which we all now know is BS or else. He probably agonized, on what to do, and in fact sounds like he may have given false testimony in the closed door hearing.

If he comes forth and tells the truth about OBAMA and his mininons all sins are forgiven.

One thing for sure... Obama will fail the next test and the next one. Our enemies are biting at the bit right now to test us. You think he’ll go to the aid of Taiwan....hell no...Do you think he’ll put the screws now to Iran...nope...Iraq is deteriorating by the day...

“Obama will fail the next test and the next one.”

Sadly, I completely concur. Despots have a nose for weakness and can easily see our hapless leader is on the ropes as all the seeds he has sown over the past 4 years begin to sprout. I’m a firm believer in “natural consequences” but fear for the safety of our nation as we experience the result of having elected so inexperienced a Commander in Chief.
