Panetta: I Immediately Knew that Benghazi Was a Terrorist Attack
PJ Media ^ | 10/7/14 | Bryan Preston

Posted on 10/07/2014 12:08:49 PM PDT by Nachum

Former Obama Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has dropped what may be the biggest bombshell yet on his former boss. Panetta appeared on MSNBC today and explained that he knew, from the beginning, that the attack on the US facility in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, was a terrorist attack. President Obama did not see it that way, and his actions that night remain a mystery. Host Andrea Mitchell asked Panetta, “You wrote in the book that you disagreed with David Petraeus and told the situation room he thought it was a spontaneous demonstration outside the consulate that night.

Does this jackass really believe Hillary will do anything good except fake PR?

“The problem is that he is also implicating her.”

Maybe is an honest broker, letting the chips fall where they belong.

You’ll note I said: “Assuming.....”

I am just saying that it`s clear to me that Panetta is trashing Obama to somehow help Hillary. Speaking of his book, mind you I am sure he is making some money as well, publishers require stuff like this for the big dollars.

As for Benghazi ? Libs dont care, they hate God and the military.

I was really speaking in general on the release of his book, he will be on Hillary`s team unless he is considering a run for himself, that`s my take.

You are absolutely right on the Benghazi point...how could it help Hillary, she was with Obama, lied with him etc.

So in this case I guess it`s just a attempt to salvage himself from the Benghazi cover up?

Mind you Hillary`s camp is probably working on a nonsensical argument designed for libs and moderate Republicans to swallow.

I just think generally, Panetta wants to either help Hillary or perhaps run himself?

Hey Panetta, did you get your info from FR? We knew the VERY night it all went down what it was. You think this revelation raises your sorry soul to some superior level? You are a CLINTONite down to your sorry bones.

What part do you lay at your highnesses feet, that being Hillary of course.

Apparently Panetta didn’t know enough to do anything about it.
