If David Petraeus were a man and an American,
he would resign and testify as to what he knew about Benghazi.

He would then be a Real Hero and not be a Quisling

September 14, CIA Chief Petraeus Tells Congress Benghazi Attack Started As Movie Protest

The attack that killed four Americans in the Libyan consulate began as a spontaneous protest against the film “The Innocence of Muslims,” but Islamic militants who may have links to Al Qaeda used the opportunity to launch an attack, CIA Director David Petreaus told the House Intelligence Committee today according to one lawmaker who attended a closed-door briefing.

Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intel committee, said Petraeus laid out “a chronological order exactly what we felt happened, how it happened, and where we’re going in the future.”

“In the Benghazi area, in the beginning we feel that it was spontaneous – the protest- because it went on for two or three hours, which is very relevant because if it was something that was planned, then they could have come and attacked right away,” Ruppersberger, D-Md., said following the hour-long briefing by Petraeus. “At this point it looks as if there was a spontaneous situation that occurred and that as a result of that, the extreme groups that were probably connected to al Qaeda took advantage of that situation and then the attack started.”

Couldn’t be more on target. Impeachment’s too noble an end for this American imposter. Tar & feathering had its advantages; not only was it painful and incredibly inconvenient, it was the mark of disgrace & revulsion.

Another thread barking up the wrong tree. Petraeus was not in the chain of command in the Benghazi incident, and his recent statement should put the focus right back where it belongs - on the actual chain of command.

The senior combatant commander for Libya is General Carter Ham, the Commander of US Africa Command in Stuttgart, Germany. AFRICOM's headquarters was monitoring the events in Benghazi in real time, and simultaneously mobilizing a range of rescue options in accordance with established contingency plans. The forfeit option when a diplomatic mission is being overrun is Go. The wheels were in motion - until somebody stopped them.

There are only two men senior to the combatant commander - the Secretary of Defense and the President himself. Only two men could have ordered General Ham to stand down his forces on September 11; it was either Leon Panetta or Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
