Is this why CIA chief really resigned? Gun running to jihadists could dwarf 'Fast and Furious'...

JERUSALEM – The speculation surrounding the sudden resignation of CIA Chief General David Petraeus is focusing in large part on his role in an alleged cover-up of the attacks against the U.S. mission in Benghazi this past September.

Perhaps overlooked is the CIA’s role in purportedly using the Benghazi mission to coordinate U.S. aid to Syrian opposition groups and information those same insurgents include jihadists openly acting under the al-Qaida umbrella.

One week before he was slated to testify before Congress on the Benghazi debacle, Petraeus on Friday night announced his resignation, citing an extramarital affair, and it was reported he will no longer testify.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., the House Homeland Security Committee chairman, charged in an interview with CNN that Petraeus is “at the center of this, and there are answers that only he has.” King was referring to the Benghazi attacks.

Asked if he will still call for Petraeus testify despite his resignation, Rep. King replied, “Absolutely, to me, he’s an absolutely necessary witness.”

Patraeus resigned at a time when the U.S. intelligence community is facing criticism over both its response to the assault in Benghazi and whether it had early warnings of al-Qaida plans to attack the U.S. mission in that country.

The White House and multiple State Department officials had immediately blamed a crude film about the Islamic figure Mohammad for what they claimed were popular protests that preceded the attacks on the U.S. mission.

According to new, vivid accounts provided by the State Department and intelligence officials, no such popular demonstration took place the night of the attack. Instead, video footage from Benghazi reportedly shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, the officials said.

That Benghazi compound is repeatedly referred by the news media to as a “consulate.”

Romney in the debate steered it in the correct (and accurate) direction.

That’s one of the reasons why the other side stole the election.

I think Romney was going to put a stop to the kowtowing to, and aiding of, the Muslim brotherhood and shine a light on what Russia is up to in Syria.

Remember 0 saying to Putin’s rep about being “more flexible” after the election.

I've been very impressed with some of the women on the committee.. last name of 'ros-hetinen'??? and 'Myrick'.. Myrick is doing what EVERYONE should be doing; Focus on the four dead Americans.. That is what this is about and they ALL should have photos of those four men propped up in front of their microphones during the hearings, private and public. CONSTANT reminder and do it for the families too..

Well, you know far more than I on this topic but we know the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin had met with Stevens 40 minutes before the attack. I believe he gave the green light for the attack. Something was known in advance regarding a major fraud (regarding weapons bartering) perpetrated on the terrorists by the U.S. That there was also possibly a prison at or near the annex.. Perhaps Akin wanted someone released and gave go ahead for attack? In any case, it all boils down to 0bama not wanting to shame his BEST BFF foreign leader friend, the President of Turkey, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

What did the president know and when did he know it?

The President knew in real time that Americans were dying.

The President blocked any military response.

What are you going to do about it?

Obama says the answer is NOTHING, screw you and all Americans.
