Very interesting. Paula Broadwell reveals new facts about the attack and the CIA's response to it. The fact she says the CIA had three militia prisoners at the annex means Petraeus was feeding her info, probably classified info. This changes the entire nature of the Broadwell/ Petraeus scandal. It is no longer just about an affair, but about Petraeus possibly revealing to her classified info.

The entire youtube video of her speech is at this link....

Every military command around the world knew of the incident and events the moment the button was pushed. In real time.

So did 0bama. It is someone’s job to tell the sitting President, whoever that is. Even the fraud.

Events are monitored in real time. Prociedures. Protocols. Everything.

People in military know this. People in military families know this. Retired. Cousins of military know this.

It’s not news. The ‘news’ talked of this early on.

I knew about the terrorists taken into custody early on. They were released to the Libyans and were subsequently ‘released.’

Petraeus divulged CLASSIFIED to her? I guess he was just falling into the 0bama regime pattern of loose lips.

Any CinC with half a brain and an ounce of loyalty or humanity wouldn't need to hear a call for help to dispatch a rescue team when he can see on video and hear on the radio that one of his consulate's is under heavy assault.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

---------------------------------------------------------

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

ONE man deserted his post!

EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say

0bama abandoned his post. 0bama Is A Deserter!

More and more, I’m putting together my own picture of this woman.

She’s attractive; by all accounts a great mom/wife. She’s a West Point grad....means she’s no dummy. She’s a Lt. Col. in the Army Reserves (doesn’t mean a lot unto itself, really...she’s the right age for that rank).

She’s a wannabe. She clearly wants to be a “player” in military/intelligence circles. Her connection....no pun intended....to Petraeus was her ticket, and she exploited it to the hilt. She has, or had, ambitions beyond what her talents and connections could provide.....so ****ing the General gave her the entree she needed.

She also, clearly, could not keep her mouth shut. “Discretion” is not her long suit.

In sum, she was a bad risk, and the good General let a hot body and pretty face expose him in many, many unplanned (as well as planned) ways.

And not any kind of classified information, but information that puts the P..resident directly in the line of fire. Remember the press release from the CIA that no one in the agency denied any request for support.

It certainly raises a question and gives more credence to the theory that Petraeus was black-mailed (by you know who) to keep quiet about what happened on the 11 September in Benghazi.

If Petraeus trusted Broadwell enough to confide in her she would not be broadcasting this on video. This woman has to be a plant. I do not think Petraeus gave her classified information. I believe that Petraeus had an affair with this woman after she persuade him for years under the disguise of a book research project. FBI had proofed of the affair before Petraeus took the CIA Director position and with their plant had here reveal classified information to a university speech to discredit Petraeus.

Lookie here, no here, this hand. That’s right more sordid sex. Come on tune in later for the latest episode of “Sex under The Desk.” See it tonight right after “Dancing with Stars” and “Survivor.”

Just Pathetic!

She has the rank of Lt Col.

She could have been guessing based on her knowledge of Petraeus and that he would not leave his guys.

As for the knowledge that there were prisoners, this was in the foreign media reports when this all went down. There is video on YouTube of the prisoners being taken from the consulate. If you want to know what is going on in the Middle East, watch Al Jazeera.

Yeah, always reminds me of the saying that sexual relations shouldn’t be happening in the military. Well, I guess I am also hearing an “I told you so” regarding what’s coming up. (Soldiers being promoted for being lovers of the general, anyone?)

We need a timeline. She said in October that there were prisoners in the ministry in Benghazi. But, she had the affair months ago. The FBI didn’t start investigating Petraeus because of what Broadwell said in Denver this October. The FBI and Holder were investigating Petraeus for months.

I am not sure of what to make of all of this, yet. But, if you know that someone may testify against you, it is best to discredit them, their anticipated testimony and the jury pool well before they take the stand.

Another option is to eliminate the threat. Considering the totality of the known circumstance, it would be easy to sell to the American people that Petraeus committed suicide or that the enormous stress he is suffering cause a fatal heart attack.

Petraeus needs to testify, tell nothing but the truth and to do that ASAP.

” The fact she says the CIA had three militia prisoners at the annex means Petraeus was feeding her info, probably classified info.”

Surely the fact that CIA had 3 militia prisoners must have been Secret or Top Secret information, as this, to my knowledge, is the first time it has come to light. What’s interesting/odd is that I thought this affair ended many months ago. So why was Petraeus sharing such sensitive info with her in October? And was he doing so via his presumably unencrypted personal Gmail account? And if his Gmail was being monitored, didn’t anyone in the FBI pick up on this fact etc.? This “most transparent administration in history” has some serious ‘splainin’ to do!

So you think this scandal is all about Petraeus, Broadwell and the revealing of classified info.

What about Obama, Benghazi and the lack of response to save 4 lives.

You started the thread. You made the above comments. I think you owe an answer. I'll expect it.

Why would Petraeus do this ? Was he trying to get the truth out ?
