CNN: PETRAEUS TO TESTIFY HE KNEW LIBYA WAS TERRORISM 'ALMOST IMMEDIATELY'
Breitbart ^

Posted on 11/15/2012 4:29:22 PM PST by hole_n_one

Just a few minutes ago on CNN, Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr reported that a high-placed source informed her that former CIA Chief David Petraeus will use his upcoming testimony to amend his previous testimony. According to this source, Petraeus will tell the closed door congressional hearing that he knew "almost immediately" that the September 11 anniversary attack on our Libyan consulate was a terrorist attack committed by the al-Qaeda-linked militia Ansar Al Sharia.

Thanks for the info. They’re working very hard to trash her reputation and make her sound like a flake, although that would be a little difficult because she has a fairly solid record of achievement. It was easy to make somebody like that “film maker” go away, because he had a long history of bizarre behavior and they were quickly able to demonize him and move him away to some place where nobody could ask him any questions (such as who put him up to the project in the first place).

Broadwell probably knows something, and if she’s lucky, all she’ll get to silence her is jail. I think she’s being very prudent by staying out of reach at the moment.

How about this for Making sense of this dog and Pony show?
Kudos to Greta Van Sustern on her show last Night . Greta is not known as a Conservative and she is the only Host I Have seen on TV ask the Question of What was the CIA doing In Benghazi? Were they Running Guns to the Syrian Rebels?
She asked this of the supposed Right wing attack dog Dana Rohrbacher Representative from Californis,Yeah the same one who yesterday called Obama a Liar about this Coverup. But even Mr. Attack dog ran for the tall Hills when Greta asked that one.
Folks this dog and Pony Show we are Watching is a Massive Coverup,and BOTH sides Know what Happened and NO one wants to go there. The public is so used to being led by the ring in their Nose they cant even awake from their Stupor and their Brainwashers and think Critically and ask that same question that Greta asked and she has been grappling with for some time,Why would people make up such stupidity about a Video,What was Stephens and the CIA doing in the hot Bed of Alqueda,Benghazi? Greta hit it,They were running Guns to the Syrian rebels,Alqueda Jihadists. That is the rosetta Stone here folks all this why did No One Help,Blah Blah Blah,
Why are we arming the Jihadists that are trying to Destroy us? Because Obama wants to Help in creating the Caliphate for the Muslim Brotherhood. He would love to keep talking about the sex scandal with Petraeus,or his poor UN ambassador Susan Rice. Wake up folks

“I didnt think this would happen.I thought he would be worried about his wife’s job and his pension.”

Big Media seemed to start calling him MR. Petraeus yesterday, already drummed him out of the service for their messiah.

Patreus will harmonize: ‘It was opportunistic terrorism. It may have been planned but the attack it was spontaneously launched once the “protest” started. That was the collective assessment of the agency anyway. My initial thought was terrorism, and I was correct. However, for a time, we honestly, reasonably, but mistakenly believed it was spontaneous or opportunistic terrorism.’

Something like that.

Come on now.

The Obama Admin has lots of pressure to press besides an affair. There’s the possibility of criminal charges, the loss of a very big pension if convicted, possible charges of treason if his girlfriend has classified info, further exposures of his behaviors over the decades...

Petraus is going to back Obama to save his own skin and just let the chips fall.

Since when do any of these people in high office think of anything other than themselves, power, or prestige.

The country be damned.

Maybe he won't. As a general he has lots of buddies who are still in that can cause lots of trouble. I'm sure he's on the horn now calling in some favors. Even if they use the affair as a smoke screen they would have to listen to his buddies.

If I was looking at losing everything I'd sing like a cave canary.

I am sure you are correct.

Much worse.

There is only one cure to the Washington DC Disease. Total closure of many agencies.

There is a little obstacle to that. A few winning elections and a President & House with some balls.

It may come after the financial collapse the world is facing.

But again I look out my front door and this IS STILL TEXAS where I live. I am a little envious of our neighbors to the North in OK. They voted 70% for Romney and 30% fir Obozo (in 2008 not a single OK county was wont for Obozo)

Superimposing the timeline of the leftists’ attack on Petraeus years ago with the “General Betray Us” commercials with this one should clear things up.

Petraeus went from a dog to kick around by leftists, to being exalted and promoted to head of CIA by America’s chief commie traitor leftist.

Something was NEVER right with him and the leftist freaks.

He hasn't testified yet. We'll see what wins here.

We could only hope Petraeus is half the man Terry Lakin is.

If he spills the beans on Barry & Co., he would become a national hero.

Well... with 48% of the "nation," anyway. The remaining 51% would want his head on a platter for upsetting their little "free stuff" applecart.
