Rep. Peter King appeared on Fox News this morning and stated that David Petraeus testified that the original CIA talking points about Benghazzi indicated it was a terrorist act and cited al Qaeda involvement. Somewhere after leaving CIA, the talking points were changed. He did not know who changed them.
Hopefully they are in well insulated bunkers.
Unfortunately for this administration, their minions missed a few who can be excellent witnesses.
Since 2004 the Director of the CIA no longer reported directly to the President as part of his cabinet. Instead, he reports to the Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence. If Petraeus is saying that the CIA report was altered before it got to the White House, then he’s really pointing the finger at Clapper. Will Clapper fall on his sword for Obama?
Geraldo was more OBNOXIOUS than usual. I think Eric wanted to way-lay him. Wish he could have.
nothing on CNN about this
Were they really protesting a film or is that all made up. I would call raising the flag pretty much a terrorist act as well. not just a protest over a video.
Can’t cover it up. Wonder if any of them (cbs, abc, nbc, msnbc, cnn or will FOX) go first? LOL ... fly on wall time.
You’re right about that!
Nobody’s safe from this regime.
OBNOXIOUS is really a BIG BIG understatement. Eric wanted to way-lay him, so did the other 2 and SO DID I.
My gosh, when will they just do that, kick his sick cowardly commie butt out the door?
Whoreho would not allow any of them to speak,he was there to protect Obama and TALK over anyone who objected.
THE FIVE ought to be very interesting today. lol 3 against 1.
There are not that many people who would be seeing the official CIA analysis, much less being in a position to alter it before passing along the info.
The list is short: Obama or his handler Valarie Jarret.
It doesn’t matter what Petraeus says. If it looks harmful to the preezy, the WH and Pravda will go scorched earth on him and paint him as a liar and a racist.
Romneys vote was less than McCains. If he had got just a few hundred thousand votes more votes than McCain , Romney would have won the popular vote and maybe the electoral vote. Honest reporting of the Benghazi might have increased the turnout. The turnout was the lowest in many election cycles.
Claimed change was an inter-agency decision. That means that Obama, Hillary, Panetta, Petraeus, etc. re-worked the info until it suited their purposes. Bottom line: Obama is responsible for the final approval of whatever BS was fed to the American people.
I’m sure the talking points were changed for our own good. /s
Wish Fox would just pay off his damn contract. Let him go to MSNBC. I sat through his Capone Vault garbage (as a young skull) when it was on in 1986. Jerry Rivers should be forever tainted with that mess, and he is an Embarrassment. (esp. to UofA which bestowed a degree on the clown).
Brennan keeps surfacing in these things, but I think he was simply hewing to the line that the WH wanted...which was the one he would have taken anyway, because over his many decades in US service he has always been extremely the arabophile. To me, he's like a sort of a Kim Philby style intellectual redux.
But he couldn't have done this without either Clinton or Obama, both of whom were defending the other side (our enemies). In the case of Clinton, it was out of expedience and personal gain, but in the case of Obama, it's entirely ideological. That't the only thing at which Obama is not incompetent.
