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.

It's getting to that point that's the problem.

Do we get there through peaceful means, or do we have to go through a civil war first?

You and myself are the only ones I know that have came to that conclusion. My reasons are that the ambassador had information that could be embarrassing to both obama and Hillary.To wit: He knew where the bodies were buried. In addition to that, his usefulness was over. He went from an asser to a libality. And since dead men tell no tales, the attack was to cover his murder.The others were just collateral damage.

No worse than the world knowing that there was an attack and we did nothing to stop it.

The US Embassy was under attack, and then a US CIA facility was under attack, and the POTUS does not talk to the CIA Director about it? Ever?

Petraeus likely watched it from Langley unless he was on the road at the time. There was no mention of him being in on Obama’s 5pm meeting that I’ve seen yet.

*The attack was planned then the video protest was planned *

Yes the video protest/cover was also planned weeks before and not a flash mob. I think so.. and after what did they do? They moved to ‘kill’ US speech. Likewise, what happened after F&F cartel gun run they moved to ‘kill’ US guns.

At that time he testified some viewed it as him throwing obama under the bus.

Jill Kelley Helped Muslim Nations, Hezbollah Infiltrate Central Command, MacDill Base; “Go To Girl” For Muslim Parties w/ Generals

Sami Al-Arian, was an instructor on the Middle East to our top generals at MacDill Air Force Base AT THE VERY SAME TIME that he was planning mergers and terrorist attacks in Israel with “the brothers of HAMAS” and while he was bringing Muslim illegal alien Islamic terrorists to the U.S.

Al-Arian’s friend and co-conspirator, Ramadan Abdullah Shallah (one of those Al-Arian brought here), who became the Secretary-General of the worldwide Islamic Jihad terrorist group, was also a lecturer at MacDill and also taught our top generals his poisonous views on the Middle East and Israel.

FBI and INS agents who investigated Shallah and Al-Arian were alarmed at the influence these two top Islamic terrorists had over CentCom. They were also alarmed to find many books on the inner workings of MacDill in Shallah’s house when they raided it.

The move is on to consolidate the Muslim world under the Muslim Brotherhood.

People still believe 0bama's foreign policy is simply bumbling and incompetence.

0bama has set Israel up the bomb...

Sept. 11, 2012

Netanyahu gets the cold shoulder.

U.S. has no right to block Israel on Iran: Netanyahu

The embassy in Cairo puts out an apology for a movie most of the rioters know nothing about.

Former deputy national security adviser: US response to embassy attack ‘bizarre and unacceptable’

0bama sent a letter to Tehran assuring them that the U.S. will do nothing to help Israel. That takes that off of the table removing a big worry for them that might have made them think twice. Iran is good to go now with 0bama's blessing.

We don't support Israeli attack, US tells Iran

The "movie" turns out to be a red herring excuse to cover for the rioters.

CNN: Protests against film a ‘diversion. Attack was planned’

Quite a day of unfortunate coincidences. Israel was rebuffed and there were signals being sent to the MB and Iran. 0bama is giving the "go ahead" to the Muslim world to take out Israel.

Obama Admin Transferred 3,000 Detainees to Afghan Gov't Control Day Before 9/11

UNREAL… Obama Invites Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President to Meet Next Week – Refuses to Meet Netanyahu

The White House hands Iran's Ahmadinejad a global megaphone

REPORTS: No Live Ammo for Marines

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

CNN: Protests against film a ‘diversion. Attack was planned’

Egypt intelligence warns (on Sept 4th) of attacks on Israel, US embassies

Congress was warned about Libya last month

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

U.S. denies premeditation report
"The Obama administration is flatly denying a blaring British newspaper report that the U.S. diplomats in Libya were killed as a result of a “continuing security breach,” and that “credible information” about possible attacks had been ignored. A U.S. official told POLITICO: “There's no intelligence indicating that the attack in Benghazi was premeditated.”"

Is that all incompetence? Or did it take planning to make all that happen?
Cloward & Pliven strategy and community organizing on a global scale?

This isn't just about getting re-elected, that's certainly a side benefit, this is about the big enchilada. No more Israel, an end to western influence in the ME and the establishment of The United States of the Muslim Brotherhood in the ME. ie the new Caliphate.

Don’t forget Huma (Hillary’s BFF) has immediate family involved in the Muslim Brotherhood. Jarrett and Axelrod probably get the MB details from her.

Don’t forget Obama calls Netanyahu. Seems I read somewhere that Obama had a long phone conversation with him while the attack was going on.

***Diane Feinstein (D-CA)was non too happy with Benghazigate***

This to me signals a glimmer of hope. That is: that there are some Congresspersons that have such a huge ego that they will get bent out of shape when they are not treated with the respect they feel that they deserve. I don’t know if this is the case with Feinstein, but I hope there are others who are really angry about all this - if not for the country, at least that their enormous egos are all upset because they were not informed as they should have been. This may be what it takes to trigger some *real* investigations and not just pretend.

the adminstration had this video excuse ready to go somehow.

That is something (amongst a lot of others!) that has bugged me from the beginning. To the best of my knowledge (and I haven't had a lot of time to really run this down), the first mention anywhere that I have seen of this "video" was in the Tweets from the Cairo embassy on 9/11/12. (In that infamous tweet stream they started apologizing for this "video" that day.)

I would be interested to know if anyone has ever found any mention of this "video" prior to those tweets that day. (It seems to me like they had that "excuse" ready to go, for that day, and introduced it into the mix by plan. And that is highly suspicious in and of itself, IMO.)

Clapper nor Morell could shed any real light on why the official line of the intelligence community apparently moved away from the initial (and correct) view that the Benghazi attack was terrorism.

Fox News was told that neither Clapper nor Morell knew for sure who finalized that information. And they could not explain why they minimized the role of a regional Al Qaeda branch as well as the militant Ansar al-Sharia despite evidence of their involvement.

One would think Obama would meet with Petraeus directly since the annex in Benghazi was under the operational control of the CIA. It was the CIA station chief in Benghazi who was directing actions on the ground after the consulate was hit.

Without getting too far down into the weeds, the role of the DNI in operational matters is tangential at best. Petraeus was appointed by Obama. The idea they can only talk with one another is thru intermediaries suspends belief.

The Government Accountability Institute, a new conservative investigative research organization, examined President Obama’s schedule from the day he took office until mid-June 2012, to see how often he attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) — the meeting at which he is briefed on the most critical intelligence threats to the country. During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent. By contrast, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting.

The Bush records are not yet available electronically for analysis, officials tell me the former president held his intelligence meeting six days a week, no exceptions — usually with the vice president, the White House chief of staff, the national security adviser, the director of National Intelligence, or their deputies, and CIA briefers in attendance. Once a week, he held an expanded Homeland Security briefing that included the Homeland Security adviser, the FBI director and other homeland security officials. Bush also did more than 100 hour-long “deep dives” in which he invited intelligence analysts into the Oval Office to get their unvarnished and sometimes differing views. Such meetings deepened the president’s understanding of the issues and helped analysts better understand the problems with which he was wrestling.

So did someone try to blackmail Petraeus with knowledge of his affair?
