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.
So the official briefing of a 4 star general to the white house ‘gets changed’ and nobody know who did it?
BS
This is too easy. If the head of an agency forwarded or sent his report to his boss, and someone altered it, then it would have to be someone in the management hierarchy above Petraeus. That should be a very short list!
Who was above Petraeus? Who had the authority to unilaterally change the content of the report?
King says he’s friends with Petraeus. Is he (King) friends with Jill Kelly and Paula Broadwell as well?
I’m withholding final judgement until I find out if the Republican committee members asked the really tough questions. If they get hung up over who said what after the attack, they will never uncover the truth about what happened during the attack and why Americans were left in harms way when military support could have been provided. There are so many grand conspiracy theories about gun running and Obama deliberately letting the Ambassador get captured to trade him for the Blind Sheik, but the more plausible scenario is that Obama let political considerations (i.e. appeasing muslim sensitivities) interfere with his duty to the Americans in danger, and that it was Obama who ordered the CIA and military not to send in any direct military assistance to the people at the Annex. Obama looked into the eyes of terror and he blinked. And Americans died because of his cowardice.
“Clapper, Brennan, or Donilon”
I chose D. All of the above.
King has met Kelley at ONE OR TWO events at the British Embassy in DC.
Who cares about what others think, America is way more important than foreigners 'thoughts'.
hmmmm,
Something is missing here...
Wasn’t the whole invasion, killing, watched on live feed?
So was Petraeus in the room with the whole group?
Is THAT when he said it was Al-quada?
And AFTER they watched it, they decided to change “the talking points” for “our” benefit?
“No one knows yet exactly who came up with the final version of the talking points,” he said.”
My bet is on Valerie Jarrett, the psuedo-commander in chief...
Were there any questions at the hearing about what happened ON 9/11?
Whether any CIA agents requested military assistance?
Or were the questions focused on the aftermath (talking points, etc.)?
Panetta? Great point! Glad you thought of it!
Don't know ... Going to look. Bringing back names.
The whole thing conveniently wasn’t taped. Don’t know the details on it.
*planned the attack*
And planned the Egyptian uprising to blame a US video for cover coordinated by MB/CIA holding Obuma phones.
Obviously the election entered into the calculation. An attack by Al Qaeda just two weeks after Obama had loudly proclaimed its death, had to be embarrassing. That Obama was still using the cover story two weeks afterwards at the UN was no more than pandering, which is part of his Middle East policy. With the situation heating up in Syria and in Israel, even a public oblivious to anything unpleasant about this man may get a chance to see him in “action. Why people are attracted to a man of so little natural warmth escapes me.
Seems like censorship to me. From the WH. Time for an Independent Prosecutor.
This just screams Valerit Jarrett, Muslim Brotherhood supporter and tweeker of Obama's brain.
She is the driving force behind sanatizing Islamic terrorism and accepting the MB as a wonderful org.
Obama thinks so too, as they are doing all they can to install Muslim Brotherhoodw regimes all across the Mideast.
How's that working out for you in Egypt, Val?
Obama's brain is the love child of Jarrett and Axelrod's brains.
Search engines unresponsive leading to conclusive information for myself. Agreement superiors' list would be very short.
What do you think the fallout around the world would be if we were to learn the Obama adm. planned the attack?
Fall out?? I'm more concerned with getting the truth, from a patriot, than being an appeasing paper tiger.
I prefer to wait and hear what needs to be determined from Chaffetz, Issa, or Gowdy.
Until then, my bet is on Petraeus doing the right thing.
