If this is an inappropriate use of Breaking News, please feel free to pull it. My sense is this is "hugh" though.
Saw that on Hannity last night. King said nobody’s able to say who altered the talking points which had included a reference to AQ.
Obama said blame him... He also said (arrogantly) that Rice went out with the info provided her by the White House. WH altered it.
Btw, pathetic display hiding behind her race and gender instead of addressing her lies.
I still think Petraeus is trying to walk a fine line between the actual truth and protecting Obama.
I’m hoping he does the right thing.

They just made a deal with the devil that they would just as soon not talk about.
"Rep. Peter King Reveals What Petraeus Testified About: He Knew Libya Was Terrorism From the Start"
Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified in a closed-door hearing Friday morning that his agency determined immediately after the Sept. 11 Libya attack that “Al Qaeda involvement” was suspected — but the line was taken out in the final version circulated to administration officials, according to a top lawmaker who was briefed.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who spoke to reporters after Petraeus testified before the House Intelligence Committee, indicated he and other lawmakers still have plenty of questions about the aftermath of the attack.
“No one knows yet exactly who came up with the final version of the talking points,” he said.
What we are about to witness is a massive media blitz to explain away the contradictions and exhonerate little barry bastard boy liar-in-chief from any fecklessness, AND turn the entire effort to get the truth as a Republican political campaign. It is almost time for goin’ huntin’ to reduce the infestation of media fifth column.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Maybe we can get across the “hugh”cynicism of this administration. I know all administrations lie and cover their mistakes, but these guys count on blind loyalty in a way that is disturbing. And it is a “majority” faction of the kind that Madison warned about.
Bush’s Fault
“Petraeus testifies CIA’s Libya talking points were changed, lawmaker says”
“Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified in a closed-door hearing Friday morning that his agency determined immediately after the Sept. 11 Libya attack that “Al Qaeda involvement” was suspected — but the line was taken out in the final version circulated to administration officials, according to a top lawmaker who was briefed.
...Petraeus’ testimony both challenges the Obama administration’s repeated claims that the attack was a “spontaneous” protest over an anti-Islam video, and according to King conflicts with his own briefing to lawmakers on Sept. 14...”
The liberal media must really be scrambling to figure out how to report avoid reporting this. It will be interesting to see how it gets twisted or hidden with something else.
Petraeus said that the briefing points were changed thru an interagency process and did not consider that to be that significant at the time. Petraeus is part of the smokescreen pointing fingers elsewhere and giving excuses and outright lies for his own behavior.
I am hoping by the Sunday shows the left is back to calling the General ‘Be-tray-us’. That means he is telling the truth.
King says he’s friends with Petraeus. Is he (King) friends with Jill Kelly and Paula Broadwell as well?
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?
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.)?
Seems like censorship to me. From the WH. Time for an Independent Prosecutor.
