Watch out for Petraeus in Benghazi scandal

Joseph Curl

EXCERPT:

Carnival barker Jay Carney looked almost ashen Friday as he took the podium to face a suddenly invigorated press corps. Of course, the public briefing came after a private session with “reporters who matter,” a sure sign the White House is in full hunker-down mode — and, more precisely, terrified.

Speaking for the White House, the flack said the CIA was fully to blame for the talking points. Fully. “That is what was generated by the intelligence community, by the CIA,” he said.

For the record, this is what the CIA “generated”:

“Since April, there have been at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi by unidentified assailants.” That line was stricken: Everything was fine there — fine fine fine.

And: “We do know that Islamic extremists with ties to Al Qaeda participated in the attack.” That line, too, was deleted by … someone. Instead, this was inserted: “There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.”

.........this scandal is just beginning. And the White House has picked a very bad scapegoat: the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA follows RFK’s edict: “Don’t get mad, get even.” And when the CIA gets even, it isn’t pretty.

With the White House putting all blame on the agency, expect push back this week — nuclear push back. Gen. David H. Petraeus, the former director forced to resign after a sex scandal, is a dangerous man to the Obama administration. Mad and intent on getting even, he’s already talking, telling one reporter the talking points were “useless” and that he preferred not to use them at all. The floodgates will open this week, and by the end of business Friday, the scandal will be full blown...

You’re precisely right, Phil, except look at who’s running the CIA.

Perfect!
Thank you SO MUCH, dearest thouworm.

He sure screwed up when he took the CIA job.
He lost his honor, and apparently before that.

Oh, yeah, there it is in the 18th of 19 paragraphs! I guess I got tired , assuming they had forgotten to mentions him.

You just needed to read the excerpt I posted to start the thread. Anyway, I’m glad you found his name. :o)

Not to go was, in essence, to consign 30+ people to their deaths with nowhere a lifted finger. It was to leave their bodies openly accessible to desecration and mutilation of the worst kind, to end all concern for any classified assets left on site, and to abandon meaningful investigation of the site, to learn fully what happened.

Barry's (and Valerie's) "no go"/stand-down (and you're being relieved of command) decision(s) had built into themy the worst kind of governmental incompetence and negligence. The only thing worse would be outright treason, which I believe does, in fact, account for these horrendous decisions.

Holding hands (how over-the-top-yet-real was that?), Barry and Hillary had made deals with our enemies and were calculatedly willing to offer the blood of and expend fine and well-trained American citizens at that diplomatic outpost. Although I'm sure there are many more treasonous aspects to the fall of the CIA Annex, diplomatic outpost and Ambassador to Libya, hiring of the (homosexuals-solicited) Al Qaeda-affiliated February 17th Martyrs Brigade for our citizens' failed security demands use of nicely-made nooses.

Thanks for the link. The site offers better information than I’ve previously seen on the alleged arms project.
