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...

Why would ANYONE ever be employed directly or indirectly by this administration? Their very lives in danger and the only thing Obama cares about are faggots and islam.

With it being a 9/11 anniversary and our embassies were being attacked all over the Mideast and Africa, are they serious to say we had no military assets ready to go???

Who decided it was acceptable not to put Hil-lie-ry under oath? The RNC should pull all election funding from that person forever.

The question should be “Which Hunt?”

Obamanation has done great harm to America, and the RINOS lack the ‘fire in the belly’ to punish Communist B. Hussein Obama.

With so many evil actions by Obama to prosecute, the question should be “Which evil should we hunt down first?”

That’s an interesting angle I hadn’t thought of.

But since he has retired..can they touch his government or military pension?

Carney was flustered. Sometimes hard to tell with that gay ass, crooked mouth that constantly looks as if he is suffering from some painful infarctions ....

Either that or he hasn’t gotten use to chewing Shoal just yet.

What has Patreaus got to loose at this point?"

Nothing. He's already got a teaching job at CUNY.

Must be. 2nd time this week and I started calling that walking hemorroid “Midway Carney”. Months ago.

Then again, his name invites creative derision when he’s walking around horrid like Baghdad Bob....

I'd have to ask so e military expert on that one but one thing I do know is, just like the Clinton's used the some 1,100 FBI files to shut down their critics and enemies, Obama is doing the same, in spades!

I also note that just after Benghazi, Patraeus was forced to step down for his post at CIA and I don't think it was a coincidence!

What if CIA produces Obama REAL birth certificate and it shows he was born outside the USA? [CIA can think of lots of creative ways to screw over BHO.]
