We need to know whose name was redacted from Nuland’s email.

Makes one wonder if they released the details of his affair because he wouldn’t play ball.

Jake Sullivan, deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton, reports to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland that he’s spoken with Obama’s top spokesman at the National Security Council, Tommy Vietor. “I spoke with Tommy. We’ll work through this in the morning and get comments back.”

I think we've got a few new names, at least. Nothing is ever going to go directly to Obama, who has worked mightily to keep his fingerprints off this, by everything from supposedly going to bed the night of the attacks (and then leaving early the next day for a flight to Vegas) to his usual stuffing of the process with ranks of expendable, low-level intermediaries.

Who cares what they F’ing said! What matters is what was going on in Benghazi in the first place, and why they hung four men out to dry when they could have responded forcefully and saved most, if not all of them. That right there is the heart of the matter.

Special Counsel for Valerie Plame b.s., but not for this? Anyone think Holder is still qualified?

Well.....Obama has thrown Hillary Clinton under the bus!!! It’s as plain as the nose on your face!!! And......if you think Obama was angry last night about the IRS incidents last night.....you are smoking funny stuff or drinking too much Obama Koll-Aid!!! He no more wanted to be in front of the mike, then I wanted to be eating swiss cheese on the moon!!!

Can you imagine he fires his IRS guy who is slated to leave in a couple of weeks anyway!!! What a load of BS. If any American believes any word uttered by Obama is true, they should be awarded buffoon status!!! As for Petraeus, he sure turned out to be a dud!!! Obama destroys him and all he does is remain quiet, while these American haters, Obama and his cohorts continue unabated, to destroy this wonderfull country. General, may God have mercy on you, because....I sure don’t!!!

Stephen Haynes has done good work on this. You should have put his name in as the author.

“Frankly, I’d just as soon not use this,”

Grammar Nazi: "I'd just assume not use this."

That aside, I feel for Petraeus. As an engineer, I've had to compose some hard-hitting investigative documentation on failures in implementations only to have them completely walked back and "politicized" so as to not offend someone (i.e. the previous engineers). The "finalized" document is so devoid of any substance as to be completely worthless and a waste of my time having written the original.

But Hell, at least they pay me.

They’re in firefighting mode today. Sounds to me like they’ve got some pretty wicked conflagrations going on around them.

I’m expecting resignation announcements from Carney and some others very soon.

“What matters is what was going on in Benghazi in the first place, and why they hung four men out to dry when they could have responded forcefully and saved most, if not all of them.”

What they said goes to the heart if the matter. It shows they immediately went into CYA mode. They were gutless cowards that were more concerned about their reelection prospects than the people that were dying as they pondered how it would affect the election.

everybody, including everybody here, acts as though the existence of “talking points” is legitimate.

“Talking points” are LIES, OBFUSCATIONS AND TREASON. It is a scripted version of what some pols want the truth to be as opposed to the truth.

DON’T ACT LIKE THIS “TALKING POINTS” MERDE IS A LEGITIMATE METHOD OF ACCOUNTABILITY
