CNN: PETRAEUS TO TESTIFY HE KNEW LIBYA WAS TERRORISM 'ALMOST IMMEDIATELY'
Breitbart ^

Posted on 11/15/2012 4:29:22 PM PST by hole_n_one

Just a few minutes ago on CNN, Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr reported that a high-placed source informed her that former CIA Chief David Petraeus will use his upcoming testimony to amend his previous testimony. According to this source, Petraeus will tell the closed door congressional hearing that he knew "almost immediately" that the September 11 anniversary attack on our Libyan consulate was a terrorist attack committed by the al-Qaeda-linked militia Ansar Al Sharia.

Rush seems to think that nothing game changing will come of anyone’s testimony...particularly the General’s.He makes a good case for that position...fear,loyalty,embarrassment.Anyone who does give testimony damaging to Osama will feel a wrath containing features of “Chicago politics” and Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”.

I think he admitted the affair and exposed it and resigned so he would not be under bama’s blackmail.....this is a soldier, a good guy, a white hat guy to bamas black hat mobster....and I hope he blows bama’s house down...

Whatever Patreaus said or did not say had nothing to do with the guy who made the “movie” which of cousre no one has ever seen. Only the 14 minute trailor on Youtube which some Egyptian sheikh put up there. The guy who “made” it was partners with a Palestinian jihadist. Neither is clean, and it is obvious that the administration put them up to it. The guy is in jail to keep investigators away from him. He’s probably very stupid and would reveal too much even by accident.

It is entirely possible, though speculative , that the owhitehouse was blackmailing the General. The general put himself in this position due to his own moral terpritude. He could have just told the truth in the first place. Testify to the affair, blackmail, and then truthfully document the attack. He would have been home free. Instead...lies. Then a rethink, presser, and resignation.

“Petraeus was blackmailed by Obama”

Now that the affair is out in the open, what can he blackmail him with ?

Maybe Patreaus has borrowed Sarah Palin’s b@lls and is going to fight fire with fire. Could get interesting.

I get it. You don't take at face value what was reported about what Petraeus said the first time. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

No problem.

Not sure who is telling the truth, but I'm leaning towards Petraeus.

Anyway here are our sources of contradicting information.

Newt Gingrich: Source Tells Me Petraeus Never Blamed Benghazi Attack On Video

Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intel committee, said Petraeus laid out “a chronological order exactly what we felt happened, how it happened, and where we’re going in the future.” “In the Benghazi area, in the beginning we feel that it was spontaneous – the protest- because it went on for two or three hours, which is very relevant because if it was something that was planned, then they could have come and attacked right away,” Ruppersberger, D-Md., said following the hour-long briefing by Petraeus. “At this point it looks as if there was a spontaneous situation that occurred and that as a result of that, the extreme groups that were probably connected to al Qaeda took advantage of that situation and then the attack started.”

“Well, that will make for a some mighty interesting follow-up questions, won't it? “

Well if you saw Bambi's Presser the other day you will know the answer is NO it will not. The Marxist Media has not interest in a gotcha game unless it involves Republicans

"Panetta-Obama moles inside the CIA"

I'd guess that more than half of the CIA are "progressives".

Lot’s of folks pretending to know what the General is going to say....I suspect many are going to be very disappointed with what comes out...
