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.

Unless Petraeus testifies that it was a spontaneous terrorist attack.

In other words, Obama failed in his duties as chief executive and commander in chief to secure the facility as requested and people died. He then ordered his subordinates to lie to cover it up to save his reelection efforts. And no doubt tried to pressure or blackmail Petraeus to remain quiet about it. All impeachable offenses.

Duh, he’s not a liar nor retarded.

By the way, I hats his the release what is going to be said before it is said. Hearings are fake enough; I don’t need second-degree fake news.

If the word ‘BLACKMAIL’ comes up, it’s a whole new ballgame...

I might think the word "PERJURY" might be mentioned as well.

If it’s true it would be both hugh and series. But I’ve seen the media dangle these things before us in the past; when the opposite comes to pass it’s “see, there was nothing at all to the whole thing.”

No gun found

Ruled suicide...

Yeah, read the whole article. it is all pretty weaslely. Nothing is clear. It says Petraeus knew almost immediately, but the numerous differing reports clouded the picture and the White House “fog of war” explanation began to break down pretty quickly. yada, yada, yada.

My guess is Petraeus isn’t so damaged that he can’t get a major executive job or write a book or two. He’ll do just fine even if the government cuts of his cash flow. He’ll also feel better knowing he told the truth.

I agree...everyone keeps going on about his wife's "big" job and his pension. If he spills the beans on Barry & Co., he would become a national hero.

No, that’s a euphemism. Weasel words are ones that have been deprived of all meaning though their outside appearance stays the same, like how weasels are said to suck out the inside of eggs while leaving the shell mostly intact. A classic example is “social,” which is routinely placed before other words (insurance, justice, conscience, etc.) to make people feel good or win arguments and influence people without adding meaning.

You pretty much nailed it.

That's what Obama wants you to think.

The quote comes from a Rat Democrat Congressman from Maryland who claims to know what Petraeus said at a closed hearing.

How on earth do you trust that Petraeus actually said those words?
