Petraeus testifies CIA's Libya talking points were changed, lawmaker says
Fox News ^ | November 16, 2012 | Rep. Peter King

Posted on 11/16/2012 7:13:57 AM PST by The G Man

Rep. Peter King appeared on Fox News this morning and stated that David Petraeus testified that the original CIA talking points about Benghazzi indicated it was a terrorist act and cited al Qaeda involvement. Somewhere after leaving CIA, the talking points were changed. He did not know who changed them.

Yes, they did raise the black AQ flag over the Egyptian embassy (and not just on the wall, but over the roof) and the press forgot about it almost immediately.

Petraeus gets lunch with Polonius.

LOL! But probably not. That might be a little obvious.

Were they really protesting a film or is that all made up. I would call raising the flag pretty much a terrorist act as well. not just a protest over a video.


Good question. They were burning effigy's of Obuma and screaming we are all Osama protest words with terrorist actions. But this in Egypt started hours before the assassination in Libya. All of this could have been a coordinated operation to divert from what they were really doing probably F&F on steroids to AQ.

This has gotten to be smoke/mirrors/horsepucky/etc. What to call it has no effect whatsoever except maybe to identify a few more lying SOB’S. Stay focused , folks. The real question is WHO the bleep witheld help for our guys that were in trouble in Benghazi. If nothing else, a whole bunch of GI’s want to know if there’s really anybody ready to answer the red phone?———Where the flock is my aircover, Admiral? ( think Guadalcanal) -—Semper Fi

That means that Obama, Hillary, Panetta, Petraeus, etc. re-worked the info until it suited their purposes.

Yes, that's what happened. It's like the mysterious "video" shown to a legislative committee yesterday, which had been so heavily edited that nobody could tell what was going on.

They're trying to avoid the fact that this was not a bad decision of the president at that moment (because it probably wasn't, since he's sublimely uninterested) but was actually set policy, which is even worse. And the policy in this case was set by the WH, and while the Baby Barry is too dumb to think it out for himself, he's ideological enough to approve it, which was all they needed to go ahead. Obama and all of his minions are Marxist Muslim sympathizers who hate America, and this policy came out that environment.

"What we are about to witness is a massive media blitz to explain away the contradictions and exhonerate little barry bastard boy liar-in-chief from any fecklessness..."

I wonder if Barry will "take the White House lawn" at the head of a military formation like Billy Bob Clinton did?

That and his stupid TV show in which Jerry got his nose broken. His career has been long over if Fox wasn't propping up Jerry and Juan Williams and some of the other insulting, racist libs. This guy served in Vietnam?

Just heard on the radio, that McCain said he was was dumbfounded when he asked Petraeaus “when did you first discuss Benghazi with the president?” and the General replied, “I haven’t.”

!!!!!!

"Romney’s vote was less than McCain’s. If he had got just a few hundred thousand votes more votes than McCain , Romney would have won the popular vote and maybe the electoral vote."

Yes, that's what happens when Kamikaze Conservatives vote for a third party or sit home when the Republican candidate isn't "conservative" enough for them. We have probably seen our last Republican or "conservative" president because of this juvenile tactic.

Was there a specific request for assistance? Did you look at offering assistance in any event, knowing that your people and other Americans were under a significant and sustained attack by well armed terrorists? Did you communicate with the military leadership, State Department or the White House? Did you ask for assistance? What direction if any came from the White house

Indeed the most vital of questions IMHO to satisfy the parents of the dead Americans and citizens.

I'm not as concerned as to how the information was relayed to the public as few if any believed their story. It is important if it qualifies as impeachment of bozo.

Yep, on cBS radio - during the news hour break during Rush’s show.

I hope McCain is on news shows tonight or during the day.

I had hoped for a more honest, to the point, direct testimony by Petraeus...but he is clearly trying to walk a political line, which means he is covering for this admin that has American blood on its hands.

He has turned into a politcian...and a politician’s appointee and hung up whatever patriot clothing he once wore. I just wonder when it started. I believe, from reports from friends in the military, that Petraeus has been into his polkitical jeans for some time...climbing that ladder.

Sad.

He “suspected” Al Quida? They were on the internet talking about the attack...about speificis of the attack as it was winding down and taking credit for it. And the CIA knows this and so does Petraeus.

He doesn’t know who changed the “talking points.” What the hell does he mean, “talking points.”

The CIA provided a report. A report with someone’s name on it. If someone ignored that report and went with a different story (which is what happened) then just say so straight up and say who.

We all know the White HOuse changed it. And it was either Clapper, Jarret or the President himself (probably a consult between the three that Obama had to approve) that brought out the different story, and then they ran with it.

The Pre4sident himself is responsible for it and he said as much in his press briefing.

God grant us a patriot, either in the military, the press, the CIA, at State or even in the White House who will come forward and speak truth to power and reveal the magnitude of this sickening, shameful and traitorous affair!

Petraeus is part of the smokescreen pointing fingers elsewhere and giving excuses and outright lies for his own behavior.

Yes, he is. Did you see onyx' post 129? According to McCain, Petraeus has not discussed Benghazi with the president.
