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.

I finally figured out where the bogus 'Anti-Islam movie' narrative came from.. HILLARY promoted the idea but it ORIGINALLY came from:

HUMA ABEDIN

my very plausible guess - CIA issues an immediate “finding” to the White House, that finding is reviewed AND edited at the White House; the edited/redacted CIA finding sent from White House to Susan Rice - as if it came as is from the CIA where in the White House? I suspect Valerie Jarrett, the Marxist consigliere there.

Yes, that's the most likely scenario.

Now watch the spinners and their believers.

Just saw it. If true, this is a huge story. Unbelievable. Obama is not engaged in running this country, just in campaigning and raising money. He has never held an executive or leadership position in his life and now it shows.

I’m not yelling, I’m just sayin....

US MILITARY BASED IN IRAQ WOULD HAVE ENSURED A RATHER QUICK RESPONSE IN BENGHAZI. UNITED STATES LEFT IRAQ WITHOUT S.O.F.A IN ORDER TO FULFILL A CAMPAIGN PROMISE. OBAMA RENEGED ON HIS DUTY.

Obama campaigned on leaving Iraq and on how wrong President Bush took was to take military into Iraq then lied about his intent to get a S.O.F.A in place, then he lied about having given orders to secure the Benghazi mission and lied about ....Oh My God, He lied about everything from the day he was born.

I believe lying is cause for concern?

Now the inquiry turns to who in the WH altered the intel into a lie. We all know who did but now it’s time to get it on record.

Even if she were subpoenaed she could say the sun rises in the West and the corrupt MSM would support her. By the way, I had no idea Susan whoever was a black female, but I guess I'm still a racist, right?

Obama communicates with the DNI James Clapper. Petraeus would have sent his memo up to Clapper who then should have passed it on to Obama.

Just because the president doesn't communicate with the DCI doesn't mean that he wasn't engaged in what was going on.

"I still think Petraeus is trying to walk a fine line between the actual truth and protecting Obama his command staff."

Fixed.

The attack was planned then the video protest was planned as a cover to make it appear the terrorist are so in tune with the news they can pick up on a news story, plan and carry out an attack in a few minutes.

When the spontaneous lie fell through, the only alternative was to continue lying so people would keep repeating there was no connection with the attack and the video protest.

It's not possible to plan an attack against a particular person on a particular day at a particular location without having some guarantee they will be at that location.

The only people that could guarantee months in advance of the attack that Stevens would be there on that particular day was Hillary and Obama.

I found Peter King’s affect this morning so unnerving, his words went right over my head.

It was as if he was using a tremendous amount of energy to keep his emotions in check. Anger? Surely. At one point he seemed to be on the verge of tears. Peter King is no Boehner, that is for damned sure.

I don’t know. Could be my imagination or the fog of morning, but I found it strange. Anyone else?

I’m not saying I agree with it if that is the case, but we are talking about a constitutional crisis and civil war.

With civil war, other countries would have to pick a side or back off from both sides.

With a civil war we’re left wide open for an attack from other countries.

The, ONLY, important question in this “he said-she said,” circle-jerk is WHO denied the Americans (on the ground in Benghazi) air-support or whatever support they may have asked for! Really, isn’t that THE question? We can get to the “why” later.

Liberal spin?

Are you smart enough to know what a constitutional crisis is?

Are you smart enough to know what civil war means?

I have zero doubts Zippo and Hillary planned this attack.

Well, look at it from poor little Obama’s perspective. It is kind of embarassing to admit that your ambassador was tracked down and assassinated and your diplomatic mission was burned down by a terrorist group you knew was a terrorist group before you put it in your pocket ...and worse, is a terrorist group linked to an al Qaeda group in Iraq (which the US was fighting in Iraq until you and your party insisted we not fight that war because there is no al Qaeda in Iraq which used to be called Ansar al Islam and was in Baghdad during the reign of Saddam Hussein] ... and the terrorist group that killed your ambassador to Libya is also linked to an al Qaeda group in Yemen whose recruiter and spokesperson was an Imam who preached in a mosque in the Washington DC area who was touted as a “moderate muslim” by your friends in the press after 9/11 because they read his English speeches and not his arabic ones and who was the pen pal of the mass murderer who committed the massacre at Ft. Hood [that your administration refuses to admit was a terrorist attack because your still embarassed by the mass murderer having been on your transition committee] ... and the mass murderer who committed what you called “workplace violence” [not terrorism] just happens to be the inspiration of the Toronto 18 grooup that was planning to behead the Prime Minister of Canada and Canadian legislators ...and it is prett embarassing to to let the world find out the group that killed your ambassador is led by some people who were prisoners captured in Bush’s administration but whose release wasobtained by a combination of leftist media drivel, leftists funded by one of your largest campaign donors George Soros and oddly enough, some white supremacist “human rights” activists ... as well as the legal aid rendered by the law firm to which your current attorney general belonged, between the time he advocated that Bill Clinton release FALN terrorists and the time you nominated him to be your man.
