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.

What we are about to witness is a massive media blitz to explain away the contradictions and exonerate little barry bastard boy liar-in-chief from any fecklessness, AND turn the entire effort to get the truth as a Republican political campaign. It is almost time for goin’ huntin’ to reduce the infestation of media fifth column.

YES.

Your questions get more to the heart of the matter. But, what was the CIA mission in Libya? That's the cover up. It was either weapons trafficking, a hostage swap scheme, or maybe both.

As for Petraeus, who cares if someone "changed the talking points" - he still knowingly repeated a bunch of false BS. That's on his shoulders - don't blame some other useful idiot.

What do you think the fallout around the world would be if we were to learn the Obama adm. planned the attack?

well if he was tried for treason/mas murder and executed, it would make us look better...

Thanks for the support. Greta don't fool me, not one little bit. She is a Democrat in sheeps clothing, Whorealdo don't even bother to don the sheeps clothing anymore.

Up until the truth finally comes out, these two will pretend to be getting to the bottom of things, all the while inserting more confusion themselves.

Their confusions will then give voice to MANY, to ponder what those CONFUSIONS may mean, as seen right here in FR, and off we go again on another wild goose SPIN.

Wonder sometimes how much Obama pays some of his dweebs in FR.

Think Israel or the Brits could answer the question of who are the superiors (and over) the Head of the CIA, Formerly General Petraeus?

olezip, you are a sly one!

You’ve identified the crux of the issue: the President’s dereliction of duty that contributed to the deaths of four Americans. The Ambassador and other person who died at the consulate died as a result of a lack of protection, in a known hostile environment, on the most notorious day in the calendar. The other two died because neither the military, the CIA or the President took any step to come to the aid of those in the Annex. If King and the others on those committees are not asking direct questions about those two issues, then they are not doing their jobs. Obama was either derelict in his duty as CIC or was treasonous. Either way he is not fit for office. Americans need to know the truth but I hold out little hope that the GOP members will uncover that truth.

Hillary and Panetta are both in Australia while these hearings are going on. Interesting timing for the sec of state and def sec to be halfway around the world.

They have to get their stories straight.

Sucks for them, if you tell the truth you don't have to remember what you said.

You just know they have some heavy involvement to have them whisked out of the country at this time.

Hilliay testimony:

“I don't recall” to every question.

Panetta testimony:

“I was never qualified for this job, it was a political favor”

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.

Jarrett has more influence over Obama than his teleprompter.

She is in his brain with her radical Muslim agenda.

She is to Obama as Jeff Dunham is to Achmed The DEAD Terrorist

My burning question is how long does it take for one to die that has contracted the “Slims.”

Talking points went from CIA mentioning al Qaeda then were changed by someone removing terrorism reference and given to Rice to spew on the Sunday talkies. When Petraeus testified why did he seem to agree with the modified talking points?

Indeed!

And, Syncro, we have LIVING witnesses who were on the ground in Benghazi and none have called to testify!

NONE!

Huge cover-up on behalf of the Marxist.

Jarrett and Holder.
