General Petraeus testifies in front of the Congress on Benghazi and admits he knew this was a terrorist attack from the beginning

November 16, 2012

  Earlier today General Petraeus testified under oath about the terrorist attack in Benghazi which left Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Sean Smith dead, and according to Peter King  the general stated that he knew this was a terrorist attack unrelated to a You Tube video almost immediately.

  Peter King then stated that this was not the impression General Petraeus’ testimony–while not under oath–from September 14th left with the Congressional leaders. During that testimony General Petraeus appeared to be backing Barack Obama’s claim that this was an attack which grew out of a protest of the previously mentioned You Tube video.

  This leads us to the obvious question: Why did the general change his testimony? And the answer is equally as obvious to me. He changed his testimony because he was not telling the truth on September 14th. He was not telling the truth because he was compromised and he was still hoping to hold onto his job and his reputation.

    General Petraeus’ affair was uncovered in June and because of the business he was in this represented a national security issue, it is not plausible that Barack Obama was unaware of a high level person who was compromised so it doesn’t take a great leap forward to jump to the conclusion that Barack Obama, or someone in his regime, decided to use General Petraeus’ situation to help him cover up this story and help his reelection bid. Barack Obama was holding this affair over his head during the September 14th hearing. (And it just so happens that the woman who helped to bring down Petraeus happened to dine at the White House three times in recent months, coincidence?)

  Before I continue let me state that this represents precisely why David Petraeus had to resign over this affair. He was compromised and because of this he was in a position where blackmail (can I still use that term, or is it now racist) or extortion could be used against him, and it most likely was in this case. If our own government was willing to use this to advance a lie to the American people just think what others could use this information for if it fell into the wrong hands.

  With that being said let us move on to the next revelation from David Petraeus’ testimony this morning. General Petraeus made the claim today that the official talking points released by the CIA were altered prior to Susan Rice’s multiple appearances on the talking head Sunday morning television shows on September 16th.

  General Petraeus is making the claim that at this point there was still confusion as to what triggered the attacks even though he now says he knew almost immediately this was a terrorist attack and the CIA talking points were altered. He is still trying to cover his own ass for being in a compromised position while trying to shift the blame to other agencies for the falsehoods advanced by Susan Rice, but that still leads us to ask the question of who changed the talking points to a position more beneficial to Barack Obama when clearly the president must have known this was a terrorist attack at this point?

  That is a question that we still don’t have an answer to but we do know that Barack Obama admitted that he was the one who sent Susan Rice out to the talk shows and he did admit that she was using the best intelligence which was made available to her at that time.

  An interesting choice of words to say the least; Barack Obama didn’t say Susan Rice had the latest or most recent information available to the regime, but rather she had the best information MADE AVAILABLE TO HER. There is a huge difference here. The cover up was still ongoing at this point and it appears as if somebody high up in the Obama regime made the decision to provide Susan Rice with intelligence which would downplay the terrorist aspect of this attack in the hope of running out the clock until after the election and you have to give the Obama regime credit for this because it worked.

 If David Patraeus is telling the truth and the CIA talking points were watered down the question still remains, who decided to downplay the terrorist aspect to this story before the election and who decided to promote the idea this was a protest over the You Tube video when everyone in the regime knew this wasn’t true when they sent Susan Rice out there to promote a lie?

  The plot thickens, the cover up continues and we have reelected this corrupt, inept, and criminal regime for another four years. Elections have consequences and this is what the American people deserve…..

    Patraeus is a fook and Obama and several others in his administration are evil. And, yes, Americans did reelect him. How sad is that? Democrats are aready saying that Republicans are making too much out of the “talking points” being changes. Do they have enough shovels to bury this?

      It is going to take more than a few shovels, it is going to take a bulldozer or two!

      Wouldn’t changing the talking points signal a “problem”? We are well aware that they change things as needed depending on the reaction from the American people. We only need to know what they tell us, not the truth. Guess we are all to stupid to understand how things work in this administration…..problem is WE KNOW how it works and we don’t buy what they are selling this time .I feel sorry for those that take what they say at face value, they are surely going to wonder what the hell happened when the REAL TRUTH comes out.

        You would think it would signal a problem, wouldn’t you? But apparently it doesn’t to the Obama sycophants. I don’t understand how anyone can take this regime at face value, but I guess these people just don’t care as long as their messiah is in power.

    Anybody with half a brain knew this. Romney got tarred saying this. Now people criticizing Susan Rice are being called racists and sexists.

    What this country is becoming is disgusting.

      Romney was the bad guy for mentioning what happened when we were supposed to forget about it, now people who are trying to get to the truth are being attacked. There really is something wrong with the country right now.

    I still puzzle why they used Rice to go out there on the talkies if they wanted her at State. I would have thought they would keep her under the radar with her failed work at the u.n. her pushing for the Libyan war. Maybe they thought it would die there.

      I don’t know the answer to that question either, but perhaps they just felt they would get away with this just like they got away with everything else.

    All things being equal we have a new Teflon Don, and this one is head of the Chicago mafia. The media that did in Nixon no longer exists; job number one for today’s media is to cover the godfather’s ass with the character assassination of anyone on the right whose lips move. Welcome to he new America.

      You have that right, that is for sure! This media is more interested in protecting The One than anything else, so far they have been successful but their luck has to run out sometime, doesn’t it? Probably not, but I can hope so, right?

      Thank you! You are right; this regime tries to play a game of sleight of hand but we must always remember to stay focused no matter what they throw at us, and it is plenty.

        Let’s not forget that any politician questioning this president’s or anyone in his administration’s scandalous behavior is treading on thin ice. With the vacuous electorate under the spell of the liberals and their lies any elected official’s seat can be lost for simply doing their job.
