You have no proof of this at all.

The final analysis is that the talking points given to Susan Rice DID NOT mention terrorist attack, but she did clearly state that the event was under investigation still.

Below is a quote of the talking points given to Susan Rice to use.
They are:

-- The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.

-- This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and as currently available information continues to be evaluated.

-- The investigation is ongoing, and the U.S. government is working with Libyan authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of U.S. citizens.

The truth is that Petraeus' comments were edited before they even made it to the White House.

The only edit the White House made was a "factual edit as to how to refer to the [Libyan] facility."

FOX News, CNN, and MSNBC quotes Rep. King, Republican Congressman from New York, as stating that immediately after the attack, the initial intel he received from Petraeus indicated that the Benghazi attack was "spontaneous".

"The clear impression that we were given was that this overwhelming amount of evidence was that it arose out of a spontaneous demonstration and it was not a terrorist attack."

Leon Pannetta and two Generals have already admitted that THEY WERE THE ONES who made the decision to not send in American troops to the situation in Benghazi. They made that decision because the intel they had was too sketchy and not enough to send more troops into harm's way.

Below is a link to Fox News' reporting of the news conference that I personally watched.

Interesting timeline presented by Breitbart. Note the reference to Petraeus for Sptember 14, 2012.
