Re: Benghazi Smoking Gun???

Could Petraeus come back to testify against the Obama admin?
Quote:
Speaking for the White House, the flack [Jay Carney] said the CIA was fully to blame for the talking points. Fully. “That is what was generated by the intelligence community, by the CIA,” he said.
For the record, this is what the CIA “generated”:
“Since April, there have been at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi by unidentified assailants.” That line was stricken: Everything was fine there — fine fine fine.
And: “We do know that Islamic extremists with ties to Al Qaeda participated in the attack.” That line, too, was deleted by … someone. Instead, this was inserted: “There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.”
|
Quote:
the White House has picked a very bad scapegoat: the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA follows RFK’s edict: “Don’t get mad, get even.” And when the CIA gets even, it isn’t pretty.
|
Quote:
With the White House putting all blame on the agency, expect push back this week — nuclear push back. Gen. David H. Petraeus, the former director forced to resign after a sex scandal, is a dangerous man to the Obama administration. Mad and intent on getting even, he’s already talking, telling one reporter the talking points were “useless” and that he preferred not to use them at all. The floodgates will open this week, and by the end of business Friday, the scandal will be full blown.

I would love to see the General testify.

All irrelevant to my question. I'm trying to find out something about YOU, and I did. Your refusal to answer the question proves you have zero integrity.

To me the highlighted part of your answer is an admission that people higher up the chain of command are guilty but that someone on a lower level will take the hit. You know at best for Obama and Hillary it looks bad, but your blind partisanship prevents you from embracing honesty and integrity in government over party bias.

Re: Benghazi Smoking Gun???
The impact of editing the talking points? Maybe telling lies, or covering up the truth to perpetuate a false narrative?
Does truth matter to you DM?

Re: Benghazi Smoking Gun???
Obama is now speaking about Benghazi, saying we shouldn't politicize this.

I hope he testifies and without hesitation reveals the truth. I wouldn't be surprised if his affair was revealed to dispose of him.

Man, I almost forgot about the affair. With the use of the IRS and possibly the Labor Dept to target opponents, it would not surprise me if his affair was used to get rid of him.

Now y'all done did it. All these hearings and slightly tougher questions from the press did it.
You made the President cry. *sniffle*
