Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, who was formerly the State Dept. Site Security Team (SST) Commander at our Embassy in Libya, stated unequivocally before Issa's committee that he recognized "instantly" upon learning of the attack, what the true nature of the attack at the Consulate was. (I watched the entire hearing, on CSPAN's website, later.) Yet Petraeus was saying days later that Benghazi was an out-of-control demonstration prompted by the YouTube video?

This is almost unbelievable. It would seem to mean that Petraeus is willing to let himself and his people be thrown under the bus. Issa has to pursue this, from Petraeus on down, until someone who won't allow themselves to be sacrificed to save this foul administration is found.

I should add that I am shaken: I honestly thought much more of Petraeus than this. Maybe there is something more to his statements and motives than trying to save some political skins, but what could it be?

Agreed....Issa does need to keep digging. Diana West has an article about this, Benghazi Burns and Petraeus Goes to Princeton? Lots of embedded links with further info/speculation on Petraeus.
