First detail they took care of was neutering Gen. Petraeus.

In the limited excerpts published Friday from Clinton’s Benghazi chapter, the former secretary of State continued to defend the administration from what she termed a “political slugfest.”
Specifically, she defended the flawed explanation -- used by then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack -- that an obscure anti-Islam video fueled a protest gone awry in Benghazi.
"There were scores of attackers that night, almost certainly with differing motives," Clinton wrote, according to Politico. "It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video.It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were. Both assertions deny not only the evidence but logic as well."
Further, she reportedly wrote that Rice relied on existing intelligence in making her statements.
But former CIA deputy director Mike Morell, who now works for Clinton's principal gatekeeper Philippe Reines at the D.C. consulting firm Beacon Global Strategies, testified in April that it was Rice who linked the video to the Benghazi attack. Morrell, who still faces allegations he misled Congress over the so-called talking points, said the video was not part of the CIA analysis as Clinton seems to suggest.
Morell told members of the House Intelligence Committee that Rice’s claims about the attacks evolving from a protest were “exactly what the talking points said, and it was exactly what the intelligence community analysts believed.”
However, he said: “When she talked about the video, my reaction was, that's not something that the analysts have attributed this attack to."
An independent review of more than 4,000 social media postings, conducted by a leading social media monitoring firm in December 2012, also found the YouTube video was a non-event in Benghazi.

There was no surprise about the attack. There was no 'failure of intel.' The attack was predicted in precise detail a month before it occurred. The draw down of security had to be intentional.
CIA Sources: Obama ordered military not to help Ambassador Stevens
The failure to approve a rescue had to be intentional.
Sources: Key task force not convened during Benghazi consulate attack
Keeping the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) in the dark about the attack had to be intentional.
Tweeting apologies for the 'anti-Muhammed video' beginning early that morning, repeatedly blaming all the violence at all of our embassies on the 'video' and making an apology video to air in Pakistan had to be intentional.
Stevens presence in Benghazi on Sept. 11th had to be intentional.
Is that original Rueters reporter related to or married to a member of the 0 administration ? Do you have a name?
Years ago, there was much talk about how she would handle a 2AM call....
Benghazi was that call.
And as Allen West said, a ball team owner makes a private comment and he is vilified and banned from the game but the President of the United States repeatedly lies and lies - not to mention the squandering of billions of the citizen’s money and lives lost with his mis-adventures, and nothing happens.
Even a hell-spawned daughter of Satan can only stretch a lie so far.
The only thing in question was this "intelligence pulled out of Valerie Jarrett's ass, Hillary Clinton's ass, or Obama's ass? It may be an foul amalgamation of all three.
I have also noted the total silence of General Petraeus. He as the former head of the CIA knows everything. It is obvious he is being blackmailed. I would like to hear him testify with total immunity. Petraeus could bring down this administration in one day of testimony. I am talking impeachment and conviction. Impeachment and conviction means removal from office only. However, it does also opens the door to subsequent criminal prosecution after conviction.
“There is a difference between getting something wrong and
committing a wrong. A big difference that some have blurred
to the point of casting those who made a mistake as inten-
tionally deceitful.”
Hillary, you and the rest of your fellow scumbag Democrats
just couldn’t see your way clear to apply this viewpoint to
George W Bush and WMDs in Iraq, could you?
The Republicans are in conflict with the Muslim half of the world.
The Demon Ratz are at war with the patriotic half of America.
If Petraeus has already been fired for diddling his biographer, what else could they possibly have on him?
First detail they took care of was neutering Gen. Petraeus.
I’d change the order of words in the title along with the tense.
The most recent Rasmussen poll (5/28 - 5/30) has 48% approve 50% disapprove. How is that even remotely possible. That is good for Hillary who will run to fix Obamacare, etc. But they were all good ideas, just need a little tweaking.
I never recalled ANY of the protests in any city to be the result of a video. This came out of thin air...there we no signs about the video, nobody calling for the arrest of the maker, etc.
I’ve always thought this was odd, saying it was about a video with NO evidence anywhere...it is just an assertion.
It is a fact that Hillary and Obama knew immediately that the video had nothing to do with the attack in Benghazi. So, why did they make that commercial apologizing to the Moslems?
Because they were told to. It was part of the surrender deal at Benghazi that Obama agreed to. The Al Qaeda boys are smarter than Hillary and Obama gave them credit for. Treason is where United States citizens provide aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States. The money missing from the State Department and the American weapons mysteriously shipped into Libya and left unguarded so they could be “stolen” is providing aid. But the Al Qaeda boys wanted to ensure that Hillary and Obama violated the “comfort” part, too. So they told Hillary and Obama that they had to make and air that commercial apologizing to the Moslems. Think about it. Why did it HAVE to be Hillary and Obama in the commercial? It is because Al Qaeda wanted to have Hillary and Obama by the short hairs, and they do. She is literally fighting for her life. Treason is punishable by death. If she was smart, and I don’t think she is, she’d cut a deal with Gowdy tonight.
Bump.
“If Petraeus has already been fired for diddling his biographer, what else could they possibly have on him? “
I often wondered that. Whoever has the control of the NSA and its newfound powers could blackmail anyone in congress, the SC, even the head of the CIA...someone like Petraeus.
WOT or not, that was a dangerous overreaching power to create.
UNFIT for DOG CATCHER.
Thanks for that analysis blueunicorn6
