No.
They will try to hang this on Petraeus. This would have been the plan all along.
Soros has wanted his hide for a long time. Petraeus is going to be the target here.
Petraeus would have known of the attack within the hour. Embassy communications would have been direct.
Simply put, who is the Congressional source? Someone from the Rosa Brooks side of DoD? The Muslim Staffers Association? One of the 45 resumes? A Keith Ellison staffer?
This is absolute bullsh!t. Petraeus does not abandon his men.
Intelligence didn’t tell them? No, H3ll and 0bama duked it out yesterday and came up with a surrogate.
No way did Petraeus not inform. But who was not at Intelligence briefings? FOR A WEEK? Did Petraeus brief an empty set of chairs?
This situation establishes plausible deniability for 0bama and H3ll, and due to classification and exec privilege, can be hidden from view.
Plane Shot Down Over Rebel-Held City on Libya

BENGHAZI, Libya — A plane has been shot down over the main rebel-held city in eastern Libya.
An Associated Press reporter saw the plane go down in flames outside Benghazi early Saturday after the area came under shelling.
A black cloud went up over the city’s southern outskirts.
Muammar Qaddafi’s government declared a cease-fire Friday in an attempt to outmaneuver Western military intervention. But the opposition has been saying shells rained down well after the announcement and accused the Libyan leader of lying.

Obama Arming Al Qaeda? That’s the likely outcome of his Libya war.

White House sources confirm that in the run up to the decision to involve U.S. military personnel, President Obama was fully briefed that a large portion of the Libyan rebel forces most active in areas around such critical cities as Benghazi had ties to al Qaeda, particularly Al Qaeda in Iraq, the wing of the terrorist group that killed hundreds of U.S. troops in Iraq....
“Secretary Clinton knows it, the White House knows it, but we’re working with these thugs anyway because the President thinks it’s the moral thing to do in the face of Gaddafi.”

Weekend media reports showed al-Qaida’s flag flying in central Benghazi, and noted that Libyan anti-aircraft missiles had been purchased by terror groups, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday the administration has not been surprised by news reports from Libya.
“I’m not aware of anything that has been reported that has surprised us out of Libya,” Carney said during a morning press briefing.
White House officials have not responded to The Daily Caller’s request for an explanation of Carney’s statement.

Saudi Arabia and Bin Laden provided cash and the figurehead, but Egypt and especially the area around Benghazi provided much of the operational leadership and foot soldiers for the movement when it was at its height before 9-11.

September 11, 2012 - and Obama Apologizes

Obama Record: Four Americans are killed in Libya, our consulate burned and our Egyptian embassy stormed on the anniversary of 9/11 after we apologize for a film allegedly “insulting to Islam.” Arab Spring, Mr. President?
Maybe President Obama shouldn’t have skipped all those national intelligence briefings. The burning of our Libyan consulate in Benghazi, the murder of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others, including two U.S. Marines, and the storming of our embassy in Egypt after our diplomats apologized for a film made in the U.S. should show just who is the foreign policy novice in the 2012 presidential campaign.
The Obama administration is attempting to walk back the damage done by an apology issued by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo for a 14-minute trailer for a film called “The Innocence of Muslims” posted on YouTube, part of a two-hour, little-seen film produced by Sam Bacile, a 52-year-old California real estate developer who identifies himself as an Israeli Jew.
As the late, great Andrew Breitbart famously said in a tweet to someone who demanded he apologize for this or that, “Apologize for what? Should we apologize for the exercise of free speech in a democracy?”
Yet that is what the U.S. Embassy in Cairo did.
“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions,” the statement read in part. It went on to say that the U.S. “firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
This craven statement that the Obama administration has disavowed was issued before the embassy attack in Cairo where a mob stormed the compound...

I just saw that Egypt had been warned of an attack on the embassy.

The Egyptian Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper reportedly obtained a copy of a top secret letter addressed to Major General Samy Sedhom, first assistant Interior Minister for Social Security, on September 4, which stated that intelligence services notified the ministry’s national security body that elements from the organization in Egypt and Gaza were planning attacks on the two embassies.
Security sources said the letter was forwarded to Egyptian security officials, informing them to undertake the necessary measures. The sources added that Military Intelligence informed the Interior Ministry one week ago that 22 terrorists in Sinai are planning to attack vital facilities and police checkpoints, according to the Egypt Independent.
they had warnings galore. AND it appears that it was well planned-

COLONEL: HILLARY MADE DECISION NOT TO POST MARINES AT BENGHAZI

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt laid the blame for the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the Benghazi, Libya American mission on Hillary Clinton and the State Department: The State Department just allowed our guys to get killed. If you approve no bullets in guns for the mission security guards and an outhouse for a mission, you’re inviting it. Earlier, on Howie Carr’s radio show Thursday, Colonel Hunt said that the American mission at Benghazi “was like a cardboard building, there wasn’t even bullet proof glass.” In addition, Hunt said the security guards inside the mission didn’t have bullets: Howie Carr: They weren’t allowed to have bullets, is that correct? Colonel Hunt: That’s true. They were private security. The rules of engagement were ridiculous. Hunt told Breitbart News that the new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, approved and signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the 2011 fall of Khadafi’s regime, severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.

Have you ever wondered why Hillary selected Thomas Pickering to chair the investigation, and to include General Mullen - the man who called the Coptic Christian on the phone - don’t know who the others are on the panel but Thomas Pickering is an “old friend” of Hillary’s. She called him that at an award dinner for the International Crisis Group. I’ve been reading up on him and finding some interesting things. I just don’t have enough time at the moment as I’m moving but thought this might interest you. If it does I have some material I gathered from some time ago. I wasn’t surprised about the skirmish between Syria (Shi’a) and Turkey. I’m figuring the end game is an Ottoman II caliphate...
Here’s a tidbit from, of all places, CNN:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/15/world/meast/libya-diplomats-warning/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
Three days before the deadly assault on the United States consulate in Libya, a local security official says he met with American diplomats in the city and warned them about deteriorating security.
Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security.
He said they told the diplomats that the security situation wasn’t good for international business.
“The situation is frightening, it scares us,” Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He did not say how they responded.
Here is more on just how incompetent Obama and his administration are! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8407047/Libyan-rebel-commander-admits-his-fighters-have-al-Qaeda-links.html So it appears that Al Qaeda linked fighters are in Libya! It appears that only now are these facets of the problem in Libya being brought to the fore front. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/12/libya-al-qaeda_n_1878412.html There were two attacks on Western Diplomats in Libya in June of this year. One on the Compound in Benghazi and one on the British Ambassador. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/11/us-libya-attack-britain-idUSBRE85A0TV20120611 5 days later there was an attack on the US Embassy at Benghazi in Libya. The leader of Al Qaeda asked for attacks to avenge the death of a Libyan Al Qaeda leader 24 hours before the Benghazi attack that killed ambassador Stevens. We know Obama was busy healing the earth, lowering the sea level and campaigning in Vegas or playing golf but maybe he should have attended a few more security briefings! Yes the attacks had been planned and I believe Al Qaeda had inside coordination with Libyan security forces!
State department’s agenda ..pandering to Islam
Two days after 9/11 embassy attacks, Hillary Clinton hosted Muslim holiday celebration in DC
Do you know EXACTLY how many Libyan security personnel were guarding the perimeter on the night of the attack??? In the beginning, Obama and his minions claimed it was around 30. It was actually EIGHT!!
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/09/13/168415/no-protest-before-benghazi-attack.html
A Libyan security guard who said he was at the U.S. consulate here when it was attacked Tuesday night has provided new evidence that the assault on the compound that left four Americans dead, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was a planned attack by armed Islamists and not the outgrowth of a protest over an online video that mocks Islam and its founder, the Prophet Muhammad.
The guard, interviewed Thursday in the hospital where he is being treated for five shrapnel wounds in one leg and two bullet wounds in the other, said that the consulate area was quiet – “there wasn’t a single ant outside,” he said – until about 9:35 p.m., when as many as 125 armed men descended on the compound from all directions.
The guard, who said he’d been hired seven months ago by a British company to protect the compound, said the first explosion knocked him to the ground, and he was unable to fire his weapon. Four other contracted guards and three members of Libya’s 17th of February Brigade, a group formed during the first days of the anti-Gadhafi uprising and now considered part of Libya’s military, were protecting the outside perimeter of the compound.

Apologies for the thread hijack.
Must put down the keyboard.
I am ready to cock someone right in their kissers.
You have a lot more info. and sources on this than I do (but now I do too!) Great work, and thanks!
Now, here’s my question. Doesn’t Rep. Issa need to be putting Petraeus in front of his committee, up front and center, as soon as possible?
