Watching O’RILEY’s interview it’s good he’s tying Panetta into a Pretzel! Now on to Bengazi!

“Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said he knew Benghazi was a “terrorist attack” from the beginning,....”

Damn, I must have missed Lying Leon’s press conference at the time!

Panetta says he believes the two CIA guys.

He claims the president said we need to do everything we can to help. They told the president there was an attack and terrorists may be involved.

Now being asked about Susan Rice and what he thought. Thought she was reciting CIA talking points, ignoring Gen Dempsey and Panetta.

Panetta immediately had no question that it was a terrorist attack.

I change my mind it won’t be Clinton / Warren it will be Clinton / Panetta. He is trying to look like the wise adult with international and defense gravitas and snooker the Catholic vote to boot. He is trying to be Cheney’s Mini-Me, Gag me...

If he knew, then Hillary knew.

Peon stated that he and Hillary were insisting there was an attack and a response was needed. He also stated that she had no prior knowledge that an attack was planned.

Mr Panetta is not telling the truth, that order was given when they received "that phone call”. What other phone call would he be talking about. Will O’Rielly's "revered" research team catch that for him? Bill already missed his chance...

“Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way”

Is he thinking people will forget that Hillary! was a party to the Fantastic Fib?

If so, he's probably right.

Krauthammer translating Panetta’s narrative into the truth. O’Reilly uncharacteristically let him go on, uninterrupted.

He’s a proxy for Billary. If that was not his primary interest he would have waited until the POTUS he served was out of office before writing his tell-all book. He’s running a proxy “cover” campaign for Billary.

Megan Kelly analyzing and critiquing the Panetta interview. Hannity will probably hammer on it as well.

So, Panetta is a liar.

He was either lying then, or lying now.

Of course, it’s obvious that he was lying then.

Yep, funny how Krauthammer put together another example of bad judgement and poor decisions using the Ukraine example.

Also Panetta admits to getting an order “to do everything possible” to save the Personal in Bengazi, he’s just trying to say it happened at the 5pm meeting, but that order was given at 3:40pm on the east coast, when the state department acknowledges Washington got “that phone call”.

And just what did the Defense Secretary Panetta do “to do everything possible”?

Initial phone call to Washington(which would have been approx 9:40pm at the consulate);
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2012/10/198791.htm

SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL:“...I neglected to mention from the top that that agent from the top of this incident, or the very beginning of this incident, has been on the phone. He had called the quick reaction security team, he had called the Libyan authorities, he had called the Embassy in Tripoli, and he had called Washington.”

Greg Gutfeld tore Panetta apart on The Five last night. Says if Panetta knew, he should have spoken up at the time, and not held onto the knowledge until he released his book to get a profit. More or less calling out Panetta for the jerk he is.
