Clinton, Rice and Petraus need to resign and Obama impeachment needs to begin.

And why, as late as September 25, was Obie spouting the "video" story in front of the General Assembly of the United Nations?

Nice Jennifer Boobin at least knows this story isn't going away. We won't let it go away until the responsible party is in jail or out of a job.

State watched the attack and did nothing,
Why didn't we at least send something-anything to the attack even a F-15 doing low level sonic booms would be better than nothing.
Our base in Sicily is not six hours away..
Murder most foul..

General is apparently seeking a colleges presidency position since he knows BO's done. Princeton was a rumor two weeks ago, probably by Muchelle & Val Jar to ensure the Director of the CIA's silence on the Benghazi lies. He faces a second income hit as his silence on BO's multiple failures seems to have been bought by having Elizabeth Warren appoint Petraeus' wife to a top spot in the new Consumer Protection unit of Dodd-Frank in 2011. So, for a little bit of Chicago to supplement his military pension, the Director seems willing to be a silent witness to a disastrous national security policy.

I'm not excusing the general's absence from the Benghazi discussion since he went on thr video bandwagon, but I think he's got a communication plan almost ready to execute. He's no dummy, and I seriously doubt he'd sell out for thirty pieces of silver.

The response to anything by the Obama minions is always based upon their assumption that the media will cover their corruption. Therefore they lie with impunity full knowing they will have plenty of amplification of their story line. Their response many times is simply a denial of the obvious truth and the liberal media takes their story and runs with it as an advocate assuming most citizens are either blindly loyal to Obama, ignorant or stupidly gullible. And usually they are right.

Agree with Poster #5. Where was the military response? The attack took place over a period of six hours. With the assets in the Med, in Sicily and Italy, the poster is right... even low-flying aircraft with sonic booms would have been better than nothing.

Outrageous.

Just a short while ago many on this forum were advocating for Petraus as Romney's VP choice. He sold out to Obama and continues to protect him in the runnup to the election. Reminds me of Powell.

Personally, I believe that Petraus is just being a good soldier. It's what he has done his entire career. I would not expect him to speak up.

It's great to read Rubin's blogs on Saturday and Sunday in the election runup. She is clearly a smart and hard working woman. She said on Kudlow that she has been following the election minute by minute for the last year and a half. Clearly, one of the best people in the press helping me understand what is going on.

Being a GOOD soldier is not speaking up.

Being a GREAT soldier is speaking up.

@#10: Just for the record, Patraeus is no longer a soldier. He `is` the Director of the CIA and therefore has a duty to stand up and tell what he knows. Until he does, we can only assume he was also asleep at the wheel like the rest of this regime.

He is now Obie's soldier as head of the CIA. He has appeared to be an Obot for some time now. I have never been as wowed with him as some have, and I never ever would have wanted him anywhere near the White House, especially Jobs #1 and #2.

The military service does not always build strength. Sometimes - often? - the suckups prevail.

So sorry to see Petraeus take this road. The appt of his wife says it all. Not in the league of Grant, Patton, and McArthur. Just a self-serving wuss in the end.

Can any lefty please explain to me how Bush can be responsible for everything that went wrong in NOLA during Katrina, but Obama has no responsibility for his Administration's failure in Libya?

The silence of Petraeus makes me guess that he holds a trump card in this mess and everyone is afraid he will play it.

But that may just be a romantic notion, maybe he was told, or chose, to shut up and did.

The WH and Biden and State have been pathetic. All sorts of leaks and intermediates lying about anything and everything.

Congress will get nowhere, which is more or less the 21st Century definition of Congress.

It almost seems a deliberate strategy to make the mess so confusing that the public cannot be sure of anything. Thus blame is focused on no one, no errors were ever made, nothing is tangible, and can't we just move along.

Real soon now Obama will have drones kill a few dozen people said to be responsible. They will probably be nomads with a dozen camels trudging toward an oasis.

The Dir. of the CIA reports to the Senate Select Commtt. but the CIA is an executive agency. So Gen. Pray-Tell-Us is controlled by the dems. Leaks seem to be the only out.

Lots of legitimate questions on Benghazi, but I'm getting the feeling that Cairo is being forgotten. It's almost as if Hillary is being tossed to the wolves to keep the focus on Benghazi. Here are a few questions about Cairo for my favorite WP blogger:

Why did the US embassy in Cairo issue a statement condemning a Youtube video BEFORE the protests even began (Check Max Fisher's Atlantic article from 9/13)?
How early did anyone in the US government find out about the planned Cairo protests, from whom, and what plans were laid by Obama political operatives to exploit the planned 9/11 protests for his presidential campaign?
When was his UN speech written?

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an independent civilian intelligence agency of the United States government. It is an executive agency and reports directly to the Director of National Intelligence, (James Clapper)with responsibility for providing national security intelligence assessment to senior United States policymakers.

Clapper and his minions are yet to be heard from. It will be interesting to hear their explanation of how they deemed the video was the igniter for the "mob" that stormed the woefully under protected ambassador,and why he let the White House continue with the absurd notion that the video and a mob were to blame for over two weeks when his minions had a direct feed and on the ground reports showing that was not the case. Clapper should resign his position immediately for incompetence.


Issa will never be able to quiz him about the affair anyway. There will be presidential roadblocks and slow boating that will make the Eric Holder affair seem like child's play.
