| Scandal: David Petraeus´ admission that he knew almost immediately that Benghazi was a terrorist attack raises anew our question: Was he coerced into telling lawmakers Sept. 14 that it was caused by a video? The tangled web that is Benghazi-gate got more tangled Friday when, according to Rep. Peter King, David Petraeus testified in a closed-door hearing that his agency determined immediately after the Sept. 11 Libya attack that "al-Qaida involvement" was suspected — but that the line was taken out in the final version circulated to and by administration officials.

Blackmailed and/or bribed...Glenn Beck said a couple weeks ago that he was promised the Presidentcy of Princeton......
....and then was thrown under the bus as a delaying/confusing tactic.

I think people are reading way too much into Petraeus´s testimony. Basically all he acknowledged was that the attack wasn´t a street protest gone bad. There are press reports from 9/12 and 9/13 calling the attack a planned act of terrorism brought on by the video. These reports obviously were fed to the press by the administration. Rice still has plenty of cover. Turkey and General Counsel Akin are the key to this case.

If these details are true, it adds to my original suspicion of foreign involvement at play.

Congress needs to get General Ham who was relieved of his command at Africom as well as the admiral u der oath in testimony. Those two can tell us a lot of what was going on that night as well as the thuggery of Obama as his blatant disregard for the lives lost. They weren´t bumps in the road!

My guess is that ALIbama has moles placed in every government agency including the CIA. These plants know every move being made within these agencies and report directly to the man in the oval office. They are in a position to change any document that may be unfavorable to ´the man´ and, yes, even destroy documents if ordered to do so.
I hope that those who voted this worm in for four more years realize that you have a dictator sitting in the white house who has no intention of ever leaving that position and is slowly but surely taking away all of our rights.

Obama and is goons are trying to massage this story bit by bit to make themselves look truthful the whole time. Regardless of what we see today or tomorrow,this story is a ticking time bomb for Obama because he can´t cover all the tracks.
I´m actually angrier at Petraeus´s wife than I am him.She accepted a do nothing job she has no experience in at 180K a year.This is Chicago style buying up loyalty at taxpayers expense.
Another thing Obama has working against him now is that psychologically, since re-election,he owns the country and what comes along with it.
The liberals love pointing their fingers at a republican when something goes bad,just like trumka blaming Romney for Hostess going out of business when there´s no connection between venture capitalism and a company simply going under.

Thank you, 3, for that link to Debbie Schlussel´s blog.
I hope everyone takes the time to go to http://www.debbieschlussel.com/56333/jill-kelley-helped-muslim-nations-hezbollahs-lebanon-infiltrate-central-command-macdill-base-go-to-girl-for-muslim-parties-w-generals/ and read it, including comments.

Have You No Honor, Sir?
Petreaus Resignation Statement: "Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.... "
Apparently the behavior wasn´t "unacceptable" until he was caught, and on the brink of being exposed.
If he was truly an honorable man, he could have singlehandledly exposed the Obama administration at anytime after the Benghazi attack and BEFORE the November 6 election by setting the record straight as he countered their lies about Benghazi, the "stand down" order, the "video," the Susan Rice talk show evasion, and the myth of "Al Queda on the Run" while also revealing that he was directed to go along to get along, or have his affair exposed. He may not have been able to save his marriage, but he might have saved the country from four more years of a this horrific presidency. And really, would a man of honor really want to serve this President?

NOW this makes sense why obama put him in as head of CIA and removed him from his more appropriate and useful role as a soldier. A puppet in the cia who will be dedicated to YOUR safety and concerns and care nothing for the safety of this country. Wonder how many more people-in-important/powerful-positions and politicians, this gang in the whitehouse, have under their control through blackmail?

They had General P by the b-a-double hockey sticks and used him.
They all knew that a you tube video with less than a thousand views before the embassy was attacked was a lousy excuse, but they ran with it, and now we see how this power struggle has exposed a few other things.
We in the citizenry were given the old "bait and switch" which completely fails the test of "plausible deniability" by Obama putting pressure on him to change the report.
Oh no, we couldn´t have a "terrorist attack" by a weak president going into an election...

#6 - Actually, Ms. Petraus´ employment with the government is the same type work she was doing "unpaid" as an officer´s wife from the time he was a Lt. Col. or Squadron Commander. Responsibility falls to the Officers to be keeper of the flock whenever troops deploy and when not deployed; to maintain constant contact with all and supposed to be a "leader". Ms. Petraus´ experience qualified for her job, BUT, the pay was totally out of line IMO. IMO - we will eventually find out the WH knew back in May, if not before, of transgressions of Petraus´ private life and with Benghazi did use it to make him succumb to the story-line of the WH.

Scandal: A D.C.-based supervisor in the IRS´s tax-exempt status division has indicated during interviews with congressional investigators that the targeting was deliberate and not run by rogue agents in Cincinnati. Holly Paz, who until recently was a top deputy in the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status, told congressional investigators she was personally involved in reviewing Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status as far back as 2010, reviewing as many as 30. The involvement of Paz thickens the plot considerably and shatters the theory

Political Correctness: A member of the U.S. Army Band says he´s being reprimanded for having the wrong bumper stickers on his car, serving politically incorrect food at a party and reading books by conservative authors. It seems what we read isn´t just a question reserved by the IRS for its "special scrutiny" of Tea Party groups. Apparently in the U.S. Army the wrong answer to this question can lead to disciplinary action and charges by your superiors. Master Sgt.

Privacy: As long as we´re talking about leaks that should be prosecuted, let´s consider the leaking by the Environmental Protection Agency of the personal data about farmers to their environmentalist opponents. We saw such leaking of data compiled on one group to its political opponents in the IRS scandal. In that case, the IRS leaked the 2008 confidential financial documents of the National Organization for Marriage to the rival Human Rights Campaign. At that time, Joe Solmonese, a left-wing activist and Huffington Post contributor, was the president of the HRC. Solmonese also was a 2012 Obama campaign

War On Terror: The Army major on trial for murdering 13 at Ft. Hood in 2009 plans to argue that he acted in defense of the Taliban. So much for the administration calling the shootings "workplace violence." One of the great scandals of the Obama administration has been its shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in Killeen, Texas, by Maj. Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence."

Cyberwar: Chinese hackers have obtained the designs for more than two dozen major U.S. weapon systems, including the Navy´s missile defense system and our latest fighter. Our very national survival may soon be at risk. When President Barack Obama meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time on June 7-8 in California, we hope he will not bow but rather demand the Chinese stop their cyberwar against the U.S. that has reaped for them the designs for more than two dozen major weapon systems used by the U.S. military.

Benghazigate: The lack of a timeline for what the commander-in-chief was doing the night terrorists murdered our ambassador to Libya and three others is an "irrelevant fact," according to a key White House aide. Playing the role Sunday of former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who last Sept. 16 went on all five talk shows to parrot the administration line that Benghazi was provoked by a video, was White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer. Following in Rice´s footsteps, he announced that the details of where President Obama was and what he was doing that fateful night

Government Overreach: The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of tax-exempt organizations when the unit targeted Tea Party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for enforcing ObamaCare. As bad as the IRS scandal was, with the taxing body of government using its unequaled authority to intimidate and harass the president´s political opposition to aid his re-election, it got worse with the news that the IRS official, Sarah Hall Ingram, who served as commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entities Division from 2009 to 2012, is now serving as director of the IRS´ Affordable Care Act division.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
