Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified before a closed-door hearing today that references to "Al Qaeda involvement" were stripped from his agency's original talking points. Corroborated by other intelligence officials, this information strikes another blow at the Obama Administration's handling of the Benghazi Massacre. Now we know for certain that the CIA indicated in it's original memo that the attack was an "al qaeda related terrorist attack" and that they knew right away it wasn't because of a protest over a movie!
The officials were unable to say who changed the talking points. They went out to multiple departments, including the State Department, National Security Council, Justice Department, and White House. Rep. Peter King told Fox News, "I'd say it was somebody in the administration that had to have taken it out. That, to me, has to be pursued."
While it is a "smoking gun" that they were told it WAS a terrorist attack from the beginning by the CIA, proving that Jay Carney, Susan Rice, etc., were spreading a false story about the protest over a movie, I seriously doubt it will be pursued. Who's going to pursue it? The Republicans in the House? They're already being portrayed as "sore losers" in order to discredit them. The Obama Administration is beyond reproach at this point. Even if impeachment proceedings were begun by the House, the Harry "I can't" Reid led Senate would never impeach Obama no matter how damning the info is. Obama is safe.
And why did they lie about it being about a protest over an anti-Islam movie? Because they support blasphemy laws and need to begin to soften the public up over them. They can't get around the First Amendment without help from the sheeple.
