PETRAEUS BLOWS A HOLE IN GOP CONSPIRACY THEORY ON BENGHAZI ATTACK

For the record, I had a security clearance to handle classified material when I was in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953.

I was investigated by the FBI before the security clearance was issued to me. 

David Petraeus appeared Friday before the Congressional committee looking into what happened in Benghazi, Libya when four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, were killed.

Petraeus made it clear that the sensitive material on the Benghazi raid by terrorists aligned with Al Qaeda went through a checking process to make sure nothing in the material could be used to alert the group that conducted the raid and that U.S. intelligence agencies knew who they were, before the final unclassified material was given to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

Rice subsequently only repeated what the CIA and other intel agencies approved before she appeared on 5 TV shows two months ago to explain what the White House knew at the time of her TV appearances.

There was nothing nefarious about what Ambassador Rice said or how the Obama White House had edited the "talking points" presented by Rice to the American public through her multiple appearance on Sunday morning TV political shows. 

Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsay Graham and many in the Republican Party are now left with egg on their faces in their rush to judgement when they didn't know all the facts until Petraeus set the record straight during the Congressional hearings on the Benghazi, Libya attack on September 11, 2012.

DAVID PETRAEUS, who recently resigned at head of the CIA, will testify behind closed doors to a select committee of Congress on Friday on what he discovered happened before and during the attack on U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.

CNN is reporting in this video that CIA officials claim everything FOX NEWS has been reporting about the Benghazi attack is either false or a flat out lie. 

Republicans are desperately trying to pin what happened on President Obama, but like everything that takes place in a theater of war everything that has been said by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham is pure speculation or an attempt to muddy the waters using conspiracy techniques. 

It is very possible nobody will ever know for sure what happened to the four Americans who were killed in Benghazi because "the fog of war" is always guesswork at best. 

The major lesson to be learned from this Republican led dog and pony show is never trust FOX NEWS because they are not a news organization, but a propaganda arm of the Republican Party.

Remember this:  Close to 200 U.S. Marines were killed in Lebanon in 1983 when Ronald Reagan was President and nobody called for an investigation.

Also, over 4,700 young Americans were killed in the Iraq war started with lies by George Bush and Dick Cheney about Saddam Hussein having WMDs and a nuclear bomb and nobody called for an investigation when it was found Saddam Hussein didn't have WMDs or a nuclear bomb.
