Well there is so much that does not look so good for the administration, to be honest I really don't know how they can come out looking acceptable. Anyway hopefully there is some form of objective reporting inside the actual hearings, otherwise the truth will definitely get bamboozled. I have confidence after the last hearing and the quality of depth in complaint, all concerned in the investigation will do an excellent job.
I'm very confident the issue will be fully sorted out for exactly what transpired. Reason being there is nothing but consistency in all the very compelling and known hard facts. Theres nothing mysterious in the whole development of this tragedy which is what they are trying to suggest, in the idea of an investigative effort.
The developing and ongoing claims that we were asked to consider, basically do nothing but contradict each other. Even the idea of an investigation which takes more then a day, strongly suggests that not only another similar event could be in motion now, but there is no grasp in the order of quickly addressing serious threatening issues. So the investigative stall and congestion in of itself, works against the objective to appear in keeping with duty.The framework for what happened needs an investigation? hmmm
A frame which is in place for national security needs months to untangle? That alone is inconceivable and contradicts all responsibilities. They will need to show what was read, what was said that without an investigation or thought easily in less then a day adamantly insisted the attack was due to a home movie. IOW...even if a note or word mentioned the known home movie ( which I doubt)... but what we need to know is where is the content, where is the note that gave sufficient "compelling evidence" to instantly declare to the world that "in fact the attack was due to a home movie"
What did you read allowing this full judgment call, a dangerous call as if you believed true, "then why, would you draw the worlds attention to a believed trigger which caused such violence, if true how could you not expect multiple re-occurences by the said, globally distributed and believed merit of this cause..?
Not to mention the most important re the "refusal to either send more help or give permission for the Ambassador to leave his post...The Ambassador and all stood in dedication and loyal service, and agreed to those terms only, in the understanding they were part of a team. The whole thing is so ridiculous a good exposure of everything would take a few days to organize. I have really super confidence in a full and exact uncovering of this entire incident.
To myself, that would be one of the cornerstone building blocks from which to lead toward, and lead from in argument. The world deserves an answer. Many countries as far as Australia experienced some costly havoc and social unrest. This is without a doubt damage that requires reparation in honesty to the world on behalf of the Country. And honor for lives lost.
Hopefully a set of questions is arranged in a clear way, and the investigation is solid. I have good confidence it will be thorough, I thought reporters with all the many opportunities to put this to Obama and Carney ect would have continuously asked for an answer to this telling question. My guess is an answer will be required and they will do a good job. Just wish like everyone else I could watch the thing. Oh well another day.

It least he manned up to the truth like a real soldier instead of lying like a coward politician being Clinton saying I did not have sexual relations with that woman. He get's my respect for being straight forward about it.
boy, I had not thought about Vince Foster in a long long time, yes indeed that was truly sad, wasn't it...and that is the problem, people forget, and when she runs next election....well, I won't be voting for her...

Hmmm... Cantor was tipped off about Petraeus in OCTOBER!
Buried in yesterday's NYT article about the Petraeus affair, is this tidbit:
In October, GOP Congressman Dave Reichart was notified by a " whistle blower" that Petraeus was being investigated by the FBI because of an affair. The informant wanted to make sure US House leadership was aware, due to "national security".
Reichart notified Eric Cantor, who then contacted the FBI. Cantor says the FBI told him they could not confirm or deny... etc.
- Cantor KNEW about Petraeus in Oct. Did he notify the Romney campaign?
- According to all sources, no one in the Obama Admin found out till ELECTION DAY, when the FBI finally notified NSA Clapper!
It's hard to believe Cantor DIDN'T give Rommey a heads up. It would have been political malpractice not to.
That tells me, the Romney team probably looked at this, and decided there was nothing there helpful to their cause, in regards to Benghazi, or they would have used it.
But this investigation has been ongoing for MONTHS, not weeks- and all kinds of people KNEW. NOBODY FROM THE FBI NOTIFIED ANYONE IN THE ADMINISTRATION FOR A PERIOD OF MONTHS THAT THE CIA CHIEF WAS ON THE ROPES???
And the GOP House leadership had this info since October... and SAT ON IT???
In fact, the whole thing can be easily explained with one simple fact: take a look at General Petraeus's wife. Then you will understand why he cheated.
Why does Petraeus' resignation, mean that he suddenly can't testify about Benghazi?
General David Petraeus abruptly announced he had had an affair and resigned as head of the CIA a few days ago. And practically the first response anybody came out with, was Sen. Diane Feinstein's (D-CA) announcement that Petraeus, who had been scheduled to testify before Congress on the terrorist attacks on our consulate in Benghazi Libya, now would not testify.
Huh?
I don't get it. What does Petraeus' resignation have to do with being qualified to testify?
Did anybody in our intrepid press corps ask Sen. Feinstein where she got that conclusion?
Feinstein is the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee that is holding the hearings in the Senate. Has she deigned to tell us WHY she felt that Petraeus should now change his plans about testifying?
Among many strange things in Petraeus' sudden, surprise resignation, this question is probably the most baffling. Can anyone think of ANY reason why Petraeus' resignation, should inexplicably cause his testimony to be cancelled?

Probably because Petraeus as a civilian, he would not have any CIA materials on hand as he would be denied access to those documents on Benghazi to bring to the hearing. But he still can get a subpoena to testify. He would have to go by memory alone when answering questions. He could say 'I don't remember, I don't have access to documents on hand" or something to that extent.
