A funny thing happened on the way to Benghazi. Republicans and Fox News forgot to check on who got killed, where they got killed, what day they got killed, and who they worked for.
I just can't wait for the Republican Trey Gowdy's new Super-Duper, "Non-Partisan", Blue Ribbon Panel with Whipped Cream, Sprinkles and a Cherry on Top to subpoena 4 Star and CIA Director, General David Petraus. Is Fox New's New Enemy #1 going to be America's favorite 4 Star General & CIA Head David Petraus?
Why?
Because two of the four people killed, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty, weren't really State Department employees, weren't killed in a State Dept. facility, and weren't killed at the same time as the State Dept. personnel.
According to sworn US Senate Testimony from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 4 Star General and CIA Head David Petraeus, Mr. Woods and Mr. Doherty were CIA operatives, and were killed in a separate attack on a separate CIA facility, on the day following the attack on State Dept facilities on September 12, 2012.
And who did they work for? One of America's most beloved Generals, 4 Star General General David Petraus, CIA Director from September 6, 2011 to November 9, 2012. The attack on Benghazi's State Department Facility was on was on September 11th, 2012, and the attack on Benghazi's CIA Facility was on the following day, September 12th.
I'd personally find it repugnant to question the integrity of General Petraeus, whose distinguished career included Commanding US Forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and many other distinguished positions.
I can only wonder how many active duty US Military and retired US Military personnel are now unknowingly slandering General Petraeus each and every time they accuse Hillary Clinton of semi-treasonous actions in Benghazi. As usual, Fox News didn't make the effort to find out what happened, and failed to mention General Petraeus's involvement in Benghazi.
Is this really a path that the Republican Party and their mouthpiece Fox News wants to go down? Did they even think about it before they revived this controversy?
Are Fox News and Republicans going to accuse General Petraeus of being a liar? Will they accuse General Petraeus of poor judgement and leadership? Will they accuse General Petraeus of not warning his subordinates in the CIA of an impending attack after the State Department facility was attacked on the previous day? Will they ask General Petraeus why the CIA, America's premier intelligence gathering agency, didn't do more to warn the State Department of an impending attack? Will they ask General Petraeus why he didn't stand along with Hillary Clinton when the bodies of the fallen were returned to the US?
Will they ask why General Petraeus didn't ask for more funds to beef up security at his facilities like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did? Will they ask why General Petraeus resigned from his position as head of the CIA shortly after the attack?
Will Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham now start referring to General Petraeus as a "scumbag", a term he used publically last week to attack President Obama for his "coverup"? Will Fox News ask Senator Graham if he and Senator McCain made a mistake when they skipped the classified briefing on Benghazi that they insisted on, to hold a slanderous Press Conference? What new whopper of a story will Fox News invent to try to weasel out of this one?
