Jennifer Rubin; BREAKING: The president knew the truth about Benghazi "In a blockbuster report, John Solomon, the former Associated Press and Post reporter, has ferreted out the president’s daily brief that informed him within 72 hours of the Sept. 11 attack that the Benghazi attack was a jihadist operation." The following article quotes from Rubin's piece:
Rick Moran; President's Daily Brief after Benghazi called the attack 'terrorism' "This is a case when the administration believed what it wanted to believe both for political and diplomatic reasons. But there's never a good reason to lie to the American people - especially when the deaths of 4 of our countrymen are being discussed. The PDB proves that the Obama administration has not been forthcoming in explaining how they arrived at the conclusion that the anti-Muslim film was to blame for the attack and not well armed terrorists.
"The issue will not go away anytime soon."
Conservative Daily News; Go After Obama "Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified Friday that “Al Qaeda involvement” references were removed from the CIA’s original talking points, which had indicated that the CIA knew immediately that an Al Qaeda linked group was responsible for the 9/11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which led to the brutal murder of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
...."Since objecting to the policies and/or behavior of any “progressive” is instantly trumpeted as “sexist”, “racist” ..., such declarations should be summarily ignored. ... Criticizing Rice has been declared “sexist” and “racist”. Logically, going after Obama will only be deemed “racist.”
"In their ongoing efforts to uncover the ugly truth, Senate and House investigators should go after Obama. After all, in Thursday’s press conference he asked for it."
Laughingstock: Taliban Official Mocks Petraeus Affair
Now let's check in on those who advise President Obama:
Debbie Schlussel; Petraeus Opposed Drone Strikes Because They Offend Muslims, Nixed Hits on Several Terrorists "For those who don’t get it, “diplomatic sensitivities” means: “I don’t wanna upset Muslims in power by killing Islamic terrorists, so I think I’ll let them live to kill more Americans.” In case you doubt that, remember that “diplomatic sensitivities” was the reason America didn’t kill Osama Bin Laden when we saw him hunting with some princes from the United Arab Emirates (which also would have spared many American lives lost)."

Max Boot writes about Petraeus’s Phony Critics "The most unseemly aspect of the scandal surrounding David Petraeus is the gleeful Schadenfreude being exhibited by so many who are eager to kick a great man when he is temporarily down. One of the most egregious and nauseating examples is this New York Times op-ed by Lucian Truscott IV entitled “A Phony Hero for a Phony War.” It is insulting not only to Petraeus but to all those men and women who have served valiantly and at great risk in Iraq and Afghanistan."
