Former CIA Director General Patraeus.<\/p><\/div>\n

By David Bryson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Article updated (see below).<\/em><\/p>\n

November 20, 2012<\/p>\n

Two coincidences are swirling around former CIA Director David Petraeus: that the Benghazi attack on September 11 had nothing to do with the eleventh anniversary of 9\/11 and Al Qaeda, and that knowledge of his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and his subsequent resignation, did not reach President Obama until after his re-election.<\/p>\n

The analysis below argues that both headline items were shaped by the battle for votes on November 6.<\/p>\n

Each of these headlines is either a convenient coincidence or a conspicuous conspiracy –\u00a0conspicuous because of the boatloads of videos, emails, and reports in the media.\u00a0 As I write this, the Wikipedia page<\/a> about Benghazi has 231 references.<\/p>\n

On September 14 Petraeus told Congress that the attack was akin to a \u201cflash mob\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0that is, utterly spontaneous.\u00a0 UN Ambassador Susan Rice went on all five Sunday talk shows on September 16 and, like Petraeus, claimed the Benghazi attack was due to anger at the anti-Muslim video and not pre-planned.\u00a0 It would appear that the White House arranged for her appearances and told her what to say.\u00a0 Petraeus also was told to pitch the party line.\u00a0 This is directly contradicted by eyewitness reports that the compound was quiet until about 9:30pm when heavily armed militants shouted \u201cAllah Akbar\u201d and blasted their way inside.<\/p>\n

About two hours later, the US State Department released an email stating Ansar al Sharia, the Al Queda affiliate in Libya, \u201cclaimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the UN on September 25 Obama said, \u201cThere is no video that justifies an attack on an Embassy.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a press conference on November 14, Obama said Ambassador Rice \u201chad nothing to do with Benghazi.\u201d Then why was she trotted out on the talk shows?<\/p>\n

So Petraeus and Rice and Obama himself were spinning a story in great contradiction to obvious facts.\u00a0 They never mentioned, and were never asked, about the 9\/11 anniversary.\u00a0 In reality it was payback from Al Qaeda for the raid on Osama, this time they killed US government employees on sovereign territory and, unlike the Twin Towers, they escaped unharmed.<\/p>\n

President Bush kept bragging there would be no second Al Qaeda attack after 9\/11; now one came on Obama\u2019s watch just two months before the election.\u00a0 The successful attack decimated Obama\u2019s constant refrain that Al Qaeda is \u201con the run,” red meat for the Republicans.<\/p>\n

Is it any wonder Petraeus and Rice were told to lie?<\/p>\n

About two weeks before the election, Republican challenger Mitt Romney was closing the gap.\u00a0 Then came Hurricane Sandy, which swept the Romney surge off the front page.\u00a0 The daily tracking polls for Romney flattened as Sandy struck.\u00a0 If the Petraeus matter had hit the news in the final few days before the election (US Rep. Eric Cantor called the FBI Director on October 31), this would have displaced Sandy as the top story and jeopardized his highly probable victory.\u00a0 Instead of \u201cneed to know,\u201d the Commander-in-Chief had a top-priority need NOT to know.<\/p>\n

So we are supposed to believe that no one told the President that his CIA director had committed a four-star, ten-out-of-ten embarrassment which in his phone call Cantor characterized as something with \u201cnational security vulnerability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attorney General Holder knew about Petraeus before the election, as did FBI Director Robert Mueller.\u00a0 Holder and Obama are deep friends and go back a long way.\u00a0 He may have whispered the Petraeus bomb to Obama before Election Day, but this we will never know.<\/p>\n

What is different about the two contradictions \u2013\u00a0the first surrounding the attack on 9\/11\/12 and the second timed to surface just after Obama\u2019s re-election was in the bag \u2013 is the massive availability of evidence to explode both.<\/p>\n

In 1980 there was talk of an \u201cOctober Surprise,” that Jimmy Carter might spring the Iranian hostages a few weeks before the election (which Reagan won). It never happened in October, and the hostages were released on Election Day.\u00a0 This time there was an unpleasant September Surprise in Benghazi, which caused the White House to panic and deny the obvious.\u00a0 Then there was a November Surprise, the dirty laundry of Petraeus, also timed to the victory of the front-runner.<\/p>\n

Update, 12\/2\/12: Proof of White House Deception<\/strong><\/p>\n

On November 27, Ambassador Rice met with three Republican Senators (Ayotte, Graham, McCain). After the meeting, Rice released a statement<\/a> to the press and public which stated that the initial talking points provided by the intelligence community \u201cwere incorrect in a key respect: There was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi.\u201d<\/p>\n

To repeatedly claim that something extraordinary happened, in broad daylight, and then to officially deny that it happened, is the easiest kind of lie to prove. The denial by Rice is a classic “smoking gun.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
