Nope, my post was 100% accurate:The Liberals GOP Twin wrote: And DOG... what about Petraeus... once again you omit critical points...
In an email at 2:44 p.m. to Chip Walter, head of the CIA’s legislative affairs office, Petraeus expressed frustration at the new, scrubbed talking points, noting that they had been stripped of much of the content his agency had provided. Petraeus noted with evident disappointment that the policymakers had even taken out the line about the CIA’s warning on Cairo. The CIA director, long regarded as a team player, declined to pick a fight with the White House and seemed resigned to the propagation of the administration’s preferred narrative. The final decisions about what to tell the American people rest with the national security staff, he reminded Walter, and not with the CIA.

You're editing again.
David H. Petraeus, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, told lawmakers on Friday that classified intelligence reports revealed that the deadly assault on the American diplomatic mission in Libya was a terrorist attack, but that the administration refrained from saying it suspected that the perpetrators of the attack were Al Qaeda affiliates and sympathizers to avoid tipping off the groups.
Mr. Petraeus, who resigned last week after admitting to an extramarital affair, said the names of groups suspected in the attack — including Al Qaeda’s franchise in North Africa and a local Libyan group, Ansar al-Shariah — were removed from the public explanation of the attack immediately after the assault to avoiding alerting the militants that American intelligence and law enforcement agencies were tracking them, lawmakers said.

Oh that is rich......if anyone is playing politics with American security it's the GOP.....and the American people understand that. Yes, they agree we need to know what happened, and why.......but the witch hunt type atmosphere is turning people against the Republicans, whatever their supposedly noble motives. This may fire up their base, but it won't get them any new voters.

Actually the Benghazi mission was a CIA operation, not SOS.FredHayek wrote:

Well then Hilary showed poor delegation of her remaining funds, didn't she?
Most good managers do a better job with budget cuts than she did and would send extra security to an unstable nation like Libya.
Sorry Dog, just shows more incompetence in the White House.
