Head Of CIA Conveniently Resigns Just Before Benghazi Hearings Which Would Implicate Obama

November 11, 2012

Excerpt from:

"The Convenient Resignation of General Petraeus"

"....On the other hand, maybe his [Obama's] willingness to see the last of Petraeus had something to do with the statement that the CIA issued on October 26: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate."

This came after Fox News had reported that same day that "sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to ‘stand down' rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11."

But if it wasn't Petraeus who ordered that no help be given to Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff when jihadists attacked the embassy, the order would have had to come from someone who outranked even the director of the agency. Thus Petraeus's denial that the order had come from him pointed the finger directly at Barack Obama. And while the mainstream media buried that fact before the election, probably the House Foreign Affairs Committee would have asked Petraeus just who did give the order.

For surely it was just a coincidence that Petraeus resigned on Thursday, the very same day that Fox News reported that the Foreign Affairs Committee was planning to call him to testify at their Benghazi hearings, along with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Matt Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center..."
