(I should note that we don't get Fox news in the Philippines, so if this is old news, I apologize).
but now it turns out that the real story is on youtube, unnoticed until the Petreus love scandal hit the fan and someone noticed she spilled the beans last month in a speech to her university.
Youtube video here.
the Benghazi part is at 31 minutes.
story from Israel national news that inlcude part of the transcript.
Broadwell was speaking at her alma mater, the University of Denver, on October 26....(and) confirmed the reports on Fox News that the CIA annex asked for a special unit, the Commander in Chief's In Extremis Force, to come and assist it. She also said that the force could indeed have reinforced the consulate, and that Petraeus knew all of this, but was not allowed to talk to the press because of his position in the CIA....
"They were requesting the – it's called the C-in-C's In Extremis Force – a group of Delta Force operators, our very, most talented guys we have in the military. They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex. Now, I don't know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an attempt to get these prisoners back. It's still being vetted.
"The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus is that in his new position, he's not allowed to communicate with the press. So he's known all of this – they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening."
Heads up GatewayPundit.
formerspook has a couple posts on the affair of the affair for more background on the many problems of the story, and how Petreus' resignation might prevent Congress and the public from knowing the truth.
