General Petraeus and the White House are desperately\u00a0trying to walk back the deliberate misrepresentations regarding Libya.\u00a0 Democrats appear to be following the Hillary Clinton tradition of the \u201cwilling suspension of disbelief.\u201d\u00a0 Hillary should know all about that, because when General Petraeus said the surge in Iraq was working, because the surge in Iraq was working, Hillary said she didn\u2019t believe him because that would require the \u201cwilling suspension of disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now General Petraeus is trying to pretend that in the briefing he gave congress on September 13th<\/sup> he reported that\u00a0this was a terrorist attack.\u00a0 If so, everyone misunderstood him, because several people who attended that briefing spoke to the press and they reported that Petraeus said it was caused by the video.<\/p>\n

Now Petraeus is saying he never thought it had anything to do with the video, but the CIA went along with the lie because they didn\u2019t want Ansar al-Sharia and al-Qaida to know we were on to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to alert them that U.S. intelligence was on their trail, according to lawmakers who attended Petraeus’ private briefings.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Give me a break.\u00a0 Within two hours the State Department sent out an e-mail specifically mentioning that the Libyan militant group Ansar al-Sharia had taken credit for the attack and called for additional terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

Let me summarize the Obama administration official explanation for lying:\u00a0 \u201cWe didn\u2019t want the group that confessed to attacking our Consulate to realize that we suspected them of attacking our Consulate.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This would be funny, if it wasn\u2019t so terribly sad.\u00a0 How many bald-faced lies are we going to be told before some Democrat has had enough?<\/p>\n
