It's unfortunate that higher level military people disagree with you, like Gen. Petraeus.
The guy who was convicted of transporting confidential information, like Hillary?

A decent conspiracy has an element of fact.
The nuts tend to dismiss fact.
Not my problem.

Patraeus and I are two totally different people with two totally different perspectives.
I'm not beholden to political influence.
He is.

It appears you have missed the point.
You expect me to believe your words because of your experience and at the same time dismiss the experience and knowledge of someone at a much higher level of experience and knowledge because you think he is beholden to a political influence.
And you expect me to believe that you are not?
What a crock of #. That is cognitive dissonance at it's finest. Or at least a boat load of hypocrisy.
Take your pick. Either way, you have no credibility.
Congratulations.

They have access to the information to make that determination.
Our fellow member does not.
And you would know that with absolute certainty how?

Once again I wasn't an Obama Administration appointed CIA chief.
I'm a soldier with on the ground experience and have intimate knowledge of how these operations are supposed to be carried out.
You appealed to a logical fallacy and I am only pointing out that your expertise is limited compared to those that have more expertise and experience on the issue.
Following your logic, we should believe a higher ranked individual that actually oversaw the event in question.
You don't actually see how you shot yourself in the foot on this issue, do you?

Gotta love the Clinton News Network.
I love how she was trying to pigeonhole him into saying something he doesn't even want to talk about. Hillary Clinton was responsible for what happened in Benghazi and she lied to the families and she lied to America.
But let's make that about Trump.

Because SOP wasn't followed. In fact it was outright ignored in this case. 12 hours of ZERO support for a damned embassy. Why don't you understand that?

Yeah, a guy who is incompetent with classified material(seems to be a problem with the Obama/Hillary camp), lies and is an appointee of the Obama administration who was also responsible for lying about the cause.
To his credit at least he admitted that it was a terror attack and not a protest gone wrong.

You keep saying that. Which is kind of funny considering how many times you interjected your uninformed opinion on how military operations are supposed to be carried out.
With this train of logic, Hillary's email scandal had nothing illegal going on..Nevermind that with my clearance and access to information I'd be in jail right now if I had done the same thing.
Are we to take Hillary's example in how I should handle classified info? I mean, she's in a higher position than I am and certainly had access. Right?
Same goes for Patraeus.

What's funny is that you expect me to believe your anecdotal evidence, yet dismiss that of a 4 star General that has more experience and knowledge than you.
