Benghazi: The Dfinitive Report

Just read an article linked off of Drudge to the Daily Mail (UK) with some pretty bold accusations from a SEAL and QP.

link

It makes some pretty bold claims.


Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL, and Jack Murphy, a former Green Beret, reveal the new claims in their book 'Benghazi: The Definitive Report'

Petraeus was humiliated after a 'palace coup' by high-level intelligence officers who did not like the way he was running the CIA, authors say

The book also claims that Petraeus and Ambassador Chris Stevens were caught off guard by Benghazi consulate attack because they weren't briefed about on-going U.S. military operations in Libya

Webb and Murphy say Benghazi attack was a retaliation for secret raids authorized by Obama security adviser John Brennan

I read the article too. Interesting... what would be the advantage of not letting Petraeus know about the raids? JSOC involved? IMHO if we had been 'stirring the hornets nest', it's even more egregious
that we had no forces in the area to come to their aid.
