3. He needs to change

his Policy of regime change. I mean do an complete about face. The people that want this Policy, favor rightwing Republicans in office because they know that party will intervene in a minute. He is trusted Petraeus whom republican operatives tried to recruit as a Presidential candidate. Petraeus was Bush's General. He trusts the guy in charge of the CIA now.

The President only gives Directives for his subordinates to carry out. That meant Petraeus also who advise him on conditions in Libya. Petraeus should have known how dangerous Libya was and the groups operating there. The attack in Benghazi seemed co-ordinated but how can the militias responsible for security under the CIA be exonerated, when the video showed they left the area and let the assailants carry out their mission? Either the CIA was in on the scheme or they had an intelligence failure. Stevens should have never been allowed into the area by the CIA. The only civilian got killed was Stevens, the others were attached to the CIA. The focus needs to be on the CIA and Petraeus but it seems the Republicans and everybody favoring this regime change wants to exonerate the CIA for mission failure. The bottomline is the talking points were cleared by the CIA because of classified material. The simple reason they needed to come up with a name to call the building exposes it. The regime change Policy is flawed period Obama has signed on to. Stop supplying and scheming with shady groups to overthrow Governments through the CIA.
