2. "Immediate response" perhaps also hampered by Petraeus troubles

Somewhere, somehow the CIA is in the mess, perhaps being the reason the Ambassador was in residence due to trying to diplomatically accommodate a CIA secret location harboring resources for anti-Qaddafi interests.

No link, but CIA Director Petraeus involvement was abruptly interrupted by news of his affair with Paula Broadmoor. He was not paying attention to business for the time leading up to the tragedy. Now he has a cushy job at Harvard and Stevens is dead.

Just my opinion and my suspicion that the harangue against H. Clinton and Obama is deflecting attention to one of their faves, as well as lying as usual.
