Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur blasts GOP and Fox over Benghazi

[JDPriestly]

8. OK. Here is my completely crazy theory. (Might make a good novel but I haven't much if any

evidence to support it.)

This all has to do with the fact that Petraeus was outed for having had an affair just two months after Benghazi.

Fox News wanted to back Petraeus for 2016. But that will be impossible because Petraeus had to resign or was fired due to his extramarital relationship. (He was serving in the military and that is not allowed.)

Petraeus was not outed until November 9, 2012, almost two months after Benghazi, but my instincts tell me there is some connection.

Petraeus had this relationship with Broadwell for some time before being outed. As we now know, the NSA would most likely have been moderating Petraeus' communications intentionally or inadvertently and could have known about the affair for quite some time.

Fox News is just nutty enough to try to avenge Petraeus' outing by exaggerating the importance of the confusion about Benghazi.

And by the way we still don't know what the two ambassadors were doing meeting in Benghazi on that night when the capitol is in Tripoli, Libya. That's the question that intrigues me.

Anyway, my theory is crazy and not very well developed, but I just thought I would mention it. I don't claim it has any relationship to the truth, but then neither does Fox News' version of why Benghazi is important. The tapes and the Rose Garden speeches suggested terrorism to me. But terrorism had not been confirmed. Naturally, the White House tried to be cautious.
