Naturally

McCain and Graham have clearly stepped into the bullshit this time -- I'm sure they'll be punished and shamed appropriately.

No?

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) noted that Petraeus "was adamant there was no politicization of the process, no White House interference or political agenda. He completely debunked that idea."

The names of terrorists believed to be involved were removed for reasons of national security, and all of the relevant intelligence agencies signed off on the edited text. As Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) explained to the AP, "[I]n an unclassified document you want to be careful who you identify as being involved."

Susan Rice then relied on the intelligence community's findings to update the public five days after the attack, and everything she said reflected the best information available at the time.

And before Fox News suggests Petraeus is still lying in order to protect the Obama administration, let's not forget that Petraeus is no longer part of the Obama administration. He's a private citizen, free to speak his mind -- and in this case, everything Petraeus is saying is consistent with everything the White House has said. Petraeus' remarks have left the right's conspiracy theories in tatters.
No.

This Sunday:

Meet the Press -- Lindsay Graham

Face the Nation - John McCain

I'm sure they'll be "really" challenged.

All that crap about the president being a liar and an unfit commander in chief. I am sure an apology is forthcoming.
