House panel: No administration wrongdoing in Benghazi attack

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.

Among the Intelligence Committee's findings, according to Thompson:

-- Intelligence agencies were "warned about an increased threat environment, but did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it happened."

-- "A mixed group of individuals, including those associated with al Qaeda, (Moammar) Khadafy loyalists and other Libyan militias, participated in the attack."

-- "There was no 'stand-down order' given to American personnel attempting to offer assistance that evening, no illegal activity or illegal arms transfers occurring by U.S. personnel in Benghazi, and no American was left behind."

-- The administration's process for developing "talking points" was "flawed, but the talking points reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis."

Yeah if there was illegal activity like arms transfers the reps are going to say there was. The fuckers are probably neck deep in this shit, and are covering ass.

So the attack Obama like crazy then agree with him and remove any wrong-doing? Did you ever think it was just a political stunt? like many had suggested? similar to this execeutive order bullshit. The IRS bullshit, the fucking sequester  etc etc.

They are 2 sides of the same coin, to pretend they had no idea what was going on is ridiculous.

As far as executive orders are concerned, there are very specific restrictions in the constitution, that curtail them. The executive order has been abused for years and it needs to stop.

Sure, but anyone who looked at the situation knew this would be the outcome.I would bet my life there will be nothing come of it.
Imagine if this shit happened everytime an embassy was attacked.

[Soul Crusher]

So - did I miss something?  The terrorists just took over Benghazi - was another youtube video released or something>?

[chadstallion]

yes,  you always do. butt, that is one of the things we like about you.

well...given the fact that this was the first ambassador killed in 35 or so years and the President floated some stupid story about an internet video being the cause of it...I think the matter warranted a second...third and perhaps fourth look.

we will know it's true when Fox stops talking about it and moves on to something else.

Case closed.

Sfgate.com is an incontrovertible source of news. Glad to see another "fake" scandal go by the wayside.

[TheGrinch]

um... you guys expected a different result?

[chadstallion]

um... you guys expected a different result?

well, yes!
there are several more panels to spend our $$ and make 'breaking news' on FOX- we can only hope something will be found or Steve Doucy will be at a loss for words

[Necrosis]

Wait though, what about Obama calling off help as he watched them die in real time? Why didn't he send in team america?

I am still not convinced, there just has to be something there.

[flipper5470]

This is not the final report...this is a leak from a democrat on the panel.  Let's wait until the final report is released and we'll see exactly how things are worded and what specific allegations are addressed.

must have missed the part where the repubs waited for the final report before accusing everyone under the sun

shit man, ouch.   great point.

the report will be clean.  repubs milked it, but yeah.  Whatever went on in benghazi (glen beck was very clear about it), nobody wants that on the world stage.  So obama will get away with it.

NOW MSNBC will stop mocking the story, and they'll have a trophy to hold up, 24/7.  totally cool.
NOW FOX will get silent on the issue, since it'll make their viewers upset.  Totally cool.

These "media outlets" are just private companies that can cover any topic they wish, and ignore/downplay any stories they want.  Just as BET has every right to declare a new record is wack or is the hottest joint of 2014... MSN and FOX and CNN have every right to suddenly deem benghazi as non-newsworthy, or as a victory to talk about nonstop.

Translation : hoping against hope for some tiny misspelling to be overlooked so it can render the entire report a biased cover up.

yeah, that's the line of the month right there.  I still think obama let it happen.   but the repubs WERE very quick to make accusations for 2 years without a final report- much the way many accused Bush of inaction on the first 9/11, without a report.  I still think BOTH presidents sat on their hands and let things unfold.  Obama didn't send bad guys into the embassy any more than Bush ordered 911... but did both men just kinda, stand still and let the incidents unfold?  yes, that's what it looks like.  That whole "Can't blame me!" thing is shallow when a person has the power and technology and ability and DUTY to act to stop an attack mid-stream.

[LurkerNoMore]

"Let's wait for the final report" will be the temporary mantra until it comes out and is replaced by sound of crickets on the far right every time the word Benghazi is brought up.

[Necrosis]

if someone has the time some of 33's posts on the topic are funny./ Coach too. He was calling him a murderer, claiming he watched them die in real time, called of a strike, knew about it before hand, refused extra support, purposely lied about the reason etc.

None of it is true, NONE.

Fucking delusional morons are destroying the earth.
