Final Behghazi Report Details Administration Failures

Correct that was not the purpose as the chairman, now people and the media can read the unbias'd evidence and form their own conclusions. And those facts show there was a total failure before during and after by this administration including her and a concerted effort to mislead at the least the people and the media including her only meeting DURING the attack to come up with the video myth.

And we also know Obama refused to cooperate and we still have no idea where he was or what he was doing during the attack.

 

Is that why the Dems played dumb about the whole event? They thought the Republicans might have? LOL

 

Interesting assessment. Exactly how do you know of their motivations for first claiming that the embassy attack was like the other half dozen or so that "spontaneously" erupted over the video on the same day? I would agree that there was nothing spontaneous about those demonstrations and attacks.

Of course that initial assessment was blown out of the water by the fact that the "demonstrators" were rather heavily armed. No "fog of war" allowed. I guess you don't consider the thousands of hours spent "investigating" the events and the numerous "reports" released has not proven a single allegation about personal malfeasance was proven and in fact a number of the reported "events" turned out to be completely untrue will never change your own partisan opinion.

 

Benghazi lies were just standard procedure under Obama
By John Podhoretz June 28, 2016


The Benghazi report released Tuesday makes clear that one dreadful constant of President Obama’s foreign policy is simply this: Deflect. Muddy the picture. Question the motivation.

Blame the wrong culprit when naming the right culprit might interfere with your narrative, or if doing so might oblige you to act when you do not wish to act.

In an addendum to the report, Reps. Jim Jordan and Mike Pompeo detail the fact that the administration knew perfectly well in the immediate aftermath of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi that it had been planned and directed by Islamist radicals as an evil commemoration of 9/11.

For example, at 11:23 p.m. on the night of the attack, Hillary Clinton emailed her daughter, Chelsea, to say, “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an Al Quedalike [sic] group.”

The next morning, she said, “We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault.”

Sound familiar? Of course it does. After the attacks in San Bernardino and Orlando by home-grown terrorists, administration officials made a point of refusing to name the enemy publicly — in this case, ISIS, which had not yet come into existence at the time of Benghazi.

On the day following Orlando, the president himself said we had yet to discern “the precise motivations of the killer,” even though everyone knew by that point he had called 911 to swear his allegiance to ISIS while he was killing people.

Two weeks after the Orlando shooting — two weeks — Attorney General Loretta Lynch said, “I cannot tell you definitively that we will ever narrow it down to one motivation. We will look at all motivations.”

With Benghazi, as with Orlando, the reason for these evasions is to make mystery and ambiguity a part of the narrative in order to buy the White House and the administration time and space — the time to control the story and the space to impress upon its supporters the impracticality and uselessness of responding to these acts of war.

That’s why the first administration statement on the Benghazi attacks, made by Hillary Clinton, specifically made reference to the anti-Islamic video “Innocence of Muslims,” which had just created an international scandal — but did not make reference to the Islamic terrorists who perpetrated it. It came only an hour before Hillary emailed Chelsea and assigned blame to al Qaeda elements.

At this point, a familiar face pops up in Section 2 of the Benghazi report, which lays out the administration’s actions in the wake of the attack.

Yes, it’s none other than our buddy Ben Rhodes, the man who bragged to The New York Times Magazine about manipulating the press to adopt the administration’s line on the Iran deal.

The report makes clear he was helping to design the administration’s response as he began the work of setting up the echo chamber in which the media would provide Obama exactly the time and space he wanted and needed.

Rhodes did something odd in his testimony before the Benghazi committee. He claimed that the sentence about the anti-Islam video in the “Statement on the Attack on Benghazi” wasn’t really about Benghazi but was about “the region.”

“It’s not intended to assign responsibility for what happened in Benghazi,” Rhodes testified. “It’s meant to describe the context of what happened, what’s happening in the region.” There had been protests in Cairo centering on the video that same day.

His questioner responds incredulously: “So everything in this document is about Libya and Benghazi except you’re saying this sentence doesn’t apply to Libya and Benghazi?”

Rhodes responds with gobbledygook about protecting Americans elsewhere. His strange claim here is telling, because it makes clear the administration seemed to want above all to mention the video in its first words on the attack to direct attention away from it or to include it in a larger list of troubles stemming from a reaction to “Innocence of Muslims.”

All these misdirections and prevarications have taken their toll.

An unambiguous response to a terrorist attack on an American facility in 2012 would have prevented the creation of the Benghazi committee in the first place.

Due to the Benghazi committee’s efforts to secure the facts of the case, the world came to learn about Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of public email — an irresponsible and reckless act that more than anything else jeopardizes her presidential ambitions.

But when it comes to radical Islam and the Obama administration, the truth is always the first casualty. Hillary is hoping her presidential bid isn’t its last.



The State Department watch logs revealed that Hillary made no official inquiry from 10:30pm to 7:15am the next morning. That's a long time to be missing when a diplomatic facility is under attack and Americans are being murdered. Why didn't she mount a rescue? She was obligated to fight for these Americans when they had been put in harm's way because of her.
As for Obama, WHERE was he? Not in the situation room. Since he had to be up very early to fly to California for a fundraiser, he was probably sound asleep as Americans were being attacked. After all, if he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't refuse to answer questions, would he? Then to cover themselves, they invented the video lie hoping no one would notice their gross neglidence.
The Benghazi hearings were a joke because the Democrats on the committee did everything in their power to undermine the ability to get at the truth. Then Hillary and her minions lied or refused to answer questions about what really happened that night and why Stevens was even in Benghazi which was rife with terrorists. Then Obama refuses to answer questions. So how is the truth to be exposed when the corruption and collusion runs so deep? The Dems really have lost their way and are totally devoid of morals and scruples. Those who should be punished, go free. Is that fair?

 

Ambassador Stevens sister says it wasn't Hillary's fault. It was Congress' fault for not increasing the budget. And she is disgusted by Republicans politicizing his death. She basically thinks like the rest of the common sense community in the US.

 

I wonder if she blames the Republicans for Hillary blaming all this on a video when Hillary already knew that it wasn't because of the video.

As a side note, I wonder what ever happened to that guy they imprisoned for making that movie.

 

His sister is absolutely full of crap!

Sure....
HIllary Clinton apparently cannot properly and wisely allocate all the millions that Congress gave her as Secretary of State so it's Congress' fault. Right.

The "common sense" community in the US realizes that Madame Clinton was warned that Benghazi was a hot bed of terrorism and advised more than once to
increase security for the mission there. If anyone is politicizing his death it is his sister who sounds like she puts her political agenda ahead of her brother's memory. Pretty sick!

 

I'll take his families word over yours. No offense.

 

No offense taken and you can take the word of know nothings if you wish but this isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of fact!
http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin...y-clintons-state-department-reduced-security/

Hillary Clinton not only did not increase security in Benghazi after being advised to, she actually cut back security there. Stevens' sister must either be a whack job or horribly misinformed. As for you, no comment needed.

 

Shes wrong, it wasnt budgetary.

This wasnt a Republican problem, it was all Democrat.

 

I'll take the word of his family over yours. You guys don't seem very credible.

 

LOL...did you gloss over my link?
Or are you just pretending it doesn't exist? If you want to pee all over your own credibility...well done!

 

All I'm saying is I take his families opinion as being more credible than yours. No offense

 

After 10 investigations with no smoking gun, continue the false narrative. This was a complete waste.

- - - Updated - - -

Wrong again, but continue your false narrative. Like the birth certificate, this is nonsense.

 

Great. Glad to hear it.
But once more, in this matter, their opinion is based on politicized bunk. Hillary Clinton not only did not increase security as advised (though she well could have).
She actually cut security there. You preferences are pretty irrelevant as far as this issue goes.

 

Your accusations that his sister is playing politics is disgusting.

 

But not nearly the complete waste that your post was. You've registered your opinion but this report revealed all sorts of interesting tidbits that show how the Obama/Clinton machine completely bungled it all in Benghazi and then put on a farcical public campaign of disinformation designed to get out from under their own incompetent mismanagement.

In this case Obama and Clinton lied and people actually died as a result.

 

Hillary lied, 4 Americans died.

Fact.

 

Not as disgusting as serving the political
purposes of the person who was responsible for Chris Stevens' death through her acts of omission.

 

Well it looks like the final nail in the coffin for BENGHAZI!!™ has been driven. Its over. Republicans looks like giant fools.

 

After reading all that rambling of yours, I think in a way, it has turned out bitter sweet that the sister of Stevens stepped up and brought to light the most common sense logical reasons why all this happened in the first place. And the reasons do not lie with Hillary Clinton; http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/benghazi-victims-sister-i-do-not-blame-hillary-clinton

She knew more about what happened than the entire Republican committee. How? Because the committee had a different motive that was proven, which tried to distort the truth. The sister however, was only interested in the truth. And she told it.

 

Hillary and Obama look like morons, and dems do for supporting them.

 

It's like Ellijah Cummings said, "it's kind of sad". The Republican Benghazi committee that shut the Democrats out, was a total partisan witch hunt that was proven. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/cummings-decries-gop-benghazi-partisanship-714909251739

 

Lol! You all got your arses handed right back at you, and wasted $7 million tax dollars to do it. There was never a there there. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/cummings-decries-gop-benghazi-partisanship-714909251739

 

LOL...Rachel Maddow?
