The Senate Intelligence Committee comprehensive report on Benghazi “Preventable”!!

Your timeline is a little off, Dollface. The sequester didn't hit the embassy's security until after the Benghazi attack.

Actually, this interesting fact here...

...is most damning to the Obama Administration and Hillary "What difference does it make?" Clinton.

 

Well... not exactly... there were a ton of conspiracies going on at that annex... which is why there was a cover-up. It was incompetence, but with the mission of obscuring what was really going on. They rolled the dice with these peoples lives, and lost.

 

Okay, that is BS. "Ton of conspiracies", sorry but go play politcal dungeon and dragons elsewhere. The committee found no conspiracies, they only exist in your world.

 

but you still think Hillary should be president, even though shes incompetent and neglectful?

 

No and I never mentioned her as a candidate ever. Your post epitomizes right wing thinking, pretending to know who I vote for.

I think Hillary Clinton is quite competent, but I think she made a mistake here.

 

No... the senate report, first of all, is not the end all be all of circumstance. Anything associated with that annex is redacted. They do not address the annex at all except to say that the CIA did not inform the military of its existence. These conspiracies are all well documented facts. We can go one at a time if you like.

Are you aware the the US illegally armed Libyan rebels?

 

Tell you what, let me know when you have the evidence, mkay!!!

 

I have everything. I am ready to roll. Are you aware that the US illegally armed Libyan rebels with US and NATO weapons (from Qatar)? Please explain what you believe you know, and what issues you might take with the question as it is very loaded.

 

I am afriad not funding was cut by 128 million in 2011 and 331 million in 2013 this had nothing to do with seqester.

Why should he/she have to you call every politicians that you disagree with without providing proof?

 

the senate report makes for a very interesting read, despite the spin put on it by partisan news outlets.
(although has "too many words" and wanders off into speculation a few times).

One think is clear. Many of the right's unsubstantiate accusations were in proven to be unsubstantiated by facts or wrong.
Many of the left's defensive accusations were also either unsubstantiated by facts or wrong.

Here's an albeit biased list from the left, but its a great example of the nonsense, misinformation and irresponsible reporting surounding this tragic event. (I looked for something similar to examine left leaning reportage but can't seem to find one. Anyone got an idea?)

The attack on Bengahzi was "preventable" in the same fashion as 9/11 was preventable.
Inaction or ignoring intelligence reports.

..............................
This strikes me as a chronic problem (regardless of partisanship) of the massive intelligence infrastructure. thousands of reports being generated from intell from thousands of sources all being "processed" with a hierarchal elevation protocol. At what point is a report actionable? how many reports claim an attack to be imminent that does not materialize, how many that do? As they say hindsight is 20/20.

I think this is the actual underlying problem in situations like this, and I for one do not think it is completely fixable, mitigated perhaps, but achieving infallibility is impossible.

 

Thanks for the mention of one of our favorites, the Department of Redundancy Department!

But to the point: finding and bringing to justice of the people who attacked the consulate and killed four Americans is the duty of the executive branch, of which Obama is supposedly the leader, though he's an empty suit as we told you people before the elections in 2008 (!). And Obama vowed to bring them to justice, as is HIS duty, not right wingers on the internet, but now he doesn't care and isn't even trying. Now it's a 'phony scandal? and a conspiracy?' Please, that's just pathetic.

 

The Committee wasn't looking for conspiracies; they were examining what took place and what the administration knew and when they knew it. ALL the answers point to a couple of things: 1) The State Dept & the Administration were neglectful in properly securing Benghazi when they knew since August 2012 that Al Qaeda was all over the place, and 2) They were briefed that it was an attack and were NOT briefed about anything as ridiculous as a video (Panetta stated that this in no uncertain terms), and 3) they made up a lie about a video that was repeated over and over again......to try and cover-up their incompetence and to cover-up the FACT that it was another 9/11 al Qaeda terrorist attack.....which they did NOT want to be the story line just before an election. And we know they did this....tried to cover-up.... because we have ears...and we heard the lie told to us over and over again.

And then....there's the little issue of their silencing those who could testify that lies were all B.S. It's always about the cover-up. And this ain't over yet........

 

This must be another reason why Hillary hasn't declared her candidacy yet and why Biden has been so mysteriously confident about his odds against her, but traffic jams are more important amirite?

 

It's far more than a mere mistake when one tries to cover up what actually happened.....and lies to the American people.

 

Is this post real life? Know how I know you don't know what you are talking about? For starters you didn't read the story, additionally you didn't read or follow any of the testimony. Question; do your fingers hurt from scrapping the bottom of the barrel?

Senate Intelligence Committee?

 

The crime being referred to in this thread is that of allowing the killing of four Americans. The crime committed by this administration.

 

Conspiracy? Not a conspiracy just one washed up old woman that failed at being Secretary of State and now wants to be President. Her incompetence at the State Dept shows through like a lighthouse on a foggy night. Hillary wants to be President and I want a Pony, I doubt either of us will get what we want.

I don't see that mentioned in the coverage of this report from the democrat side. Thought I would point it out.

 

Senate report: Benghazi attacks preventable

by Mandy Nagy
January 15, 2014

Does Hillary still wonder what difference it makes?

​

senate-intelligence-committee-benghazi-report



A report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee has concluded that the attacks on U.S. outposts in Benghazi, Libya in September, 2012 could have been prevented.

I’m still reading through the full report myself, but some of the primary highlights so far are included below.

From the Washington Post: (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/senate-report-attack-on-us-compound-in-benghazi-could-have-been-prevented/2014/01/15/5e197224-7de9-11e3-95c6-0a7aa80874bc_story.html)

A long-delayed Senate intelligence committee report released Wednesday spreads blame among the State Department and intelligence agencies for not preventing attacks on two outposts in Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

The bipartisan report lays out more than a dozen findings regarding the assaults on Sept. 11 and 12, 2012, on a diplomatic compound and a CIA annex in the Libyan city of Benghazi. It says the State Department failed to increase security at its diplomatic mission despite warnings and faults intelligence agencies for not sharing information about the existence of the CIA outpost with the U.S. military.

How will the Obamites and Hillaryites handles this truth. Surely in the faces of all the lies spewed by Obama, Hillary including the MSM along with the recent NY Slimes Op-ed. The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

 

No! That's all you see. Fox is all over it. And I read the report and watched Chambliss play with words on Greta Van Suckstren. If you pay attention to him talk, he's always working around the edges saying I believe it is Al Qaeda or I'm pretty sure. That kind of language. It's always the same pretty sure talk, but nothing definitive. And as many have said before, like Clinton, what difference does it make if it is Al Qaeda or a bunch of aliens from Mars? It happened and we need better preventive measures. It happened during Bush and 9/11 and it will happen again, no matter who is president.

 

This reminds me of when the lady who claimed to have confirmed Obama's birth certificate ended up dead, or when the CIA threatened agents who complied with the Benghazi investigation.

 

Nice spin, but the Senate report also found no evidence of the kind of political coverup that Republicans have long claimed.
The cons tried and failed to turn the incident into yet another paranoid conspiracy and coverup by Obama and have been using Stevens as a political football ever since.

 

That myth was put to bed long ago.

Why would there be a need to 'own up' to the Barbara Boxer lie that security was cut for budget reasons?
