Remember Benghazi?
You know, that non-scandal the GOPers investigated, investigated, and
investigated, and our own little PsychoScotty pushed... Well, the GOP now admits, in writing, there was nothing of a serious nature to be found there. Nothing. The House Select Intelligence Committee—controlled by Republicans—has been investigating the Benghazi attacks in minute detail for two years. Today, with the midterm elections safely past, they issued their findings. Their exoneration of the White House was sweeping and nearly absolute. The Committee first concludes that the CIA ensured sufficient security for CIA facilities in Benghazi....Appropriate U.S. personnel made reasonable tactical decisions that night, and the Committee found no evidence that there was either a stand down order or a denial of available air support.... Second, the Committee finds that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks. In the months prior, the IC provided intelligence about previous attacks and the increased threat environment in Benghazi, but the IC did not have specific, tactical warning of the September 11 attacks. Third, the Committee finds that a mixed group of individuals, including those affiliated with Al Qa'ida, participated in the attacks.... Fourth, the Committee concludes that after the attacks, the early intelligence assessments and the Administration's initial public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attacks were not fully accurate....There was no protest. The CIA only changed its initial assessment about a protest on September 24, 2012, when closed caption television footage became available on September 18, 2012 (two days after Ambassador Susan Rice spoke).... Fifth, the Committee finds that the process used to generate the talking points HPSCI asked for—and which were used for Ambassador Rice's public appearances—was flawed.... Finally, the Committee found no evidence that any officer was intimidated, wrongly forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement or otherwise kept from speaking to Congress, or polygraphed because of their presence in Benghazi. The Committee also found no evidence that the CIA conducted unauthorized activities in Benghazi and no evidence that the IC shipped arms to Syria. -- One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all have to take our shoes off at the airport… Thirty one school shootings since Columbine and counting and *no change* in gun regulations. |

Well, the GOP now admits, in writing, there was nothing of a serious nature to be found there. Nothing. Good. They investigated and cleared those being investigated. That's the way the system is supposed to work, Toad. The Grand Jury in Ferguson will soon provide its findings. That's the way the system is supposed to work. Zimmerman was found not guilty. That's the way the system works. Why does that **** you off, Toad? |

Another thing that caught my attention is that the specific report you are citing is the seventh of eight "investigations" conducted regarding the Benghazi affair. This report, by the House Committee, is consistent with the six previous investigations. One more investigation is being conducted apparently. |

Well, I guess after years of stonewalling and still missing thousands of papers, non-appearances by the key players we can assume I guess that either they just gave up or they just decided the weapons sales was not something they wanted to write about for nat security reasons... So move on... |

So move on... Trust me, if it was a repub pres the facts would come streaming out, even if it was against the best interest of the nation. We saw "leaks" put Bush into some pretty hairy situations where he couldn't really come out and defend himself because of nat sec... like "weapons of mass distruction".... |

Do you know that to be a fact? The CIA denies it but said they "can't comment on other agencies". So if the CIA doesn't know for sure, where did you get your intel? Or is your position that the CIA is just lying? http://www.globalresearch.ca/cia-gun...-syria/5345464 |
