Benghazi

[Azalin]

Died and then lied. Big difference. So you are lying, actually. Yes, there was a bad thing that happened and the administration tried flubbing it. The Conspiracy theories you clowns are spewing try and cloud that difference for political reasons

 

 

Now Bush did lie and THEN Americans died

 

sorry you don't get the point, but I tried to use as many small words as possible.

Late in the report we learn that “the Administration’s initial public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attacks were not fully accurate.”

 

You don’t say!

 

Also that “The process and edits made to these talking points was flawed.”

 

And for this, the usual suspects in the media say the GOP should be ashamed? Really? It’s almost like a less obsequious press might think something else might be amiss.

 

 

 

The House Intelligence Committee’s Benghazi Report — more than fair

 

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has issued its report on the Benghazi attack. You can find it here.

 

The Committee concludes, among things, that CIA personnel on the ground in Benghazi during the attack behaved bravely and made reasonable tactical decisions that saved lives, and that the CIA received all military support that was available.

 

It further concludes that after the attack, the administration’s initial public narrative (via Susan Rice) on the causes and motivations for the attack was not fully accurate. In addition, edits made to the Benghazi “talking points” were not fully accurate, and the process that produced the talking points was flawed. However, the Committee stops short of finding misconduct or bad faith on the part of Susan Rice or any other administration official.

 

 

 

Why didn’t the Committee make such findings, one way or the other? The main reason, I suspect, is that the Republican members wanted bipartisan agreement as to the facts (including the fact that Rice’s comments were inaccurate). Keep in mind too that the House Intelligence Committee is something of an island of bipartisanship in the stormy seas of Capitol Hill, which is probably a good thing given the vital and sensitive nature of its work.

 

Republican members must also have been mindful that Trey Gowdy’s special committee is tasked investigating the Obama administration’s post-attack behavior, among other things. Thus, the honesty and good faith of Team Obama (or the lack thereof) remains the subject of an important, well-publicized House investigation. Indeed, by not opining on this subject, the Intelligence Committee invites Gowdy’s committee to focus sharply on it, and precludes any valid claim that the issue was resolved by another committee.

 

Team Obama and its friends in the media may try to create the impression that the administration has dodged a bullet on Benghazi. In reality, it hasn’t.

 

Rather, a bipartisan House committee has found that key statements by the administration about Benghazi were false. And it has left for Gowdy’s committee the task of determining Whether the false statements were bad faith efforts to deceive.

So if the lie comes after the deaths it's ok?

 

Oh that's right you're the one that thought the whole thing was funny and that all Presidents lie so there is notihg to see here.

So now we've gone from conspiracy theories to politically motivated witch hunts. Government accountability is now a pipe dream of the radical fringe?

It can't be both?

 

Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the library. President Brown and Senator Green (D) were involved in the coverup. The Truth is out there.

That's not a conspiracy. A conspiracy would be where Colonel Mustard and Mrs. Peacock framed Professor Plum by placing the lead pipe in the library.

Racist.

Racist.

I was gonna say President Black, but he's only 50/50.

What a partisan joke. What a goose chase

 

 

The silence was pretty deafening. Except for Senator Lindsey Graham, who helpfully told CNN: “I think the report’s full of crap.” And Newt Gingrich, who theorized that the Intelligence Committee had been “co-opted by the C.I.A.”

Newt knows. (“I’ve talked to four different people who have a real interest in this topic at a professional level. They are appalled by this report.”)

Still laughing about the WH and State Dept leaving four people for dead I see. Obviously much for you to give thanks for today.

Imagine the posts if the Administration was from the other side of the aisle.

[B-Man]

The answer regarding this committee's findings was in post #1422,

 

I am unsurprised that those who do not understand this story (nor much else) did not comprehend it.
