Republican-led report debunks Benghazi theories and accusations

Yup... Just as I thought... I knew this was what you were talking about.

It didn't blow any holes in anything... There were violent protests over that video going on in Cairo and other parts of the Middle East, and even if Obama assumed the Benghazi attacks were also due to those protests at the time, it doesn't change the fact that by the end of the night, he was told by Panetta and General (forgot his name) that it was a terrorist attack, not a protest that got out of hand.

In fact, just a few days after the attack, Democratic Senator Carl Levin, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said to the media after receiving a briefing from the Defense Secretary that “it was a planned, premediated attack.”

Obama lied... That's something you're just going to have to live with.

Premeditated does not preclude using a youtube video as an excuse.
 
Nope, a new investigation into Bengazi is starting next month.

It would not surprise me at all. "When you got nothing....go with what you already know" seem to be the mantra of the GOP of today.

LOL, you beat me to the punch. Yet the GOP is the first to claim how much they want to be fiscally savvy, yet have no issues wasting tax payers money on nonsense like this.
 
Given the large number of investigations into the terrorist attack, all of which reached broadly similar conclusions, this outcome really isn't surprising.

Nonsense! This is all a plot by the....uh.....Republicans to let Obama off the hook. Oh, wait a minute.....never mind.

This was a manufactured issue by the Far Right from day one.

Except, of course, your own right wing nuts in the Republican party disagree with you. Tell me, do you also believe the moon landings were faked and that we have the bodies of dead aliens in Area 51?
 
Depends on whether you want to include context. Dunno why so many are afraid of context, but it seems they are.

No thanks, context is for fags.
 
Oh dear, what will the True Believers say now



I wonder why the report was released late on a Friday

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2014/images/11/21/benghazi.report.pdf

Reaching again....Your own OP went on to say:

"But the investigation also found the security at the diplomatic outpost was weak and it described a "flawed" process used to create talking points for House Intelligence Committee members and then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, whose public statements after the attack incensed critics who said the administration was avoiding calling the attack terrorism."

and...

"The Select Committee on Benghazi received the Intelligence committee's report on the Benghazi terrorist attack (in August), and has reviewed it along with other committee reports and materials as the investigation proceeds," spokesman Jamal D. Ware said in a statement. "It will aid the Select Committee's comprehensive investigation to determine the full facts of what happened in Benghazi, Libya before, during and after the attack and contribute toward our final, definitive accounting of the attack on behalf of Congress."

So, excuse me if I'd like to wait until the Select committee finishes their work...
 
They did lie... For nearly 2 weeks the Administration led the American people to believe that the attack was not done by organized terrorists, but was the result of spontaneous outrage over a YouTube video. It was a total crock of "you can keep your doctor" BS.

BTW, I appreciate you backing up my claim by showing that the lie about a the video was the thing that bothered me the most.

Is it possible that the CIA was lying to the WH? After all, they were the only ones who knew what really happened and they were the ones' who made the talking point emails for the WH.


The undertold story is that Rep. Jason Chaffetz exposed the entire CIA operation in Benghazi on Cspan just a few weeks after the attack. To this day there still isn't any US presence in Libya thanks in large part to the GOP keeping the story in the news and making sure that Ambassadors Stevens death was in vain.

Mark my words 20 years from now they will still be bringing up Benghazi anytime the Obama presidency is mentioned.



As they should...just like Watergate.

How's that "spontaneous demonstration" thing working for you?

And, please enlighten us on what's happening to the terrorists who killed Ambassador Stephens and two others? Obama said he would find them and do whatever\, sent FBI agents who came up with the fact Benghazi is in Libya and came back with great tans and serious hashish.

They got away with it.....terrorists killed Americans in the service of their country and Obama did squat..

Americans who choose to forget that don't deserve to live there
 
The final word is not in yet.

Possible yes.

And cause of investigation...national security was compromised and anyone who committed a wrongdoing needs to be exposed.

With that idea I am surprised you are NOT demanding congress get to the bottom of who is lying instead of chanting "old news" for two years

Oh trust me when I say, I want the absolute truth to come out on this lying band of criminals in this administration.

I wonder why it say this at the conclusion of the report:

"The report is therefore meant to serve as the definitive House statement [emphasis added] on the Intelligence Community’s activities before, during, and after the tragic events that caused the deaths of four brave Americans. Despite the highly sensitive nature of these activities, the report has endeavored to make the facts and conclusions within this report widely and publicly available so that the American public can separate actual fact from rumor and unsupported innuendo [emphasis added].

Well, until it does not find what republicans want, then the next panel will be the final word...
 
And they're going to do what? Dispute what the thousands of pages and all the other reports and investigations have already concluded?
 
Well, until it does not find what republicans want, then the next panel will be the final word...

Or it's just this:

Not really, but why the rush to define this one? Because maybe it says what you want it to say? Hmmmmm?
