Republicans investigating Benghazi blame White House, State Dept. for failures

X Factor said:

How does what happened at Benghazi not piss you off? If it happened during a Republican administration exactly as it did, would you be so equally interested in accepting excuses? I can say that I would be just as pissed about Benghazi if it happened under a Republican adminstration.

It did and the American people did accept it. Which is exactly why Liberals aren't so up in arms about Benghazi.

History is something else ain't it?

The entire point of the thread was to point this out:



No forces could have been moved into Benghazi in time to save Ambassador Stevens or the other three people who died that day. Which proves that Darrell Issa (who claimed he could have flown commercial into Benghazi in enough time to stop the attacks) was full of it. Again.

Most serving in the U.S. military seem to disagree. And those in the military who went public or said something off the record have been purged by the Obama administration.

Yes, I have seen this before....First off there are indeed assets that could have been deployed, the excuses given as to why not are a direct revelation that our readiness has declined in Obama's term so in that aspect it lends credence that at the very least Obama has hurt our standing and readiness on the world stage...

As for what Gate's said, I can't speak to his motivations, other than he may have some culpability in overseeing the decline.

Heya Apache.....well, they do need to look into some of the States malfunctions when led By Team Obama.

Benghazi: 2012 State Department Annual Security Report

The most pressing question about the second 9/11 terrorist attack on America, this time in Benghazi, is “why did Hillary Clinton and the U.S. State Department fund & train the very same terrorists in Libya responsible for murdering Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith and SEALS: Glen Doherty & Tyrone Woods?”

This question must be answered, along with a reason “why Hillary Clinton & the State Department denied over 100 requests for security enhancements & fortifications despite over 230 violent attacks in Libya for the year leading up to 9/11, including the attacks on Chris Stevens before the video was even posted on youtube?”



Libya does not have a proper, uniformed military anymore, thanks to Barack Hussein Obama. Instead, the State Department paid the “Libyan Militia” to protect Ambassador Stevens, who is the representative of the United States President stationed abroad.



The United States of America not only denied several request for additional security to protect Ambassador Stevens (eg: a Marine Security Detachment – MSD – is typically assigned to every Ambassador stationed abroad, except for Stevens), but taxpayers also paid for outsourcing to the Libyan militia, and in part, Ansar al Sharia. Special Forces were then used to train the “Libyan militia” to take-over their job of protecting Stevens.....snip~

Benghazi: 2012 State Department Annual Security Report

It is important to note that the State Department’s main function is to secure American Embassies and Ambassadors stationed around the world, especially in terrorist hot-spots–like Benghazi, Libya.

Lt. Col Wood was the commander in charge of the American security teams in Libya & he testified:

“I feel duty bound to come forward in order to inform and provide a portion of ground truth information. I feel a sense of honor for those individuals who have died in the service of their country.

I realize much of my work in Libya was entangled in sensitive government work… The killing of a US Ambassador is a rare and extraordinary thing and requires our attention as a people.

As a citizen I made the determination that this outweighs all other interests and will risk whatever circumstances may result from my testimony.”.....snip~

Marching onward, the Conservative Report will also expose the details around the lack of response, but as already covered, Sean Smith sent a private message to a friend saying:

“I hope I don’t die tonight. I caught one of the guards in charge of protecting us taking pictures of our facility.“

What wasn’t disclosed was that the “Libyan guard” Sean referred to, was atop of a building across the street from the CIA compound, and was casing the location out, for obvious reason.

The Libyan guard, supplemented by the State Department to protect Team Stevens, was scouting for an ambush by Ansar al Sharia, who went onto attack the facility, later that night.

General Petraeus commented, “the guards left their posts moments before the attack began, allowing Ansar al-Sahria to just waltz right in the front door & kill Smith and Stevens.”.....snip~

EXCLUSIVE! Benghazi: State Dept FUNDED & TRAINED Ansar al-Sharia

Run Hillary.....Run.....faster, but not down any stairs and no there is no escalator going up!

The headline is no surprise. The House Armed Services Committee issued a report today ...



Well, except in one way.



There was no stand down order. Repeat: There was no stand down order. Maybe that ludicrous talking point can finally be put to rest.

Regardless of what happened with this "he said she said bull****" Obama and the rest of his bastard ass minions are responsible for this incident.

Obama and his bitches just cant take responsibility for anything.... Obama is like a toddler that blames others for his mistakes. He's no man - he's an ideologue that seeks a goat anytime his ideologies or forced legislation blows up in his face...

Heya Nick :2wave: .....its only going to get worse for them. But then we want Elijah Cummings who Sat and Chaired and deflected and looked to turn back on to the Repubs and playing the witchcard.

Now that all these truths are coming out Cummings has been trying to duck cameras and questioning over things he said in the hearings. Now lets see him get out there with his Big mouth flapping in the wind.

The State Department appropriations for Embassy and consulate security comes out of the State Department's appropriations for Embassy and consulate construction and maintenance.

It seems Hillary or one of her Obama minions decided that purchasing electric cars and building green recharging stations for European Embassies was a higher priority than security.

Then you have Obama's DOD paying $24 per gallon for green fuel for fueling our ships and $28 per gallon for green JP-5 (jet fuel) instead of purchasing the normal fuels used at less than $4 per gallon.

If I were in Congress I would be asking either the Obama administration have their priorities wrong and are completely incompetent or they have more money than they know what to do with it.

Whats going on bud?

Yeah, I know all about it, but in the end the blood is still on Obama's hands - that's the price one pays for wanting to "lead" a nation....

IMO, if Obama just maned up and told the truth he would get a lot more respect than he has now for owning up to his own mistakes.

Only cowards look for patsies, excuses and scape goats.

I would have just told Obama to his face.....Dude you lied. Moreover.....on your watch and due to Election time. The US was hit on the Anniversary of 911. Wherein you defend yourself saying you would never politicize such an event. Which is exactly what you did.

You was out west coast partying/fundraising.....since we knew you made the trip to Reid in Nevada from the Florida University you were speaking at. When the Z-Man of AQ released a statement calling on all Libyans and his likes to avenge, al-Libi.

Then you sent Rice out to lie to the American people about that dumbass video. Which btw way you Spent 70k of tax payers money to run commercials in Pakistan. Putz!

It's obvious, Obama was derelict in his duties as the CnC.

So was Hillary Clinton, she was a unqualified and second rate Secretary of State. She was incompetent.

And it was probably Valerie Jarrett who was behind the cover up and not having the military do something because it could have jeopardized Barack Obama from being reelected and given a second chance. Obama was running around the country telling everyone that he killed Osama bin Laden, that Al Qaeda was on the run and being decimated. When the truth was Al Qaeda is lager and stronger than when Obama entered the White House and were running all over the Middle east and North Africa expanding their bases of operations.

While Obama was in the White House on 9-11-12 preparing his Al Qaeda is on the run and being decimated speech, an American consulate was under attack and four Americans would be murdered and nobody did jack #### because if they did, Obama would appear to be a liar in Las Vegas.

So initiate a cover up and blame it on a You Tube video and hope Fox News doesn't notice and ask questions.

That's Apacherat's version. Fortunately, we live in real life.

Well.....I don't see much of a defense from those on the left other than to talk about how there is nothing there. It's a witchhunt. Typical Left leaning propaganda and the usual partisanship play in with it all. Spouting Demo talking points but can't even follow timelines and the facts that are out there. Republicans problem comes in with that they don't have anyone that knows how to lead and question and take control of the issue.

One thing is clear tho......what Obama runs around and flapping his mouth open right away with a statement of, defending NO accusation that he politicized the event. Pretty much tells all. He politicized the whole thing all due to an election.

Bottomline.....country was hit on the Anniversary of 911. A US Ambassador was killed along with other Americans.

This all took place with Obama Partying out West Coast as like I stated earlier. Its already known Obama Left Florida and Met with Reid in Nevada. The next stop was the fundraisers out Westcoast.

Which this does not explain away why he sent out Rice on Sunday talks shows to place blame on a some video that had nothing to do with The State's Dept dereliction of duty.

Nor does it explain away why Hillary Never called back to check on any of her people. All those who she lovingly adores and praises. Talks all that good **** about how that person is, and whatnot. Yet she couldn't find the time to make sure any of them Lived.
