"A critical report (attached below) drafted by five GOP-led House committees has determined that reduced security in Benghazi in the days leading up to the Sept. 11, 2012 attack were approved by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The report also found that White House and high-ranking officials at the State Department changed CIA talking points following the attacks, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, in order to shield the State Department from “criticism for inadequate security levels,” on the ground in Benghazi."

WH, State Department Covered Up Clintons Gutting Benghazi Security


Republicans know perfectly well, security in Libya was the responsibility of the CIA ... and the ones responsible for the failure in Benghazi.

Now the question is, why would she do it? The country was just bombed by us and over thrown. And regardless of what the liberal left would like to think Obama ain't loved in the ME.

So, was it incompetence? Was it by design looking for an attack?

Someone mentioned the CIA, that is the first I heard they were responsible. Certainly they are responsible for accessing risk but the actual act of defense? No that is the State Department under Obama.

Clinton was the Teflon President, what is more slippery then Teflon?

Four Men Died So The Administration Lied.

[As they say, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" No finer demonstration of the veracity of that statement can be found than the events that followed in the wake of the murder of US Ambassador Chris Stephens and three other Americans the evening of September 11, 2012 in the US Embassy annex at Benghazi, Libya.

There was a presidential election camaign going on so mum had to be the word, couldn't let the murder of four Americans on Comrade Barry's watch derail Comrade Barry's re election even though Comrade Barry couldn't even be bothered showing up the night the four Americans died to show even a little bit of concern regarding their fates. "Just four little bumps in the road!", that's all.

"Moochelle" has complained on at least one occassion about feeling like a "Single Mom", maybe Comrade Barry and Reggie had a 'Menage a' deux' going on upstairs in the Lincoln Bedroom using the next day flight to the Las Vegas campaign fundraiser as a cover story.

And the Hildebeest, well, callous slut that she is, she knew that all she had to do was raise her voice to the same timbre as she did when she discovered 'Bubba' monkeying around with Jennifer, Juanita, or Monica and shout "What difference does it make!?" and any of those evil, overly inquisitive, raping white racist Republicans nosing around looking for answers as to what happened in Benghazi would run scurrying for cover. There ain't gonna be no taming of that shrew.]

The story begins on Friday, September 14, when then-CIA director David Petraeus briefed the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence about the Benghazi attack three days earlier. The CIA's notes for that briefing included information about five previous attacks on foreign interests in Benghazi since April 2012; potential links to the al Qaeda connected Libyan militia, Ansar al-Sharia; previous CIA assessments of groups linked to al Qaeda in eastern Libya; and information suggesting Islamic extremists participated in the attack, according to the report.

But then the editing process began later that day on September 14, "[w]hen draft talking points were sent to officials throughout the Executive Branch, [and] senior State Department officials requested the talking points be changed to avoid criticism for ignoring the threat environment in Benghazi," the report charges. The report quotes one email saying there was concern that members of Congress would attack the State Department for "not paying attention to Agency warnings" regarding the mounting threat in Benghazi.

A meeting convened by the White House on Saturday suggested further edits to the talking points, according to the report. While a senior CIA official eventually changed the talking points, the report says those changes were made at the behest of the White House and the State Department. "Those edits struck any and all suggestions that the State Department had been previously warned of threats in the region, that there had been previous attacks in Benghazi by al-Qaeda-linked groups in Benghazi and eastern Libya, and that extremists linked to al-Qaeda may have participated in the attack on the Benghazi Mission," according to the report.

On Sunday the new talking points were provided to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, who based her comments about the attack on major Sunday news shows on September 16 on the newly edited talking points. Rice ended up suggesting that the lethal assault on the Benghazi compound was spurred by a demonstration against an anti-Muslim Internet video. The State Department's own accountability review board eventually acknowledged last year that there was no demonstration the night the Benghazi compound was raided and set ablaze.

Democrats are dismissing the "partisan report" and the White House claims that they were forthcoming in trying to satisfy Republican investigators.

But the inescapable conclusion is that the talking points were altered for political reasons and that the White House sought to protect Hillary Clinton who refused to beef up security at the diplomatic mission in Beghazi despite numerous warnings:

Administration officials have told Congress and said publicly that one reason the talking points were changed was to protect classified information. The Republican report, however, said there was no evidence to support that charge. "There were no concerns about protecting classified information in the email traffic," the report said.

The report also notes that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed an April 19, 2012 cable offering a plan to scale back security assets for the U.S. missions in Libya, including Benghazi.

While the report is damning, it's release while interest in the Boston bombings is still intense guarantees it won't see much coverage in the press. Even without the competition with the bombing story, it isn't likely that the report would garner many headlines. The fact is, the White House and President Obama have successfully stonewalled the truth about Benghazi and despite ample proof that they lied, no one in the media seems very interested in calling them out for it."

whoa geeze

 

[depotoo]

I believe they lied because they were hoping to make it look like the danger in Libya had been normalized through our actions in Operation Unified Protector there, and thus reducing security even though they damn well were made aware of the increasing violence going on. There were many reports that they were told what was going on.

Dante, can you explain to me why you think it is ok for Clinton et al to have lied to us about this?

 

[BallsBrunswick]

It's interesting how the whole Benghazi conspiracy is taking the same path as the Obama birth certificate conspiracy. It started off hot when conservatives thought they had something, then started petering out when the smart ones realize they had dick and then you'll see occasional threads and craziness every once in awhile until even the dumb conservatives realize it's largely bullshit and no one cares. It's interesting watching this LIBERALZZZ CONSPIRACY!!@1 slowly die it's natural death.
