White House Impeded Benghazi Probe, Republicans on Panel Say
Daily Signal ^ | 6/28/2016 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 06/28/2016 7:52:08 AM PDT by milton23

The U.S. military response was perplexingly inadequate Sept. 11, 2012, the night Americans were attacked by Islamist terrorists in Benghazi, Libya.

That’s one overarching conclusion reached by two leading Republicans on the House Select Committee on Benghazi after an investigation lasting a year and a half.

“Until now the administration has led us to believe the military did not have assets, men, or machines close enough or ready enough to arrive in Benghazi in time to save lives,” Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas, write. “An asset that could have made a difference would have been armed drones. And as the committee learned, it would have been relatively fast and easy to arm a drone.”

No worries, you got the lead actor right and just mixed up the film titles. Still got your point across though!

Impediments — particulary involving a matter as important as nationals security and competency — are to be overcome. Overcome, that is, unless one is too lazy, too incompetent or too conflicted to do so.

“And now that they have findings, what will they do with them?”

Considering that Congress has made sure that we live in a totalitarian state ruled by a President...

I liked how Pompeo put it in an interview. “For 7 and a half hours beginning to end, not one wheel ever turned to come to their rescue.”

The GOPee was afraid to blame Hildabeast or the Hussein in this report. CNN headline will read "GOP exonerates Hillary".

That is all you need to know - this is how it is done.

I am so done with the GOPee forever.

The report fails to identify the reason for the extremely unusual visit, by the ambassador, to the consulate on 9 11 after the wall had already blown up and every country and the Red Cross had fled. He flies in with 31 CIA weapons experts. Why? what was he doing? Let me assure you it wasn’t to set up a State department office. THEY ALREADY HAD ONE!! He never went to Benghazi !! It wasn’t safe. It was 300 miles from the Embassy. Something huge is missing from this report. WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE ON 9/11??? Even the republicrats are afraid to say what it was.

The Democrats could not have the notion out there of a terrorist attack two months before the election.

They had to go on defense and blame “the film” so Obama could win re-election.

The failure to respond to the attack by Obama stinks big time and the Republicans make noise about it and trot out the victims families.

But getting into the civil wars of Libya and Syria was a ‘bipartisan’ decision by foreign policy elites including Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham etc. etc.

A disgusting chapter in history with Hillary Clinton’s fingerprints all over it.

Trey Gowdy is determined to hand the presidency to Hillary, rather than Trump.

This is not hard to see.

Correct.

Stevens was about to blow the Obama regime out of the water over arming ISIS.

The 0bama regime and all of their sycophants hate conservatives and the truth so much, they will risk armed conflict.
