Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012 acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath.
The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up." Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently.
"We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. "It's actually closer to us being idiots."

What makes them think 'mistakes' doesn't come with consequences? An order to 'stand down' is not a mistake but deliberate.
Oh yeah? So what about this guy?
They didn’t make mistakes, they deliberately avoided the facts. They didn’t do it maliciously, they did it intentionally.
They made such serious mistakes that if they lived in Singapore they’d be caned before hanging.
“...as either being lying or idiots,”
How about “...as either being lying idiots,”?
This won’t wash with regards to 8 months of obstruction of justice inquiries and cover-up’s.
Nice try but no cigar.
Last week we were told that just prior to Obama’s dipstick press conference (during which he blamed Republicans for his problems) he also held a “private” deep-background briefing for 14 select news agencies.
So guess where this reeking pantload of nonsense came from.
NO, THEY ARE NOT! They are deliberately evil and thus the need to continue to lie about it. As they did with F'n F and the IRS and disastrous obamacare (we have to pass it to see what's in it).
What part of deliberate don't you get with their constant..'We'll do what we want and lie our way out of it.'
So much evil is enabled by this attitude.
a ‘range of mistakes’ = multiple ‘articles of impeachment’ in my book.
why would we want idiots running things? They admit they are incompetent.
Oh Please, America, wake the f* up.
You’ve been invaded at all levels of gubamint by turd world dreamers and schemers and scammers.
The left is, once again, trying to frame the argument. Bengahzi is not just a scandal, it is a bloody scandal. The malice was in the dereliction. The WH abandoned those men to cover up something.
The Top people in the Obama Administration are lying. They’re not idiots. The window dressing one’s are the idiots...
What difference does it make if we call them liars and traitors? What difference?
Silly little me! Simper, simper. How could I be expected to do anything? Why, I was just running around like a chicken with my little ol’ head cut off because I was just - you know - so freaked out..
They’re really and truly idiots to think we’d believe this.
Four people DEAD in Behghazi while they all KNEW the attack could end up that way, they were aware of it, and would NOT let assets be deployed to save those lives. It's out and out accomplices to MURDER. Obama, Clinton any others that were involved are guilty of MURDER!
"incompetence rather than malice or cover up"....
Total BS, the incompetence was in thinking they could get away with the murder of those that could expose Obama's mid east "fast and furious" plan of gun running to his Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Terrorist friends. The buck stops at Obama, he is responsible for the murders and his top Adviser Valerie Jarrett--Islamic terrorism Sharia law etc supporter...needs to go to trial and be hanged for treason after being convicted.
"We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. "It's actually closer to us being idiots."
Actually closer to no response to the terrorist attack at Benghazi which they all were watching IN REAL TIME, cheering on the Islamic Jihad terrorists so key players in the Obama/Jarrett gun (heavy munitions actually that would be used against out Military assets eventually) running.
JUSTICE for the four dead brave Americans who begged for more security for MONTHS and over and over again during this raid.
Two Generals who could have ordered help at a moments were reprimanded for wanting to send help and were told to STAND DOWN by Obama so those that could expose him for the treasonous traitorous Islamic sympathizing would be taken out.
Being idiots, what a lame cover. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing as they watched Americans being killed.
Obama, Clinton, Jarrett ---BRING THEM TO TRIAL, PERP WALK THEM TO GITMO! Along with this "administration official who was part of the Benghazi response." Saying I was just doing what I was told still should bring this one the death penalty after a fair trial. Oh, and NOT BY HOLDER, who would let them off.
He's a whole 'nother story as to why he should be tried for being a treasonous traitor to America and our Constitutional Republic.
They were caught DELIBERATELY lying for weeks.
They ALLOWED the US Ambassador to be be killed by not sending help.
They sent a man to prison for a video that had nothing to do with the attack.
They dont see anything wrong with any of this.
These are VERY DANGEROUS PEOPLE.
