House panel: No administration wrongdoing in Benghazi attack
SFGate ^ | 3:53 pm, Friday, August 1, 2014 | Carolyn Lockhead

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.

The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to approve making the report public.

Thompson said the report “confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given.” …

In a word, this country is screwed—and has been for quite a while, now.

I have no ideas for how to fix it………….

Repealing the 16th Amendment might be a good start and replacing it with something far stricter. Unlimited taxation has led to unlimited, unparalleled, and immensely irresponsible spending. To the tune of approaching 18 trillion in the hole.

Doing this also has the power to destroy the liberal/progressive/statist big-government movement, in both parties, overnight. Congress critters would not be allowed to give away a piece of the treasury for votes and to further their own power. That's why they hate the Tea Party and Constitutional conservatives because we have the power to cut them off at the knees if ever the truth be known.

How many house and senate members AREN”T compromised to the point that they are worthless tools of the NWO? Everything about the Washington D.C. world is a hot mess. Congress is a shadow organization for the NWO, regulatory agencies have taken power from the people by fiat. Nothing in D.C. works to the benefit of the US taxpayer.

I think it’s the fact that nobody else (especially anyone on the GOP) is trying to refute Thompson that is getting people riled.

No one understands the stress that the poor republicans are under. If they vote for American values, democrats won’t vote for them.

wrongdoing is not the same thing as negligence to me.

No matter. There was indeed "wrongdoing" up the wazoo. There was malfeasance, wrongdoing, negligence and IMO, outright criminal behavior by the administration.

This panel is a disgusting sell out. And its so called finding of no "wrongdoing" is complete and corrupt malfeasance. We may as well be living in Venezuela for all we can trust government run by either (or both) of these 3rd world corrupt political parties.

I am livid with rage at the corrupt travesty of a government that is ruling us like serfs.

Spin much, Mikey? Is that Nancy Pelosi in your pocket, or are you just glad to see Valerie Jarrett?

This panel is a disgusting sell out.

No joke, bloke. Anybody got a list of the Republiclowns on this whitewashing panel?

What happened -- Obozo threaten to murder them all if they squeaked? Deport their gardeners and prosecute them on tax charges? We know Bozo has got CJ Roberts by the ya-ya .... those foreign-adopted sons of his; some people thought Obozo used that to pry the Obamacare bagatelle out of Roberts.

A whacko left publication, SFGate, tells us the number two Democrat on the panel says there was no wrongdoing.... therefore that is the PANEL’S conclusion.

And freepers buy it. What happened to us?

So the Obama Administration and Hitlery get away with gross incompetence then?

Tell me again why I should vote Republican this November.

Since I have seen the lemmings eat this up and even go so far as demanding that “righties” must “apologize” to he that dwelleth at Sixteen Hundred Pennsylvania Avenue (over what they were not specific), the damage done is not all that small.

For a number of years, the Republican
Party controlled both Houses of Congress and the White House. Other that the Patriot Act, what was accomplished?

Oops. The CIA/NSA/whoever doesn’t approve the declassification. I guess we’ll never know what revelations the report contains, or even if it was nothing more than a whitewash. But we will know what signs will be brandished everywhere Hillary goes.

Does this mean the terrorists only attacked because of that cheesy video?
