A damning report authored by the Republican-led House committee probing the Benghazi terror attacks faulted the Obama administration for a range of missteps before, during and after the fatal 2012 attacks – saying top administration officials huddled to craft their public response while military assets waited hours to deploy to Libya.
The report released Tuesday pointedly blamed a “rusty bureaucratic process” for the slow-moving response the night of the attack. The report said despite orders from President Obama and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to deploy, the first military force did not do so until more than 13 hours after the attack started.
The report said one anti-terrorism security team known as the FAST unit sat waiting for three hours in Rota, Spain, as Marines changed “in and out of their uniforms four times,” and even debated whether they should carry personal weapons, according to one witness. All together, the report said, “it would take nearly 18 hours” for that team to move.
The report described a web of internal debates and hold-ups, including apparent State Department guidance that “Libya must agree to any deployment,” though Panetta would later say Libya approval was not necessary.
While various officials debated how to proceed, U.S. personnel were under attack at two sites in Benghazi.
In the end, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans -- foreign service officer Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Ty Woods and Glen Doherty -- were killed in the attacks.

And so it begins......Beast will (along with her minions in the corrupt media) do “I told you so” tour of her complete innocence and fortify her decades-long “vast right wing conspiracy” talking point....and of course no one will EVER blame BO for any kind of failure on anything during his reign!!! Just damn!!
* Misled hell. She killed the four by her lack of action.. And then lied like a daemon from hell. *
I ain’t arguing with your logic, Logical me.
Yep. The whole thing is a big nothingburger.
Now that is one very strongly worded letter!
There was no justice provided by the Committee. It was a waste of time and money.
Nope, Stevens THOUGHT he was her friend, now he knows he never was her friend, she used him then climbed over his dead body with lies to cover for he own culpability.
If Hitler had a daughter.
“BUT, Hillary broke no laws even thought her error in judgment caused 4 deaths”
And this is the person the left wants to run the country.
WOW

Yes, CNN even used the word “exonerated”- water carriers will carry water
Consider: The anti-Islamist video story was concocted by political operatives while 25 Americans were fighting for their lives on the ground in Bengazi!
Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith were already dead. The CIA team and the State department survivors were getting SAT phone calls from family asking about the video while they were huddled at the ramparts!
The story of the video is bad enough on its own, but when one considers this was being nurtured and leaked to the media while Air Force, Marine, Delta Force assets were held on the ground by bureaucrats should be devastating information.
They were coordinating transfers of weapons from Qaddaffi’s arsenals to the Turks that were then shipped to isis and al queda in Syria. Probably also trying to buy back sensitive stuff that we had supplied to the Libyan rebels.
At least they took the ambassador to the hospital, dead ambassadors aren’t any good when you want to trade them for a WTC bomber.
