"Some intelligence suggests the attacks were likely put together in short order, following that day's violent protests in Cairo against an inflammatory video"
"Intelligence suggests that the attack was not a highly coordinated plot, but was opportunistic"
"We now know that the CIA's September 15, 2012, talking points were inaccurate in that they wrongly attributed the genesis ofthe Benghazi attacks to protests that became violent. However, as stated in the report, this characterization reflected the assessment by the IC ofthe information available at that time, which lacked sufficient intelligence and eyewitness statements to conclude that there were no protests. Further, it is important to remember that this early assessment was made in the context o f approximately 40 protests around the globe against U.S. embassies and consulates in response to an inflammatory film. There were also other violent attacks against U.S. embassies and consulates in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and other cities around the world on or after September 11. According to CIA emails dated September 16, 2012, the then-Deputy Director ofthe CIA requested further information from CIA staff at Embassy Tripoli about whether there was countervailing evidence of protests that occurred prior to the attacks in Benghazi. It was not until September 24, 2012-eight days later-that the IC revised its assessment that there were no protests leading up to the attacks (see discussion in the main report under Finding #9 for bipartisan Committee views on the development of the intelligence picture after the attacks)."
"The Majority concludes that the interagency coordination process on the talking points followed normal, but rushed coordination procedures and that there were no efforts by the White House or any other Executive Branch entities to "cover-up" facts or make alterations for political purposes."
I'm confused. Who needed this report to conclude that Obama and Hillary lie? They lied before the event and continue to lie after the event about many things.
They will never be held accountable just as GWB and Cheny were never held accountable
While no one wants to discount this tragedy, I fear this is the sum total of GOP prep for 2016.
