[take57]

Read it and weep Issa... From the New York Times:

"Its report asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration officials."

ahhh... let me write that once more. Again, from the GOP led House report:
"Its report asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration officials."

Let's take a moment to absorb that.

Hey guy's! How bout it? Let's talk about the Benghazi Conspiracy and how this is the sure road to impeachment for the president and the downfall of the entire administration.
It's been on page one of the forum for almost 2 years now.
What happened?

House Intelligence Committee's Benghazi Report Torches Conspiracy Theories

"WASHINGTON -- Yet another detailed investigation into the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, has refuted claims that there was a coverup or that officials didn't do all they could at the time to save the four Americans killed that night.
The latest findings, released Friday, come from the declassified two-year investigation of the House Intelligence Committee, which conducted an exhaustive probe into the incident, including claims that the White House cooked up phony talking points for then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice."

"Among its findings, the report says CIA personnel responded not just well, but heroically; that there was no "stand down" order, as some critics have claimed; there was no intimidation of witnesses by superiors; there was no intelligence failure prior to the attack; and that a "mixed group" of individuals, including some linked to al Qaeda, participated in the attack.
But perhaps the most significant conclusion is its finding that Rice's talking points -- a key focus of the Benghazi Select Committee empaneled by House Speaker John Boehner -- were not part of an attempt to conceal the severity of the incident."

Boehner's own Committee.

So the GOP didnt lie and make things up in order to make Obama look bad.. he did that all by himself..

Notice how this Republican committee kept this quiet and covered-up until after the election.

I don't see why, there's so many more stories they can make up about the administration to keep them away from doing any real work.

The report absolved them of wrongdoing, but did blame them for incompetence, which the NYT and you libs here conveniently downplay.

This has always been my position. It wasn't the administrations fault that it happened, it was the lies that got them in trouble.

From the OP's link:

"Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who serves on the intelligence panel and the Benghazi select committee, said, "It's my hope that this report will put to rest many of the questions that have been asked and answered yet again, and that the Benghazi Select Committee will accept these findings and instead focus its attention on the State Department's progress in securing our facilities around the world and standing up our fast response capabilities."

Did this guy just fall off the turnip truck? He is incredibly naive to believe the GOP has ever cared a whit about the truth. This is the seventh investigation that has issued a report with similar findings, and yet what has been the Republican response to these findings? They have yet an eighth "investigation" ongoing as we speak. Anyone who thinks this is about anything but an attempt to smear the administration and Clinton is either an idiot or a liar.

My guess is that none of the rabid rightwingers here will pay any attention to these findings because they refute their dearest hopes and dreams. They will blithely ignore it and continue to screech: BENGHAZI!!!!!! as if nothing happened. Because they want "the truth." Riiight.

Actually this is the first real news composed of hard facts on Benghazi. You can bet this thread will sink like a Milli Vanilli song on the Billboard top 100. Nobody wants to hear it.
