Hi Tweaker... I've been lucky enough to be out to Hawaii once, but the $4.00 gallons of Milk made me realize I couldn't live there. Just kinda joshing with you and hoping you'll see the conservative light some day.

Wait, come again? 7 investigations and so far Obama hasn't been impeached yet over this?

what am I missing? I thought this story had gone critical? I thought this was the end of Obama and Hillary?

Not enough Americans care that we armed ISIS.

Does it need to be written in crayon for you?

No shit. The report is out of the HOUSE, which is controlled by Republicans, and the idiots still don't believe it. The reason the report has been quietly released now is because the election is over. Just like how ebola fell out of the news, no need to whip the idiots into a frothy lather until the next election.

Being Republican means you never have to say you were wrong.

No problem at all. I do have conservative leanings on some social and fiscal issues, moderately speaking.

I do enjoy reading your posts btw.

Or use facts, logic, reasoned thinking... Just set your hair on fire and run to the nearest microphone.


The House Intelligence Committee has issued its final report investigating the attacks on US officials in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, and September 12, 2012.

-The report concludes that "the CIA ensured sufficient security for CIA facilities … and, without a requirement to do so, ably and bravely assisted the State Department on the night of the attacks … Appropriate US personnel made reasonable tactical decisions that night, and the Committee found no evidence that there was either a stand down order or a denial of available air support."

It also claims there was "no intelligence failure prior to the attacks."

The report defends then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice by concluding that her comments on September 16 attributing the attacks to a protest came before the CIA concluded there was no protest.

There is no evidence, the report states, that any officers were "intimidated, wrongly forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement or otherwise kept from speaking to Congress."

It backs up six previous investigations into the attacks; the United States House Select Committee on Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi has yet to issue its report.

I'll speak against anyone who thinks the stand down order was anything more than a local decision on what to do with a 3-man team.

You know that this report found no evidence of shipping arms to Syria either, right?

Denying an action which our government openly did months later...

It stretches credibility to think we weren't covertly doing exactly what we wanted, months before we came out to profess our intent. This is after Libya fell, after Obama's "red line" for Syria. Obama wanted Assad to fall next, and blood had already begun spilling in Syria. Coincidence?

We were involved in sending arms to Syria in 2012.

Benghazi is a known African hub for funneling weapons into Syria.

"I think the report is full of crap," Graham told Gloria Borger on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

There you have it..the GOP faithful will now totally believe that there is another coverup....the great Lindsey Graham has said spoken!

You can't make this up. Pure comedy.

It doesn't necessarily mean that has anything to do with the attacks and the deaths though. To me, this whole thing is pretty simple: Somebody (probably not Obama or Hillary) screwed up, White House jumped into damage mode to spin the story the way that presented the least political damage to themselves (just as Team Romney was spinning it in the way that presented the most political damage to Team Obama), and none of that had anything to do with, nor would have prevented, the deaths. Two of them MIGHT have been preventable had we not gotten caught stepping on our collective dick, or we might have had even more deaths. This is war, and effective preparation does not grant one life's G-d code.

This whole thing is just political theater. Take the stand-down order; pretty clear this was simply the operators' immediate CIA boss telling them to stand down for the moment, not an unreasonable action given the uncertainty. Yet the left is bound and determined to "prove" it never happened and the right is equally determined to "prove" it came directly from Obama. The only thing that has really pissed me off (at Americans) is when they tried to claim that they offered and he turned down the Ambassador the exact thing that he requested and they denied on the record.

I really, really don't like the idea that we hung an Ambassador out on a limb in a very dangerous neighborhood without proper American security, but I very much doubt that is unique, and I assume they had what they believed were valid reasons to take the risk.

That there was a terrorist attack, 11 years to the day, on Sept 11, 2012, that Obama and his staff tried to portray as something other than a terrorist attack. A response to a youtube video.

It's not my fault! You can almost imagine Obama running around a room, to his top advisors. It's not my fault! He exclaims.

Let's blame it on a video.

4 People dead.

I bet a ninth investigation will really clear this up.

Serious question, has any foreign policy issue in American history been investigated as thoroughly as this one? I'm not aware of one, and this is including the real 9/11 attack, Pearl Harbor, etc, etc.
