Fox News Dismissed Today’s Benghazi Report in Less Than 30 Seconds

Obama left them to die so it wouldn't conflict with his campaign message that AQ was on the run. The facility had been attacked several times up to that point and reporters (anyone could just walk up to the compound) days later found up to the day of the attack (9/11) ambassador Stevens had asked for help. Help that never came.

In an around about way that's what the report said. That Al Qaeda was running all over Libya, North Africa and the Middle East while Obama was proclaiming that Al Qaeda was being decimated and was on the run.

The report also mentioned that there was a request for air support but no order was issued because there was no longer any air support available like there was before Obama started to decimate our military. No air support available, no order issued so no stand down order for an order that was never issued.

Obama seems to be all about making bad decisions, from our military readiness to domestic policy. Why were our people even deployed to where there wasn't air cover available?
 
Hello, precisely what is it the report didn't clear Hillary's State Dept and the White House of?

You understand that you will never get an answer to these questions, right? It's because they don't have one.

Oh, they will answer, just not honestly.
 
“The House Intelligence Committee says the initial assessment of the Benghazi terror attacks two years ago, that they were in fact terrorist in nature, was accurate,” Henry reported. “It says CIA and Obama administration officials later supported the incorrect scenario that the attacks were motivated by an internet video and stuck with that for several days.”

Not sure how that makes it less of a scandal. Someone decided to override analysts' judgment.

Yes, that someone was a deputy director of the CIA, Mike Morrell who wrote the talking point memos and he clearly said before a congressional committee hearing that neither he or the CIA make a distinction between a terrorist attack and a violent protest. So what difference does it make?

Too silly to merit reply.

Perhaps you'd be happier writing a blog than participating on public debate forum? You're obviously not here to debate the issues.
 
That's hilarious coming from you Grim, you had the opposite opinion when George Tenet was involved with President Bush.

They didn't make up intelligence or make up cover stories for the Administration and you damned well know it Pete... If you've forgotten, just review the evidence that you don't have that supports that accusation,...

Now back to the topic of how Obama lied to the American people about that attack.

I don't waste time on those unfamiliar with the facts.

It's highly debatable that you're familiar with facts yourself just judging by how quickly you need to resort to fallacious dismissive attacks whenever you're challenged...which seems to be almost every other post for you. Do you know the difference between indoctrinate and debate, jack?

Now back to the topic of how Obama lied to the American people about that attack.

You said George Tenet was there to protect President Bush. David Petraeus signed the talking points, even though he didn't agree with them all.

Can you prove President Obama lied to the American people to protect his reelection bid? The fact he got 5 million more votes than Romney is a testament his ground game was better than Romney's. Plus, he was the incumbent and Romney's campaign really sucked.

I never said any such thing.

Jesus Pete... Any president not wanting to disclose the group responsible for national security reasons, goes with a "no comment" type of strategy where they say it's an ongoing investigation or something of that nature... They do not make up a phony and misleading (not a terrorist attack) story like they did... especially when the story publicly implicates an innocent civilian in the 4 deaths.

Obama and his Administration lied Pete... Even his loyal fans in the media knows he lied... It's a no-brainer for anyone who isn't under the spell of partisan liberal politics.

Irrelevant... who cares... off-topic

Did you not say it was the responsibility of George Tenet to vett Bush's speeches?
I am still waiting for you to prove Obama lied to protect his reelection bid.

The CIA vetted Bush's speeches to assure that they accurately reflected the current intelligence, which is not "making up cover stories" for the Administration, nor was it a case of George Tenet protecting Bush... It was the Bush Administration protecting the president from saying anything that didn't accurately reflect the intelligence reports, by having them checked before hand.

Believe what you want Pete... That's all you ever do anyway.

Back at you Grim, believe what you want.
 
Here's some good analysis:

http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/11/23/this-is-the-way-benghazi-ends/

The ending says:

"When you think of the staggering amount of time and resources devoted to chasing down this rabbit-hole, you have to wonder what is really fueling the GOP. I don’t think it’s a positive agenda to tackle some of our obviously pressing problems: eleven million undocumented immigrants, climate change, Iran’s nuclear potential, Jihadism in Iraq, soaring inequality. I think it’s rabid hatred of a president who does not share their priorities and a desperation to find some kind of quick and easy way of consigning him to a treasonous asterisk. They’ve failed on both counts."
 
Obama seems to be all about making bad decisions, from our military readiness to domestic policy. Why were our people even deployed to where there wasn't air cover available?

From what I remember from Obama and the Secretary of Defense that the main job and the main priority of America's national defense and the U.S. military during the Obama administration is social engineering of the military and more than any thing is to combat sexual harassment with in the military services, not national defense.

The report still doesn't answer the question of where was Obama on the night of Sept. 12th, and who was in charge as CnC, Obama or Valerie Jarrett. ?

This Is The Way “Benghazi” Ends … « The Dish

Maybe an incompetent President who is derelict in his duties as CnC and has been incompetent as POTUS/CnC, has continuously lied to the American people and had bypassed Congress because he refuses or doesn't know how to be a leader.

Every thing with Obama is political.
