SFGate ^ | 3:53 pm, Friday, August 1, 2014 | Carolyn Lockhead

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.

The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to approve making the report public.

Thompson said the report “confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given.” …

Somebody tell me again that any Republican is better than a Democrat, and why I MUST vote for the “R.”

If someone can tell me how Gowdy, Sessions, and Cruz will run the GOP, I’ll vote that way.

Otherwise pick a conservative party and i’ll start sending checks.

We don’t need a third party, we need to replace the GOP or make it the third party.

So true. It was a front for a CIA gun running operation.

Question of the day/year/century/eternity:

What computers did the CIA NOT hack into?

It is not a question which will be answered or even asked by the GOP members of the House, Senate and SCOTUS who have bowed to the will of Obama, aka Hackees.

The Chicago Way.

The U.S. government is a genuine kakistocracy.

That’s certainly a start!

However, we’ve now had several generations of public school kids who have been taught very little about the history of this country. Our public schools have been corrupted by liberal curricula and liberal teachers.

Maybe we need the second American Revolution?

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that...”Thompson said the report “confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given.” …”

All complete and total lies, and we all know it.

We know the administration lied about the cause of the attack.
We know military assets were withheld.
We know military assets were told not to go in.

Every person on that committee is a Republican, yet, they lied.

Mike Rogers, Chairman, Michigan, Republican
Mac Thornberry, Texas, Republican
Jeff Miller, Florida, Republican
Mike Conaway, Texas, Republican
Peter King, New York, Republican
Frank LoBiondo, New Jersey, Republican
Devin Nunes, California, Republican
Lynn Westmoreland, Georgia, Republican
Michele Bachmann, Minnesota, Republican
Thomas J Rooney, Florida, Republican
Joe Heck, Nevada, Republican
Mike Pompeo, Kansas, Republican

Someone want to tell me why I should ever vote for another Republican? ANY Republican?

We’re still at the “Thompson said” stage.

Of course, the leaders of that committee are RINOs besides.

It might be small consolation, but this is a liberal paper’s interpretation of the report.

>>However, how come it always seems to be that the 20% they DON’T agree with you ends up getting done? When it comes to the potential that one of these GOP goobers will take his 20% and vote for Amnesty, or just plain ignore complete treachery by this government, what good is that 80%? That 80% is all stump-speech pablum and lies - that’s what it is.

You’re right. The 80% is the effort they expend trying to convince us to vote for them, and the 20% is what they do to serve the Progressive One-Party system.

True. The list I got was not complete. Still, that’s a lot of prominent Republicans that allowed this crap to be passed.

Was Panetta asked if there was any order to send help? And if yes, why didn’t he follow orders?

that call

SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL:“...I neglected to mention from the top that that agent from the top of this incident, or the very beginning of this incident, has been on the phone. He had called the quick reaction security team, he had called the Libyan authorities, he had called the Embassy in Tripoli, and he had called Washington.”
