House GOP concludes Hillary Clinton blew Benghazi response
The Washington Times ^ | April 23, 2013 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 04/23/2013 1:25:31 PM PDT by jazusamo

House Republicans have concluded that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was responsible for cutting security at the consulate in Benghazi ahead of last year’s attack there, and that the administration lied about why it downplayed terrorism as the cause of the assault.

A new report — the result of months of investigation by five different House committees — says there was plenty of intelligence that presaged the attack, but the State Department and President Obama failed to heed the warnings or give the Defense Department the authority to respond to such an attack.

The report exonerates the Pentagon itself, saying the military did what it could to respond once the attack began, but “was hindered on account of U.S. military forces not being properly postured” beforehand.

In the most damning finding, House Republicans said Mr. Obama and his team lied about the attacks afterward, first by blaming mob violence spawned by an anti-Muslim video, and then wrongly saying it had misled the public because it was trying to protect an FBI investigation.

I will hold my breath waiting for 2 dozen House Republicans to demand face time on the major networks regarding this.

He friggin' lied and we knew it...but at least this way it will get into the history books....in 50 years.

Hillary was used and she knew it. I'd be embarrassed.

8-hour attack with a major US airbase CLOSER to the scene than Tripoli —but NOTHING.

How emboldening would that be?

Emboldening enough to permit for a highly public attack on a major US city?

Barky has his eye on that life preserver his Secretary of State is wearing.

Well it would have been much sooner, but I'm sure that the sequestration is to blame.
