House Benghazi report slams administration response to attacks

A damning report authored by the Republican-led House committee probing the Benghazi terror attacks faulted the Obama administration for a range of missteps before, during and after the fatal 2012 attacks – saying top administration officials huddled to craft their public response while military assets waited hours to deploy to Libya.
The report released Tuesday pointedly blamed a “rusty bureaucratic process” for the slow-moving response the night of the attack. The report said despite orders from President Obama and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to deploy, the first military force did not do so until more than 13 hours after the attack started.
The report said one anti-terrorism security team known as the FAST unit sat waiting for three hours in Rota, Spain, as Marines changed “in and out of their uniforms four times,” and even debated whether they should carry personal weapons, according to one witness. All together, the report said, “it would take nearly 18 hours” for that team to move.
The report described a web of internal debates and hold-ups, including apparent State Department guidance that “Libya must agree to any deployment,” though Panetta would later say Libya approval was not necessary.
While various officials debated how to proceed, U.S. personnel were under attack at two sites in Benghazi.
In the end, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans — foreign service officer Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Ty Woods and Glen Doherty — were killed in the attacks.

Got a heads up from in law to watch Gowdy’s version, which is 180 degrees from the NY Slime bs version.
“NY Times: House Benghazi Report Finds No New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton”
The most important part of this news story to the NY Times is this.
No new evidence guess all those e-mails they found are meaningless oh wait it’s the media army at work white washing time 24/7.
LOL the New York Times is just a parody of news these days.
Leaders, or those who want to be leaders, need to do more than avoiding wrong-doing. They need to actually step up and DO the right thing.
Clinton didn’t do that. She failed, miserably, on numerous levels, starting with causing a stable (but nasty) regime to fall, leading to anarchy. The last failure, that of not doing anything to save these fine people at their hour of greatest need, is only the cream on the cake. That she and her toadies then went ahead and lied their ample asses off about what happened, to avoid taking blame, is metaphysical proof that she is not qualified to lead a girl-scout troop, let alone this nation.
Trump should run Hillary’s “3 A.M. phone call” ad from 2008, and juxtaposition it with actual pictures of dead bodies and burned buildings from the Benghazi incident. Show her LYING her fat ass off. Close with, “Is THIS the kind of leadership that you want for our nation?”
There are no true patriots alive today. It WON'T happen. Waaaaay too much sacrifice involved for that there, bucko!
Plenty of us are outraged. The problem isn't that. The problem is that we are entirely unwilling to do a damn thing about it. May our chains rest lightly, and may posterity forget we were countrymen. And it will forget, too, because we have lost based on our totaly unwillingness to fight. The left has won, and will write the history books.
Sorry my bad. Somehow I thought he was from Texas.
NB: No “NEW” evidence! However, the old stuff is still there!!
It’s difficult to definitively demonstrate incompetence - sort of like proving a negative.....
