    Why would members of the Saudi Royal Family, rulers of an ally country, need to be spirited out when all other flights were grounded?

    Unfounded implications as the latest report and the 6 before it point out. Read S_L's post above.

    So how much more taxpayer money are you willing to spend on the farce, Senator Fiscal McTeaBagger?

    First to trashmouthbarracuda, it may be obvious to you mind less liberals, but it seems there are more people to hear on this investigation, and there seems to be no clear understanding on some of what people on the ground at the anex had to say.

    Now corolla, Issa won't be leading this investigation they decided to put someone with balls at point. You say the republican led, as you call it witch hunt, should not be wasting any more tax payer money on the Bengahzi investigation maybe if the community organizer from Chicago was a little more straight forward and trustworthy with the American people we wouldn't need to keep digging for the truth.

    Their exoneration of the White House was sweeping and nearly absolute. So sweeping that I want to quote directly from the report's summary, rather than paraphrasing it. Here it is:

    The Committee first concludes that the CIA ensured sufficient security for CIA facilities in Benghazi....Appropriate U.S. 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....

    Second, the Committee finds that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks. In the months prior, the IC provided intelligence about previous attacks and the increased threat environment in Benghazi, but the IC did not have specific, tactical warning of the September 11 attacks.

    Third, the Committee finds that a mixed group of individuals, including those affiliated with Al Qa'ida, participated in the attacks....

    Fourth, the Committee concludes that after the attacks, the early intelligence assessments and the Administration's initial public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attacks were not fully accurate....There was no protest. The CIA only changed its initial assessment about a protest on September 24, 2012, when closed caption television footage became available on September 18, 2012 (two days after Ambassador Susan Rice spoke)....

    Fifth, the Committee finds that the process used to generate the talking points HPSCI asked for—and which were used for Ambassador Rice's public appearances—was flawed....

    Finally, the Committee found no evidence that any officer was intimidated, wrongly forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement or otherwise kept from speaking to Congress, or polygraphed because of their presence in Benghazi. The Committee also found no evidence that the CIA conducted unauthorized activities in Benghazi and no evidence that the IC shipped arms to Syria.

    There’s more from a right-wing website I read. To rub it in a bit more

    Read that list again. Late on a Friday afternoon, when it would get the least attention, a Republican-led committee finally admitted that every single Benghazi conspiracy theory was false. There are ways that the response to the attacks could have been improved, but that’s it. Nobody at the White House interfered. Nobody lied. Nobody prevented the truth from being told.

    What are you some sort of isolated troll living in delusion as regards the outcome of world events? You certainly post as though you have absolutely no clue how to comprehend the results nor the ability to express an original thought. I suggest you return to your never ending troll thread of one man discussion regarding all things gay. Can't go wrong with cut and paste and no audience disagreement.

    And they are still getting played, they've swallowed the Fox News Kool Aid, and wankers like Boehner and Gowdy are desperate to divert their attention from the fact that they are palpably shit at governing.

    Thought Benghazi went away did you? Heh, it's back better than before 'cuz more evidence of multiple cover ups are spilling forth:

    STATE DEPARTMENT BLOCKING BENGHAZI COMMITTEE ACCESS TO WITNESSES



    The State Department is blocking Congressional access to key first-hand witnesses of the 9/11 Benghazi attacks, citing a need to protect their personal safety.

    “We understand the committee’s interest in interviewing these agents and I’m sure the committee does not want to take any action that would create risks to their personal safety or their ability to do their jobs,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joel Rubin said during his opening statement at a hearing today of the Benghazi Select Committee.

    Rubin explained that the State Department was trying to find a way for them to participate with the select committee, chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), “without endangering these men and their families.”

    The State Department revealed that is is also concerned about jeopardizing the Justice Department investigation being carried out by Attorney General Eric Holder.

    “We want to avoid interfering with the Department of Justice’s ongoing investigations and prosecutions,” Rubin said.

    He added that the State Department was “hopeful” an accommodation with the committee could be reached.

    Gowdy questioned Rubin’s statement that somehow the Benghazi committee would endanger the Justice Department investigation by conducting interviews of the witnesses, when other agencies were allowed to conduct similar interviews including the State Department’s independent review board.

    “Sir, I’m not an attorney, I’m not a prosecutor,” Rubin replied, asserting that the Justice Department was the agency that warned of a negative impact.

    Gowdy pressed Rubin about the importance of allowing the committee to hear testimony from the witnesses.

    “If six people observed an important event and you were being asked to write a final definitive accounting of that event, how many of the six would you want to talk to?” Gowdy asked.

    Rubin stumbled, failing to directly answer the question."

    It's like the GOP think that as long as they don't admit that they have nothing, they have something.

    This should be good. More lies and crap like: "What does it matter?"

    EPORT: HILLARY CLINTON AGREES TO TESTIFY BEFORE BENGHAZI PANEL



    Former Secretary of State and likely 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has agreed to testify before the House Select Committee on the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi.

    Reportedly, she was first contacted in that regard by the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings.

    According to reports, neither Clinton nor a spokesperson on her behalf has commented on her pending appearance.

    The U.S. consulate in Libya was attacked on Sept. 11, 2012. Four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, were killed. Initially, the attack was thought to be perpetrated by an angry mob responding to a video made in the U.S. which mocked Islam and the Prophet Mohammed, but was later determined to be a terrorist attack…

    The attack has remained a political issue for Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, since 2012. As the former first lady eyes a potential presidential bid, a number of Republicans have signaled that Benghazi will be a main line of attack against Clinton."

    She can sit there and start listing all the pointless investigations they've carried out and the results they found themselves that said the administration was blameless.

    She can also point out that so far there as been no apology for the outright lies for which they've been exposed.

    And make them look like c u n t s.

    Damn right it should be good, I assume the cameras will be on?

    They've had all these investigations into it and they haven't asked HRC before? And it takes Democrat to think of it?

    If that is true then it looks like the GOP were scared to go head to head with HRC because they think she'll drink their milkshakes or something.

    how many congressional benghazi investigations have there been?

    didn't HRC already testify in at one of those hearings?

    so it begs the question......why, exactly, should be the american people be paying for another round of HRC testimony at another benghazi hearing?

    Because the Koch Brothers brainwashing manual assumes that retards will think "Hillary..... Benghazi....... Hillary..... Benghazi.......".

    The trouble is that they already do. That's why they vote Republican and watch Fox "News".

    These people can't be serious!

    State Dept´s Psaki: Third Embassy - Evacuation In Middle East Doesn´t Mean U.S. Is Being Run Out Of Town

    Following in the footsteps of their counterparts in Syria and Libya, western diplomats in Yemen fled from their posts ahead of a new revolutionary government, leaving behind supplies, weapons, vehicles and cash.

    MATT LEE, ASSOCIATED PRESS: Jen, more broadly on Yemen, this is the third embassy that you guys have had to uncharitably, perhaps, say, abandon in an Arab Spring country since the first one, which was Syria. Is there a broader concern that you’re being – the U.S. is being run out of town in the Arab world?"

    Here's a thought . . . It's not part of the USA. The USA doesn't belong there. The USA has murdered tens or hundreds of thousands of people there.

    All those who want the US to remain in that shithole of a place, send your sons to fight there
