Same Old Song and Dance – Part III
Remember Benghazi? You know, that little incident in North Africa that left a US Ambassador and three others dead? The one that the current Administration tried initially to blame on an “inflammatory Internet video” that nobody had ever heard of? The incident about which someone famously later asked, “At this point, what difference does it make?”
Well, the House Select Committee on Benghazi has finally released its report on Benghazi. And here’s the “money quote”:
“None of the information coming directly from the agents on the ground in Benghazi during the attacks mentioned anything about a video or a protest. The firsthand accounts made their way to the office of the Secretary through multiple channels quickly . . . ,” the report concluded.
That’s not all. Apparently the SECSTATE e-mailed her daughter that the attack was due to an “al Quaeda-like (sic) group”. So yeah – she knew “up front” that Benghazi wasn’t about any damn film.
However, the beginning of the “spin campaign” regarding Benghazi started that very evening. A White House meeting held that day – roughly 3 hours after the attack – focused on tying the attack to the famous video blamed for it. Fully half (5 of 10) of the action items from that meeting referenced the video alleged later to have spurred the attack.
Now that seems kinda strange to me, considering that no one on site mentioned a protest or a video in their SITREPs. You’d think they’d have mentioned something like that – if it occurred.
In fact, it almost looks like they were already looking for an excuse to blame the film for something – and Benghazi provided the excuse. But maybe that’s just me.
And yeah – the SECSTATE was at that meeting.
Fox News has a good article giving more details concerning the report. IMO It’s worth a read.
Or, if you like, you can read the House Select Committee Report here.
Yep – your leg’s wet. And regarding Benghazi, it’s been wet since 2012.

When are they all leaving? I will be so glad when they’re gone!
The last I heard , the guy that made the video was still in jail? What did they do release him or throw the key away?
The douchebag-in-chief refused to talk to the Benghazi committee. Guess he didn’t want to have to admit that he was sleeping while his ambassador was being murdered. Any REAL leader would have been in the Sit Room the whole night. That is, after he had called the Libyan to tell them that we were coming and they better get the fuck out of the way.
And Clinton really showed her true colors by worrying about her ass instead of the lives of the men and women under attack. Makes me want to puke. Please God, do not let her be elected!
The Dems are just hoping and praying that, by denying, denying, denying, this will go away…I sure hope we don’t let that happen.
What’s almost as worse is there is a breed of Americans who don’t give a damn about the truth and will vote for her anyway.
He didn’t need to lose sleep over it! His slimey bed buddies, the demons from hell already advised him what they were going to do!!
Instead of formulating an immediate response plan, they went into CYA mode, then lied about all of it…all just prior to the election. Karma needs to hurry up and catch up to all of them.
Hillary Cankles is still today, thinking that she can call the shots on the disposition of things regarding this, telling her bobbing head supporters/voters, that there is nothing to this report.
Sadly, I don’t have faith in either the House, the Senate, or the Justice department. I doubt we will ever see justice in this. We are so screwed.
Transparency achieved.
In case anyone has not yet seen “13 hours” I highly recommend it. I don’t know that the film is 100% accurate about the events of that night or not, but I am confident that the filmmakers have gotten the general outline of the events of September 11th 2012 in Libya down pretty well. The fact that a U.S. Ambassador was sent to such an obviously dangerous and insecure location shows a serious lack of judgment by our government at the time.
It is an outstanding movie and it will piss you off. I’m sure that I upset some of my fellow moviegoers as I screamed out during the film!
What is despicable and disgusting is that the Democrats report is 339 pages of finger pointing as opposed to “just the facts.” The Table of Contents and outline from A-Z starts out with “Republicans…” in every point. When you read Gowdy’s report, he uses the names, dates and cites each thing. The LIV still believe it was a video that caused the attack and they still believe it was a witch hunt…and now HRC is saying they released it to hurt her chances as Prez, !!! AS IF she hasn’t lied about Benghazi, lied about er emails, or the Clinton Cash. WTF are we coming to as a nation who would have leaders denying the truth? #UFB
SMOD, where art thou?
Change your clothes four times?
Can you imagine what things will be like, when HRC has the power of the unlimited Pardon?
Vote wisely.
Emailing your daughter instead of doing your fucking job.
That whole family is made up of craven power hungry whores.
Kevin Williamson at National Review called them “a gang of scrofulous grifters”.
Dead on.
