uh whatever side you are on, of course there was failure. People died. Period.

The point of contention hasn't been the intelligence or the release of it. It's been that they HAD the intelligence/requests and did NOTHING with it.

Stay on track brah!

I'll be back to list some of the trash spewed by that network.

Don't bother. Nobody wants to read the trash you spew.

During the October 24 edition of Fox News' The Five, while discussing the Benghazi attack, co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle said of the administration, "[I]n this particular situation, they decided [American lives] were expendable." [Fox News, The Five, 10/24/12]

Fox News national security analyst K.T. McFarland claimed the supposed absence of aid to the consulate was "probably" politically motivated. [Fox News, America Live, 10/10/12]

On the October 25 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, host Neil Cavuto asked his guest, former CIA official and Fox regular Michael Scheuer, to comment on upcoming congressional hearings about the September 11 Benghazi attack. Scheuer replied, "[T]he Democrats are very good at watching Americans die, Neil," [Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, 10/25/12]

We've got the scandal of an American president, whose people -- I don't know if he personally sat there and watched that video -- but his people sat there and watched as this happened, and did nothing. Didn't even try to call in, you know, the assets that were available. [Fox News, America Live, 10/25/12]

So much more....

Interesting.

What kind of failure was it then, that placed a US Ambassador in an indefensible location, in a city long since evacuated by most other foreign services due to terrorist threats, on 9/11?

I punched in "Benghazi source: Fox News" into Google advanced search and found ZERO coverage there of the House Committee's UNANIMOUS bipartisan report which cleared Obama and Clinton and their Administration

---

The House Select Committee on Intelligence has not yet released its report. Some Dems on the committee gave partisan "previews" of it a few weeks ago before the congressional recess.

I repeat, for those of you who do not follow this subject closely, no one in the media or the public has yet seen this report.

When it is released, keep in mind that it likely mirrors the Senate Intelligence Committee's report, which had a common , mostly subjective section on factual events, followed by both a majority report and a minority report.

These two committees LIMITED the scope of their investigations to the involvement of the intelligence community in the Benghazi events. Period.

I have always made clear that the role of the intelligence community was a very minor part of the story, and I have never veered from that position. Same with the Department of Defense role.

The State Dept, and its senior staff were the villains of Benghazi and both the Senate and House Intelligence Committees have laid the blame squarely on State (the Senate in its final report and the House in its interim report).

The above is a flat out LIE by Rex. Not a mistake. Not a misstatement. Not a misinterpretation.

It's a lie.

Let me add that he knows I take note of any thread with Benghazi in the title and he most likely started this thread primarily to get a reaction from me, since there is nothing at all new in what he posted.

I weighed whether to give him the satisfaction of inducing me into a response, but have chosen to do so for the purpose of enlightening the readers as to the fallacy of his information and conclusion.

I am not going to get into a back-and-forth with him in this thread because that's what he wants me to do, and quite frankly, it's a waste of time and effort.

I have expressed myself in no uncertain terms in this post, and will let it stand as my only post in this thread.

Form your own conclusions, believe or not believe, but let me be clear that Rex is lying here - and that's the way it is.

So the Ambassador was purposely put in harms way?

Let's see, so-called diplomatic facilities were being used to conduct operations that had nothing to do with consular operations. Exactly what those operations were have not been disclosed to the American public, but there can be little doubt those operations were being conducted by intelligence agencies rather than the State Department. Rather than explain what was happening in Benghazi we get a report from a Congressional Committee that basically says, let's just put this matter behind us.

No thanks. I think there was a deliberate attempt to keep the operations in Benghazi as low profile as possible. There was a conscious decision to trade security for stealth. Thus the repeated refusals to provide additional security personnel, as requested by Ambassador Stevens.

It is funny that you, the atheist who ridicules others for their faith in religions, are willing to accept something on faith when the evidence to prove, or disprove, the conclusion is available but being deliberately withheld from you. I choose to remain skeptical, and simply refuse to believe the conclusions drawn from evidence that is being intentionally withheld from me.
