No Wonder The White House Wants To Dismiss The House Benghazi Report
Originally published on LonelyConservative.com
The report of a two-year long investigation into Benghazi was released today and of course the White House is dismissing it. The White House claims it is just a political hit, which I’m sure is what they want you to believe because they’d rather that than voters knowing how inept the response to the attack was.
— Despite President Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s clear orders to deploy military assets, nothing was sent to Benghazi, and nothing was en route to Libya at the time the last two Americans were killed almost 8 hours after the attacks began.
The report states on page 149: “When the attacks in Benghazi began, the Defense Department was unprepared to respond. Despite there being a missing U.S. Ambassador, its response—from the start of the attack at 9:42 p.m. in Libya, to the amount of time it took for the forces to actually deploy until late the next morning in Libya—at best illustrates a rusty bureaucratic process not in keeping with the gravity and urgency of the events happening on the ground.”
— With Ambassador Stevens missing, the White House convened a roughly two-hour meeting at 7:30 PM. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated, but President Obama nor Defense Secretary Panetta were not. The agenda included “action items” focused on a YouTube video; and other items containing the phrases “[i]f any deployment is made,” and “Libya must agree to any deployment,” and “[w]ill not deploy until order comes to go to either Tripoli or Benghazi.”
The report contains emails confirming “the understanding among the individuals participating in the White House meeting that deployment to Benghazi was not imminent. As the Defense Department timeline shows, none of the orders given to the assets that night contained an order to deploy to Benghazi. The FAST platoons were ordered to prepare to deploy, not to deploy. The CIF (Commander’s in Extremis Force) and the U.S. based SOF (Special Operations Force) were ordered to deploy only to an intermediate staging base, not to Benghazi or Tripoli.”
Oh, and then there’s this, the administration’s priorities while Americans were dying.
Rep. Trey Gowdy and fellow members of the probe looking into the attack said Tuesday that the administration appeared more concerned with an anti-Islamic film than with getting aid to the Americans taking fire.
In the draft of their report, which has been two years in the making, the Republicans on the probe said the key moment was a White House conference call at 7:30 the night of the attack. Even as the assault was ongoing, and as those on the ground were relaying back to Washington details of well-trained fighters attacking, the top aides on the call focused on the video. (Read More)
They were more concerned about coming up with some lame, fake excuse for the attack than doing anything to put an end to it. Hillary Clinton, included.
The scathing report, released Tuesday morning, also found that senior members of the Obama administration, including then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and senior White House adviser Ben Rhodes, twisted the facts during and after the Sept. 11, 2012, terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, to preserve the illusion that the threat of terrorism was fading, just weeks before President Obama’s re-election.

What was that Clinton and Obama are saying about politics and Benghazi again?
