So we have
Some interesting findings:
Warnings Before the Attacks and Failures to Provide Security
There was no singular "tactical warning" in the intelligence reporting leading up to the events on September 11, 2012, predicting an attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi on the 9/11 anniversary,
These, I thought, were surprising, considering how much the Republicans stated otherwise
There were no U.S. military resources in position to intervene in short order in Benghazi to help defend the Temporary Mission Facility and its Annex on September 11 and 12, 2012.
The Majority believes that the CIA talking points were flawed but-as discussed in the report-painted a mostly accurate picture of the IC's analysis of the Benghazi attacks at that time, in an unclassified form and without compromising the nascent investigation of the attacks
I found this rather interesting:
Despite the clearly deteriorating security situation in Benghazi and requests for additional security resources, few significant improvements were made by the State Department to the security posture of the Temporary Mission Facility. Although the Mission facility met the minimum personnel requirements ~or
Diplomatic Security agents as accepted by the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli at the time of the August 15 EAC meeting (specifically, the three Diplomatic Security agents were assigned to guard the Mission compound), the Committee found no evidence that significant actions were taken by the State Department between August 15, 2012, and September 11, 2012, to increase security at the Mission facility in
response to the concerns raised in that meeting. According to the report of the ARB, "there appeared to be very real confusion over who, ultimately, was responsible and empowered to make decisions...
In contrast, the CIA, in response to the same deteriorating security situation and IC threat reporting, consistently upgraded its security posture over the same time period. Specifically, the attack on the British Ambassador's convoy by a rocket-propelled grenade on June 11, 2012, led to a CIA security audit ofthe
Annex. As a result, CIA quickly implemented additional security measures due to the threat of continued attacks against Western personnel in Benghazi.
All of that to say, in the conclusion

the Americans serving in Libya were vulnerable; the State Department knew they were vulnerable; and no one in the Administration really did anything about it.

Quite interesting read. All 85 pages.

You see, it wasn't incompetence that the Balsacks, and Travellinwank67s, and Bungholes, and their greek chorus accused our President of with respect to Benghazi, but murder, treason, and causing cancer.

As usual they were wrong. Lets see how many of them man up. :coffee:
You wouldn't know if we "manned up" or not, since you're too busy cupping Obama's balls, stroking his shaft and swallowing his load to notice what's going on in the real world.

Conk incompetence costs 3000 American civilian lives, 5000 American soldiers' lives and 100,000+ innocent civilian lives including women and children. (Iraq and 9/11)

Perspective.

Now that conks have established the Obama Administration did nothing wrong in Benghazi, what are they gonna do now?

1. Deny birth control to women.
2. Redouble efforts to marginalize gays.
3. What they've been doing for 6 years - nothing.
4. Vilify the poor yet give real welfare whores (big oil, Wall Street, military, lazy/worthless government workers) a pass.
5. Kill brown skinned people.
6. Fuck underage boys.
7. Pray for Obama's death.
8. Beat off more.
9. Cowardly give up and become a loud mouthed bum.

By your own admission, the Obama Administration's incompetence resulted in four State Dept officer's deaths.

And you think it's ok.

Because Obama didn't do it "intentionally".
