Funny what shows up on a hide the news day
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/ecc3a...ghazi-theories
WASHINGTON (AP) — A two-year investigation by the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has found that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees. Debunking a series of persistent allegations hinting at dark conspiracies, the investigation of the politically charged incident determined that there was no intelligence failure, no delay in sending a CIA rescue team, no missed opportunity for a military rescue, and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria.

Obviously the House Intelligence Committee, and the AP, are part of the conspiracy.

A happy ending to the investigation just in time for the holidays. That's what we like to see from our representatives, thanks Congress!

One who knows only what they were told to believe saw a conspiracy. Intelligent moderates collected facts before knowing anything. Therefore got it right. At this point, one would think everyone learned from Mission Accomplished. Even lying talk show host still refuse to apologize for a massacre they advocated of 5000 American servicemen. In fact, wacko extremist Paul Bremer said (last week) we should again invade Iraq. Wackos love thirty and fifty years wars. Since that gets extremists to support and enrich them. Or in the case of Limbaugh, pay for his oxycotin addiction. Last edited by tw; 11-22-2014 at 05:33 PM. |

Illegal, apparently not. But anyone who doesn't realize they intentionally tried to mislead with that bogus video crap is an idiot - yeh you.

John Boehner will be appointing Trey Gowdy (R, SC) to head the investigation into Benghazi.

There is such a double standard with a lot of these posts. I guess you "I told you so" people on Benghazi were the same people who said this should have been over a long time ago. Yet, I guess, you all also think the "Senate" report on torture is somehow still relevant many years later. What a hatchet job! Let's face it there are idiots i.e. political opportunists on both sides. The Dems got their clocks cleaned in the last election and they will resort to anything to switch the attention back to Bush/Cheyney. Enjoy the next two years! You deserve it!

We've had numerous reports about the "Benghazi incident" (tm). None of them turned up anything like the hoped-for scandal heavily promoted by Fox News and their ilk. Lots of looking, lots of investigation, and no evidence of wrongdoing.
The " "Senate" " (really? that needs ironic quotes? we're talking about the same Senate, right?) report on torture reveals new information, in stark contrast to the expected standard of behavior by the CIA. I don't see the double standard you're talking about. Political opportunists on both sides? all sides. Hell yeah. But that should still not make a non-event worth worrying about (Benghazi) or excuse torture (CIA), regardless of the political motivations of the messenger.

How can anyone play the equivalency game with these two events? Oh yeah, Fox News. Nothing happened in Benghazi beyond a fuck up. American lowering its ethical standards to the level of say ISIS or North Vietnam, that is a goddamn news story.

I guess the families' of the 4 USxKIA take comfort in knowing it was only a "fuck up".
