kallend 2,027 #2201 June 28, 2016 Phil1111Reports like these just make the public more skeptical of the BS in Washington and the impossibility of separating fact from political spin. Why not a report from a retired CIA director. Oh, of course, that would miss the chance for political spin on the real facts. Yes, the GOP just gives us spin on false facts....

RonD1120 62 #2206 June 29, 2016 normiss Your constant refusal of facts in evidence after years and millions wasted over "OMG! 4 people died" It's all her fault!" While entirely dismissing the Bush's watch resulting in almost 10,000 deaths between 9/11 and the resulting wars of choice is flat out disgusting. EVERY report says those 4 people could NOT have been saved. OK, there's the horse. Have fun. Whatever. The original purpose of this thread was, OMG! BHO allowed and covered up this tragedy up so that it would not adversely effect his re-election. It just morphed into get Hillary. It seems that a lot of people love high tech, powerful, criminals who are politicians. We are doomed unless we wake up.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

turtlespeed 220 #2209 June 29, 2016 rushmc***Facts and findings: Here are the key "findings" from the Republican report: The Defense Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department failed to understand the threats to U.S. personnel at the Benghazi consulate, and didn't adequately defend them. It found there was a long delay after Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered forces to be deployed in response to the attack that meant they didn't arrive until 2 p.m. the next day. Still, the report did not dispute the conclusion of prior reviews that United States military forces in Europe couldn't have reached Benghazi in time to rescue the four Americans who died. ""What was disturbing from the evidence the Committee found was that at the time of the final lethal attack at the Annex, no asset ordered deployed by the Secretary had even left the ground," the report stated. The report found that some Americans were saved not by a quasi-government militia, as previous reports had found, but rather by a group of military officers from the Khaddafy regime, which had been toppled by the U.S. and others a year earlier. "Some of the very individuals the United States helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution were the only Libyans that came to the assistance of the United States on the night of the Benghazi attacks," the report said. Hillary Clinton is referenced three times in the 187-page section on the attacks, 38 times in 177-page section on communications and then 86 times in the 135-page section on events beforehand. The 800 page report contains just seven pages on "recommendations" — even though stopping a repeat of the attacks was said to be a key goal of the investigation. By contrast, the 9/11 report, which was a little over half the length, contained 62 pages of recommendations. And who typed up these "key findings". kallend will call you dishonest for not showing us where you got this. I think this is a better source for "key findings" You can pick them out yourself minus the spin you posted. http://benghazi.house.gov/NewInfo Holy crap - look at all the plagiarism!I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowlerk 2,192 #2215 June 29, 2016 RonD1120IMHO, the data is skewed to socialist left. I don't know about that. I do know that socialism in Canada, and probably also in the US is strongly rooted in traditional Christian churches. Many strong Christians still have left leaning socialist instincts. It's pretty clear that Jesus did. It's only the tension of cultural change and the diminishing of the political influence of churches that led to today's embracing of right wing politics by some religious leaders. So you could claim the data is skewed to the Democratic left, but that has little to nothing to do with socialism, and everything to do with power politics. Which is exactly what the Benghazi report is about.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
