State Dep't, GOP Spar Over Benghazi Accountability
WASHINGTON September 18, 2013 (AP)
By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press
Associated Press
The Obama administration says it held four employees responsible for mistakes in the run-up to last year's Benghazi attack even though they are still working for the State Department.
Patrick Kennedy, the department's undersecretary for management, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that relieving the four of their responsibilities and assigning them lower-profile jobs amounts to "serious accountability."
House Republicans rejected that assessment. Rep. Ed Royce, the committee chairman, said no one "missed a paycheck." Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said the department only shuffled "the deck chairs."
GOP members also raised several older complaints about the administration's handling of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack. They centered on the administration's initial explanations and why the military didn't intervene.
Several noted that a year after Benghazi, no militants have been brought to justice.

So another pointless, but cynical/well-timed probe into Benghazi by Congressional Republicans. Hard to see how it's anything other than a shot across Sec Clinton's bow, especially since it is the latest in a series of investigations. Meanwhile, idiot Democrats are probably going to boycott.

Love it, instead of being appalled it happened, like a little kid, you go and try to tattle-tale on what the older brother did before to take focus off oneself. It's still an atrocity either way, but I'd like to see an infographic of the Democratic response mirrored in that image. I'm sure the Democrats were complaining when Bush was in office, right?

Which president vacationed his way through 52 separate warnings about 9/11 (you know, the attack that happened on US soil and killed 3000 people)?
Who can ever forget the rhetoric of the right after this event: "nobody has attacked us since 9/11. Therefore Bush has kept us SAFE!"
After the barn has burned down, no further horses were killed inside the barn. This absolutely crystallizes the idiocy that is the conservative mind.
Meanwhile, the "Islamic" Obama has hunted down and killed the perpetrator of that attack. Which president has kept us "safe" now?

This is pure politics and none of the politicians investigating this incident actually gives a shit that it happened (pretty sure you don't either).

its no so much the fact that it happened, or that more occurred during the previous admin that people are pissed off about.
Its all the lying and misdirection about WHY it happened is the big deal. Not to mention WHY SF units that were on the tarmac waiting for wheels up, WERE ORDERED TO STAND DOWN when they still could have arrived in time to offer assistance when it was needed most. this is the concept that the liberal mind cant seem to get its head wrapped around, and solidifies the fantasy land you seem to live in, inside of your own wishful thinkingLast edited by mrsleeve; 05-12-2014, 09:59 AM.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) makes a startling suggestion about Hillary Clinton's role in the Benghazi tragedy.
A report by Republicans on the Armed Services Committee recently declared: “There was no ‘stand down’ order issued to U.S. military personnel in Tripoli who sought to join the fight in Benghazi.” A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report released in January said: “The Committee has reviewed the allegations that U.S. personnel, including in the IC [Intelligence Community] or DOD, prevented the mounting of any military relief effort during the attacks, but the Committee has not found any of these allegations to be substantiated.”
Although, you're not creative enough to actually come up with this stuff, so nice job being the sycophant.
Keep sucking Darrell Issa's cock, you seemed to have missed a few drops.
