The Senate Intelligence Committee has released a comprehensive report on the Benghazi attack finding the tragedy was “preventable” and the administration failed to respond to “ample” warnings that security was deteriorating before Sept. 11, 2012.
The report faulted the State and Defense departments. It also cited the failure of the Obama administration to "bring the attackers to justice."
Specifically, the report said the intelligence community provided “ample strategic warning” that security in eastern Libya was deteriorating and U.S. personnel “were at risk.” The report said multiple “tripwires” were crossed signaling security problems, and the State
Department should have increased its security posture in response.
The report also detailed a possible failed ambush, where attackers tried to lure the CIA into the hospital where Ambassador Chris Stevens' body was being held.
The CIA did not take the bait.
"The committee worked on a bipartisan basis to investigate the various allegations that have come out since the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in September 2012 and to get to the truth about what happened leading up to, during and after the attacks,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in a statement, adding she hopes the report puts “conspiracy theories” to rest.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., top Republican on the panel, also said the report provides “needed and deserved answers.”
“In spite of the deteriorating security situation in Benghazi and ample strategic warnings, the United States Government simply did not do enough to prevent these attacks and ensure the safety of those serving in Benghazi,” he said.

Why do you make these headlines and then the story doesnt even say that.
The story says the state department and the defense dept had warnings. The only thing it mentions is obama didnt bring the people to justice....which is hardly impeachable. And why are these warnings proof of incompetence but the warning of "bin laden determined to strike in us using planes" not a warning. You cannot claim outrage in one instance and not the other. be consistent.
Why are some of you trying so hard to make this an actual story?

It is an actual story, I know that kills you.
How'd you like the narrative that this was all about some video on youtube, that Obama and his minions tried to push for weeks? When they knew all along it was a lie.
Why can't you libtards just admit that it was a total clusterfuck, and a coverup of the clusterfuck, with lies riddled all throughout?
When will you learn that each incident stands on it's own merits. This is an actual story, in fact it is a never ending story as it stands, one that this administration spins as it goes along. There is a distinction between generalized threats on non-specific targets and dealing with American citizens who are in harm's way at a designated location at a specific time.
There is a deadline involved in saving people who are in danger. It depends on people who can make decisions and react swiftly. Benghazi was preventable and those in charge lied about it from the start. No one person can be blamed for 9/11 but one person gave the stand down order at Benghazi. Your comparing the two is absurd. Outrage, why is it out outrage to be concerned about Americans dying needlessly. That was an attack on the U.S. and Americans died. The fact that it was not on our native soil is of no consequence. As far as incompetence goes, that is old hat with this administration. It is now to be expected but that does not mean we have to accept that. What happened at Benghazi was unacceptable on every level.
caught blatantly , undeniably, admittedly lying twice in the last month as his house of cards begins to crumble. There will be many more lies exposed as time does it's thing
we were right about both lies, libtards still swallow whole without reflex
it's who they are

It just shows your selective outrage and your hypocrisy. Why no outrage over the americans killed at embassies under bush? Why didnt fox cover it? Why is obama to blame for things that dont reach his desk but chris christie is excused for it? You guys are so inconsistent in your outrage it is disgusting
Vtard, fratfraud, Guesser...you're dealing with the far left wing fringe...the fringe of the fringe.
Bipartisan Senate report blames Obama administration for not preventing Benghazi attack
http://hotair.com/archives/2014/01/...istration-for-not-preventing-benghazi-attack/
See that "bipartisan" word, tards?
Know what that means?
Funny, I didn't read about all those Americans killed at the embassies under the previous administration in this BIPARTISAN Senate report which faults Obama for not preventing the Benghazi attack.
Must have slipped their minds, or something.
Or, maybe...
You, fratfraud and Guesser are the only fringe of the fringe who care, while the rest of the country DON'T GIVE A SHIT!
Probably because there were no reports.....at those times the repubs controlled such things and just shut their eyes to it while fox news refused to feed their sheep the info. It is why you have no answers for it now....you didnt even know it happened because your head was so far buried in the sand.
The State Department released their own report months after the attack highlighting their mistake in the level of security in Benghazi. That's hardly the conspiratorial case of what happened after the attack. They do root cause analysis for all military/overseas personnel to find what went wrong and why it occurred.
Since the State Dept falls under the executive branch and the executive branch has been caught lying endlessly to cover its incompetent ass, nothing they tell us should be taken seriously.
"I trust the Government regardless of what party is in place because they typically are controlled by intelligent individuals who make educated decisions" - fratfraud
"intelligent individuals who make educated decisions": it was a reaction to a video, not terrorism!
"intelligent individuals who make educated decisions": "What difference does it make?"
Oh you're just a fucking boy genius, aren't ya fratfraud? Daddy must be so proud.
