House intel panel debunks many Benghazi theories

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

This is what I told the right wing nutters and tin foil hatters around here all along - there was no conspiracy, no misleading and no foul play by the administration.

Now even a Republican lead House panel had to admit it. Of course, they snuck it into the news on Friday night prior to Thanksgiving week hoping nobody would notice.

House intel panel debunks many Benghazi 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.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, intelligence about who carried it out and why was contradictory, the report found. That led Susan Rice, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to inaccurately assert that the attack had evolved from a protest, when in fact there had been no protest. But it was intelligence analysts, not political appointees, who made the wrong call, the committee found. The report did not conclude that Rice or any other government official acted in bad faith or intentionally misled the American people.

House panel backs CIA and military in Benghazi attack

An investigation by the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee has concluded that the CIA and U.S. military responded appropriately to the attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, dismissing allegations that the Obama administration blocked rescue attempts during the assault or sought to mislead the public afterward. After a two-year inquiry that involved the review of thousands of pages of classified documents, the panel determined that the attack could not be blamed on an intelligence failure, and that CIA security operatives "ably and bravely assisted" State Department officials who were overwhelmed at a nearby but separate diplomatic compound.

The committee also found "no evidence that there was either a stand down order or a denial of available air support," rejecting claims that have fed persistent conspiracy theories that the U.S. military was prevented from rescuing U.S. personnel from a night-time assault that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Previous investigations have reached similar conclusions, but the House committee's report may be seen as more credible by critics of the administration's handling of Benghazi because the panel is controlled by Republicans.
