Declassified Transcripts Of Benghazi Briefings Released: On January 13, Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-CA) released formerly classified transcripts of committee hearings on the September 11, 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.
General Ham: "I Have Not Found The Intelligence That Would Indicate That An Attack In Benghazi Was Imminent And That Subsequent Security Should Have Been Deployed." In his June 26, 2013, testimony to the House Armed Services Committee, General Carter Ham -- commander, United States Africa Command, at the time of the attacks -- stated there was no intelligence indicating an imminent attack in Benghazi prior to the attacks:
HAM: Leading up to the events of 11 September, watching the intelligence very carefully as all of us did and post attack having the opportunity to review the intelligence, I still don't find -- I have not found the intelligence that would indicate that an attack in Benghazi was imminent and that subsequent security should have been deployed.
There is lots more of their BS untangled. Definitely worth a full read.

Why wear it out before election time?Why is nobody still talking about Bengazi....Bengazi...Bengazi?
what specifically is there to talk about?
Obamacare's failure at launch gave them something to actually talk about
Obama is a dumber on foreign policy than Bush. Plain and simple.
In what way?
Bush wanted to nation build in the Middle East. Obama doesn't know what the he wants when it comes to foreign policy. At least with dumbass Bush, you knew what you were getting. Obama tries to play it off like he is nothing like Bush but he is just bull ting everyone. It's pathetic but he is a politician and that's what they do. We shouldn't be surprised.
"Bush wanted to nation build in the Middle East."
bull ing .
the dubya/ head/necons/BigOil/PNAC wanted access to Iraqi oil, so they LIED the USA into Iraq.
As a result, Obama now has to deal with a badly broken, destablized Middle East (Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, etc) to go along with the Repugs' broken, destabilized Afghanistan.
Repug nation building? G M A F B
thinking most of America gives a about Benghazi
That doesn't really narrow anything down.
What makes you say this? What is this based on?
I am no huge fan of the current president, but statements like this tend to fall into the "hysterical" column in my mind.
Hopefully this will be the nail in the coffin of a story that should have been dead months ago.
Anybody with any sense realized it was a tragedy that we should take steps to avoid in the future, and that is about it.
It certainly wasn't the up that Republicans wanted it to be for crass political purposes. ers that jumped up and down about this were the same putrid cesspools that ignored the thousands of dead service members that resulted from one of their own party members' colossal tactical failures in Iraq from 2003-2006.
Most Americans care about what the media tells them to.
So it't not going to be an issue in the election.
Make up your mind.
LOL...
You are so correct this time. The media elects every president, since we have too many people who are led by them as to how to think.
I laugh at Obama drinkers that get so defensive when someone points out the obvious similarities between Obama and Bush on foreign policy.
You just said they were different.
Make up your mind.
Similar actions, but their reasons are different.
Obama is a warmonger just like Bush. Obama does it because he uses the humanitarian excuse. Bush used the threat on our freedom and security excuse. If you can't see how they are basically clones of each other on foreign policy then you're a in' idiot and/or a koolaid drinker.
No, he's right (and I think Barrycare is a cluster too)
Now you have millions of people getting coverage with subsidies, and it's only bound to get bigger. That's why you won't see the GOP bringing up Barrycare in negotiations (didn't happen in the budget deal, won't happen in the debt ceiling).
They will campaign on how the launch of Barrycare was an epic fail (and they'll be right), but IMO, you'll hear less and less campaigning on repeal.
UPDATED: Senate report: Benghazi attack could have been prevented

Christopher Stevens. The report says the State Department failed to increase security at the compound despite warnings, and faults intelligence agencies for not informing the U.S. military about the existence of a secret CIA outpost at the site.
Senate Report: 15 Libyan Sources For Benghazi Investigation Since Killed
CATHERINE THOMPSON – JANUARY 15, 2014, 11:24 AM EST
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir..._investigationA delayed Senate report released Wednesday on the 2012 Benghazi attacks argued an FBI investigation has been weakened by the deaths of a number of cooperating Libyan sources.
The Washington Post highlighted the report's finding that 15 individuals who were "supporting the investigation or otherwise helpful to the United States" have been killed since the attacks. It's unclear if those killings were in any way related to the U.S. investigation, according to the report.
"The FBI's investigation into the individuals responsible for the Benghazi attacks has been hampered by inadequate cooperation and a lack of capacity by foreign governments to hold these perpetrators accountable, making the pursuit of justice for the attacks slow and insufficient," the report read.
The Senate report concluded that the attacks were preventable, faulting the State Department and intelligence agencies for failing to increase security at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi and share information about a secret CIA annex that was also attacked.
Highlights of Senate’s Benghazi report
ASSOCIATED PRESS
moreSome main points of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on the terrorist assault on the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya:
— Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was among those killed that night, had twice in the weeks before the attacks declined the U.S. military’s offer of a team of special operations forces that had been available to bolster security and provide other help. The State Department had decided not to request an extension of the team’s presence, about a month before the attacks, because officials thought the job could be done by local or department security.
— The report recommends that only in rare cases should a diplomatic facility continue to operate if it falls short of the State Department’s security standards — and in such cases the facility should have the personnel, weapons and fire safety equipment needed to address the threat. The State Department should be ready to evacuate or close diplomatic missions facing the highest threat, the report says.
— The report recommends that the intelligence community expand its work to analyze social media used by extremists, noting that little of that was done before the attacks and it’s possible there were hints in web postings of trouble ahead.
— Operations in Benghazi continued with little change even though the mission crossed some “tripwires” that should have led to reduction in personnel or the suspension of operations. Some nations closed their diplomatic facilities because of worsening security conditions in the summer of 2012. But others stayed, contrary to reports the U.S. was the last country represented there.
— An unarmed U.S. military drone was not delayed when responding to the attack, and it provided important information during the attacks.
