There have now been something like seven major investigations into BENGHAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!1!11!!!
Today the GOP-controlled House “Intelligence” Committee released the results of their two year investigation into the “Worse-than-9-11” events. They did so without fanfare on a weekend that almost assures Americans will be preoccupied with anything but the report.
Here is a recap of findings. The committee 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.
…[T]he investigation … 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.
There were a lot of crazy assholes spewing some bizarre theories about a lot of non-things.
And there was just plain lying…like the claim, easily debunked, that Obama never referred to the the incident as terrorism FOR 14 DAYS. Nope…he did the morning after in the Rose Garden and twice more in Colorado over the next two days. This line of Wingding bullshit bit them back is their own ass when presidential wannabe Mitt Romney made an ass of himself during a debate with Obama (priceless video). (Most non-crazy people wondered what difference it made whether it was called or not called “terrorism”, but I digress….)
Not one of the Benghazi theories have panned out for the Wingnuts. Yet, this should have been self-evident after the first investigation. And verified after the second, and double verified after the third….
By, say, the third report, the Republican wack-jobs still spewing BENGHAAAAZZZZZZIIIII!!!!1!1!! were just lying.
Or they are pitifully stupid and totally incapable of ordinary things like reading, evaluating evidence, and synthesis. The first few reviews were supposed to make that easy for them.
Or they’re just fucking crazy.
It’s tough to tell the difference with this bunch.

Gish Gallop
Lysenkoism.
It’s deliberate, and has a specific purpose. The Science or the issue being discussed MUST conform to acceptable standards as dictated by the dominant political agenda of the dominant political paradigm.
The “Tea Party” seems to be taking much of their political methodology from the Stalinist Soviets, for the same basic purposes. Stalin was convinced by the political rumor mill to execute most of his Army’s General Staff in the late 1930s. When it came down to fighting the Nazis, the Soviets had nobody who knew anything about fighting a war, until Nikita Khrushchev stepped in and took the whole goddamn thing over in 1939.
It was the same for their Scientists all through the 1940s and 50s. They started out arresting and imprisoning or flat out executing their artists and musicians and other artistically inclined people and then moved on to the other intellectuals and academics who might pose some risk to the established Political inclinations of Joseph Stalin and later on, Nikita Khruschev and Leonid Brezhnev. Most of the top scientists in the aerospace and missile programs they did maintain were kept as virtual prisoners, and not allowed to publish their findings and research except in the form permitted by the Soviet Central Committee, and only for the Committee.
They cost themselves plenty of time and destroyed much of their education infrastructure and most of their research institutions, entirely based on the notion that the Science must conform to the Political necessities of the PolitBureau, and if the Science didn’t fit the political narrative of the moment, that Science must be suppressed or discredited because if the perceived conflict in ideals.
This is a pretty good description of the Tea party and the Republicans. The Politics takes precedence over the actual scientific process. That’s how to create a corrupt, ignorant third world shithole out of what was once the greatest scientifically inclined nation in the entire history of the human Race. Just turn people against the Scientists and discredit their work, if that work appears to conflict with the demands of the political narrative of the moment. That shit is eerily similar to how the Khmer Rouge leaders spoke back in the late 1970s.
The Fourth Reich doesn’t even want people to know the German language exists.
And speaking of Republican Liars
They’re just a whole institution of fucking thugs for chrissake. How the hell does anyone take them seriously in anything but how to exemplify corruption and idealogical putrification?
The Republican obsession over Benghazi is particularly offensive given the crocodile tears shed over Ambassador Stevens.
In any other context, Republicans would be attacking Stevens. He was a career diplomat, spoke fluent Arabic, and loved Middle Eastern culture and people. As if that’s not enough to get the hate flowing, he also had an English degree from Berkley, joined the Peace Corps and had Native American ancestry.
@5. Don’t forget Stevens was gay.
The GOP Is Lying About Keystone XL Creating Jobs
Jeremy Grantham is a hugely successful British-born professional investor who runs a giant (over $100 billion) asset-management firm. This is what he says about the lie that Keystone XL will create jobs:
“If there were armies of unemployed welders and other construction workers sitting around, one could easily imagine that almost every job needed would draw from the unemployment pool and would be true job creation. But what if there were intense competition for every welder, every oil worker, and most heavy construction workers? Then we would not be in the job creation business but in the job competition business, deciding which potential employer will bid up wages and which will go without workers. … Considering the above, it is clear that the XL Pipeline will not ‘create’ jobs. Every one of its potential workers … could get a job several times over …. What is happening here is an allocation of limited manpower resources[.]”
https://www.gmo.com/websitecontent/GMO_QtlyLetter_2Q14.pdf
In other words, Keystone XL will create ZERO jobs. It will simply take workers away from other projects — and drive up the construction costs of all projects. I think he’s right. Makes perfect sense to me.
Liars, crooks and hypocrites. I don’t understand how they can claim they stand for freedom and honor the constitution when they can’t accept two people of the same sex being married. Just about every judge has found bans unconstitutional and it sure goes against freedom, but they don’t care about that. One small, small, small issue that undermines their whole philosophy. They have no other thing to bring to the table, just a bunch of sideways talking assholes that really want to exemplify ISIS, but know that is even too far to the right, but they ride the edge.
While Da Perfessa is dancing all over the AP Benghazi report… somehow the anthropology perfessa missed these contradictions (on purpose maybe?) in two paragraphs next to each other since Da Perfessa offered them in the thread heading…
If you “made the wrong call” that’s not an intelligence failure? If there was an intelligence failure, does that clear James Clapper? From the nets…
Reports to Obummer! Hmmm…? Sound like – Let’s flip a coin and heads we’ll say this or tails we’ll say that! The stupid American public and congress won’t know the difference.
So now all we are left with standard government incompetence? Four people died and Puddy reads all the miasma swill above from the mouthy DUMMOCRETINS and y’all still celebrate their deaths! Their parents are still looking for real answers. That doesn’t matter to HA DUMMOCRETINS!
This report contradicts sworn government testimony by five or six people who in front of congressional committees told their story AND some were threatened and demoted for telling their story! Why were they threatened and demoted then? Hmmm…? If everything was up and up why did Obummer’s gang do that? Seems politics are at play here and the CIA intelligentsia are the blame again. Can you say bus time?
So which is it HA DUMMOCRETINS?
Since there was no protest, Susan Rice was wrong or Susan Rice lied? Which is it?
And what about the CIA operatives who said they would take lie detector tests on national TV about the stand down order… They are lying too?
Golly you HA DUMMOCRETINS peeps are a creepy bunch!
@9 Yep, the report of a GOP-run House committee is rigged in favor of the Democrats. At least, that’s your stupid theory.
Wow IDIOT Wabbit, that’s your answer? One can see IDIOT Wabbit didn’t find answers to Puddy’s questions on any left wrong e-rag site.
Thanks for playing IDIOT Wabbit!
More babbling from a braindead fool @ 9
So does this accurately describe the conclusions of a REPUBLICAN LED committee of the freaking bagger-addled House of Representatives?
Yes that appears to be true.. Babbling idiot @ 9 loses..
@9: Right. Sworn testimony by people who later admitted they weren’t even present at the events they were testifying about and who had already given sworn statements in direct contradiction to their House testimony.
@11 A better assumption would be that I was on my way out the door to run my Saturday morning errands and didn’t have either the time or inclination to wade through, or respond to, your horseshit.
Well there goes their only campaign issue against Hillary. Guess that means she’s gonna be preznit huh.
All that babbling and no direct answers.
Thanks for playing HA DUMMOCRETINS!
BTW @ 13, evidence of that contradictory testimony? From credible sources not DUMMOCRETIN e-rags!
Spin all you want puddles, a report from a committee dominated by Republicans found nothing to pin on the President or others in his administration, same as the previous five reports. Sure there was the “fog of war” but if there was something there, they wouldn’t have quietly dumped the report on a weekend.
Of course they can investigate it a few more times.
The AP is a source you’ve used many times troll..
You lose again.
Here’s the actual source, the House Intelligence Committee, who released the report on November 21, 2014.
http://intelligence.house.gov/.....11-12-2012
No contradictory testimony yet… @ 13 claimed contradictory testimony. So put forth the links with the transcripts.
Show be so easy with the number of HA DUMMOCRETINS here!
[Deleted –take that shit to an Open Thread]
[Deleted]
So this moron is saying that a committee led by Republicans in the bagger house is in on the “conspiracy”..
Aaaaa.. Yeah.. OK….
The link is at 19 putridbutt.. Find where it contradicts the putrid ANALysis of Hot Air, WND, Daily Caller, American Stinker, Human Events and other moronic sources of right wing garbage you bring here daily.
Was one of the “5 or 6” people Gregory Hicks???
Yes his testimony was contradicted by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
http://tucson.com/news/nationa.....cc9c4.html
The “stand down” bullshit promulgated by our village idiot troll here among other places was yet another always wrong wing lie.
FEST was needed to protect the embassy at Tripoli. The State Department called on the CIA instead to aid the Benghazi consulate and according to the Republican report, the actions of the CIA “saved lives”.
As usual our village idiot troll is an idiot.
Earlier Puddy wrote
This was whacked by Da Perfessa. So why did Puddy write that? Notice the creep post @ 24. This is why Puddy makes that claim every day. All the absolutely low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbattic creepy cretin had to do was search for the three CIA operatives. http://www.foxnews.com/politic.....latestnews Puddy already put forth multiple links weeks ago. All the absolutely low IQ monomaniacal moronic moonbattic creepy cretin had to do was search the crazed databaze!
And…
Butt where is this in the “official report”?
Sorry about the three paragraphs. The third one was necessary to make the point. Watch this post get whacked.
So when you read the report from page 15-22 the strange comment that gets close to the third paragraph supplied by Puddy is the last paragraph on page 20 and the next paragraph on page 21. These are the three who would take lie detector tests…
Puddy guesses letting “stand down” stand would end the careers of big time military peeps. Puddy read much of the first report so far.
Translation: pulled shit from his ass..
A Republican report from the bagger house found no wrongdoing by the Obama administration:
Sorry krackpots. No liberal plot for you!
Nope. Nothing there but..
hate…
What a joke post #26 is. Where does #26 even make reference to what Puddy wrote in #25? Absolutely No where!
Syria- Not found
Polygraph – Not found
Non Disclosure – Not Found
IC – Not found
Arms – Not found
Translation: pulled more shit from it’s ASS. All arschloch!
Puddy gave their own words and it offers something totally from left field in #26. When you have to distort, it proves your response is worthless. 208 references to the crazed databaze and 207 EPIC FAYLES.
1/208 = 0.00480769230769230769230769230769
207/208 = 0.99519230769230769230769230769231
The more it posts, the better the PuddyPercentages!
If you’re doing calculations, how about looking at your word to content ratio, puddles. You spew so much foolishness, most posts aren’t worth wading through.
And doesn’t this punch a few holes in the narrative that the media are dominated by “Obama apologists”? A favorable story to the administration seems to have vanished from media discussion.
Ahhh circular logic from k2. Well then k2 keep reading left wrong e-rags!
What’s new?
@27 The operative word in your bullshit @25 is “guesses”..
What happened to “facts”???
Again, shit pulled from your ass. You have no credibility on this issue or any other issue for that matter..
Nice try at finding a liberal plot in a Republican report..
Another EPIC FAYLE @31. More BULLSHITTIUM from the crazed database BS artist. Your offering of #26 doesn’t work like the other 207 EPIC FAYLES offered from your sick mind!
Guesses? – There is no mention of those three security contractors moron! Hence you have no argument that fits!
Still waiting for refutation of #25! “The security contractors — Kris (“Tanto”) Paronto, Mark (“Oz”) Geist, and John (“Tig”) Tiegen are on record. You on the other hand are a broken record. Keep searching your favorite left wrong sites. Your credibility in #26 was as worthless as ever!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Now we know more from the report.
CNN reported the polygraph tests HA DUMMOCRETINS not Fox NEWS… http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2.....zi-attack/
Daily Beast reported CIA calling it a terrorist attack not Fox News… http://www.thedailybeast.com/a.....iates.html
NY Slimes claimed no Al Qaeda involment – wrong not Fox News… https://hotair.com/archives/2014/11/21/nyt-despite-our-assurances-it-turns-out-benghazi-was-an-al-qaeda-linked-attack/
Since Puddy can’t place more than three links per post…
ABC News reported Chris Stevens asked for more protection not Fox News… http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/po.....-benghazi/
And ABC News reported Hillary’s State Department failed Chris Stevens not Fox News… http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/po.....-in-libya/
Truth makes HA DUMMOCRETIN cockroaches scurry!
Four Americans die and HA DUMMOCRETINS continue to cheer!
You “waited” over 4 threads a while back only to admit you pulled shit from your ass..
Why should your shit in this thread be any different?
So crap like this is how it’s going to be the next two years from klownservatives? Wow!!!
Good luck with that!
Damn! Fool you just condemned Republicans who put their signature on that report..
Shame on you!
@ 36, Nope you dope… It’s your kind.
Keep trying… Game time!
Yes indeed you are!!! You obviously can’t accept the conclusions of a report from the bagger House of Representatives Intelligence committee.. All you offer up is this !!!!BENGHAAAAZI!! troofer bullshit.
Republicans CONTROL the committee you stupid idiot..
If Republicans didn’t support the conclusions of the report, it wouldn’t have been published..
YOU SAY REPUBLICANS CHEER FOR THE DEATH OF AMERICANS!
Thank you once again for your service to the progressive cause.
Where? Puddy said this you cretin…
Sxu to be the cretin@38
If you disagree with the Republican report, (I don’t find anything wrong with it yet), that doesn’t follow the brandead klownservative !!!!!BENGHAAAAAZZZZIIIII!!! troofer line then according to your fucked up mentality that means:
REPUBLICANS CHEER FOR THE DEATH OF AMERICANS..
Clear inference.. You believe anyone who doesn’t swallow your miserable bullshit about the Libyan tragedy “cheers” for the death of Americans..
Asshole is as asshole does.. And you are an asshole.
Go Seahawks!
Keep screaming monomaniacally of course!
Loser!
Republicans are having a conniption because the GOP-chaired House report doesn’t say what they want it to. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called it “crap.”
Wow our village idiot troll has a troofer buddy in the U.S. Senate who believes Republicans in the bagger House of Reps CHEER for the death of Americans.
Give your warmonger buddy a high five village idiot troll!
Seahawks win!
No screaming. This is over. A Republican committee could not find a thing. Puddles reaches for irrelevant foolishness, without any substance.
Puddy noticed no one has an answer to #25…
Just a bunch of vacuous insipid hot air!
Good night morons!
