Not that anyone who has been paying attention will be surprised by this report - but the liberal media is ignoring a report that shows this administration easd too busy with the election and golf games to protect US citizens overseas
House Republicans have concluded that the Pentagon (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/pentagon/) and U.S. intelligence (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/us-intelligence/) agencies bear no blame for failing to halt the terrorist assault on the U.S. Consulate (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/us-consulate/) in Benghazi, Libya (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/libya/), last year, releasing a report Tuesday that said President Obama and the State Department (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-state/) set up the military for failure.
The report also found that plenty of intelligence presaged the attack, but the White House (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/) and State Department (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-state/) — including the secretary at the time, Hillary Rodham Clinton (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/hillary-rodham-clinton/) — failed to heed the warnings.
In the most damning conclusion, House Republicans said Mr. Obama’s team lied about the attacks afterward, first by blaming mob violence spawned by an anti-Muslim video, and then wrongly saying it had misled the public because it was trying to protect an FBI (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/federal-bureau-of-investigation/) investigation.
“This progress report reveals a fundamental lack of understanding at the highest levels of the State Department (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-state/) as to the dangers presented in Benghazi, Libya (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/libya/), as well as a concerted attempt to insulate the Department of State (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-state/) from blame following the terrorist attacks,” the GOP (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/republican-party/) investigation concluded in its 46-page report.
The White House (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/white-house/) dismissed the report as a rehash of questions the administration has answered, and said it has provided extraordinary cooperation.
