Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) and his House Intelligence Committee just wrapped up two years of Benghazi!!!. What they found: no red meat for the base. No ground beef. No flavored broth. Not even a bouillon cube.
Among the Intelligence Committees findings, according to Thompson:
Intelligence agencies were warned about an increased threat environment, but did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it happened.
A mixed group of individuals, including those associated with al Qaeda, (Moammar) Khadafy loyalists and other Libyan militias, participated in the attack.
There was no stand-down order given to American personnel attempting to offer assistance that evening, no illegal activity or illegal arms transfers occurring by U.S. personnel in Benghazi, and no American was left behind.
The administrations process for developing talking points was flawed, but the talking points reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis.

(3,335 posts)lacking the courage to confront the flamethrowers in their party for some time now. So kudos to Rep. Mike Rogers from me.
We might be on the verge of a real life experience here, what with Glen Beck announcing that he may have had something to do with the breakdown of civility and the discourse related to this President. I'm about to get a bit weapy at the thought of it.
