Obama's Weakness Killed Americans In Benghazi (Image: MGN)
  • The House Committee released a report on the attacks in Benghazi, that shows that the Obama administration was at fault for the deaths in the attack.
  • A meeting was called three hours into the attacks to discuss what the proper action should be.
  • They had troops waiting for up to 18 hours for orders to deploy into Libya.
  • The State Department continued to blame an anti-Islam video for the attacks when no evidence proves the theory.

The House Committee, the committee that has been investigating the Benghazi attacks, came out with a report today that has made President Obama and Hillary Clinton start to sweat.

In their report, they faulted the Obama administration for a handful of “missteps” not only during the Benghazi attacks but before and after them as well. Their investigation discovered that while top administration officials were wasting precious hours about their diplomatic and political public responses, soldiers were sitting and waiting for the order to deploy to Libya.

The words the House Committee used in their report were a “rusty bureaucratic process,” stating that the response time the night of the attack was anything but quickly dealt with. They found in their report that although orders to deploy had been given by President Obama as well as the then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the military force did not move until 13 hours later. That raises some questions, doesn't it?

An anti-terrorism team that was on stand by the night of the attacks, known as the FAST unit, sat waiting for three hours in Rota, Spain. In their report, they said that one witness of the FAST unit said that they even changed “in and out of their uniforms four times.” Their report stated that it took nearly 18 hours for the team to move.

Apparently, a number of stops came from the State Department, which they claimed came from the necessity of Libya's approval for any deployment. However, Panetta came forward later and said that they approval from Libya was not necessary.

U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALS Ty Wood and Glen Doherty, were dying while political heads in The States were figuring out the right course of action.

Are you ready for the best part of the report?

In the end, the security team that eventually came to help evacuate U.S. personnel and potentially ended up saving a number of other American lives was a team known as the Libyan Military Intelligence.

The Libyan Military Intelligence unit is composed of military officers that were formally under the regime of Qaddafi, just in case you didn't know the United States had thought that they had gotten rid of that regime. You can imagine the surprise that officials got when that team came to the rescue.

The United States had no idea that the group even existed. The report from the House Committee described it as, “In other words, some of the very individuals the United States had helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution were the only Libyans that came to the assistance of the United States on the night of the Benghazi attacks.”

This report, of course, put the Democratic party into a frenzy. The House Committee that investigated the attacks is ruled by the Republican party, so accusations of trying to slander Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign started flowing from the Democratic party very quickly.

Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., at a press conference with other GOP lawmakers, came out and claimed that no troops were ordered to Benghazi. He said that Americans should “read this report for themselves … and reach their own conclusions.”

Apparently, there were discussions that claimed that the attack on Benghazi was triggered by an anti-Islam YouTube video. Yet, no evidence has connected the video to the attack.

The State Department officials were so focused on the video, however, that in a meeting, that was identified for the first time by the House Committee, “five of the ten action items from the rough notes of the 7:30pm meeting mentioned the video.” The report said that the meeting took place three hours into the attacks.

The report also claimed that before orders were sent to deploy troops, calls were made to remove the video.

However, the report also had eyewitness testimonies from officials that were in the embassy in Benghazi, that knew nothing about any video or protest that was going on prior to the attack.

The report said, “None of the information coming directly from the agents on the ground in Benghazi during the attacks mentioned anything about a video or a protest. The firsthand accounts made their way to the office of the Secretary through multiple channels quickly.”

Yet five days later, Susan Rice, the then-United Nations Ambassador, went on talk show after talk show, to explain what happened in Benghazi. When she went on Fox News Sunday she said, “What sparked the recent violence was the airing on the Internet of a very hateful, very offensive video that has offended many people around the world.”
