Independent report: “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies” at State led to Benghazi deaths

Independent report: “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies” at State led to Benghazi deaths. “Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department (the “Department”) resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place.” Mistakes were made, fingers were pointed, bucks kept riding past their stops, Barack’s still awesome, Hillary in 2016, now SHUT UP.

  • “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies”

    Doesn't that sound like an Executive failure? Therefore not Legislative or Judicial. Sounds like the finger is pointed, but nobody wants to say the name.

  • Drudge appropriately titled this report, "And the buck stops....nowhere."
    And the Commiemedia says nothing like the good little lemmings they are. However, if they could find a way, and I am surprised they haven't, to blame this on Bush, the networks would be screaming nonstop and the ass wipes would have daily extra bold headlines.

  • It sure is convenient that kid shot all those people last week isn't it? Benghazi? What's that? Chirp!

  • "Essentially, then, embassy security was on a low-level strike at the time. And this was the situation at this outpost in an area known to be teeming with Islamist terrorists, including al-Qaeda affiliates, on the anniversary of 9/11."

    Gross incompetence on the part of the State Department. The buck has to stop there.
