Description
In the Senate Select Committee report on the Benghazi attack, Democratic Senator and Chairman Dianne Feinstein concluded: “The committee worked, on a bipartisan basis, to investigate the various allegations that have come out since the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in September 2012 and to get to the truth about what happened leading up to, during and after the attacks. I hope this report will put to rest many of the conspiracy theories and political accusations about what happened in Benghazi.
Republicans on the Committee were not completely happy with the report and submitted an addition to it with their comments which are summarized as follows:
•Refusal of the State Department to attain accountability for mistakes made concerning the security of the Benghazi mission
•Inability of the administration to bring the terrorists to justice
•Misleading of American people through the talking points presented initially by U N Ambassador Rice on talk shows the morning after the attack
My conclusion is that the Mission was not completely secure. There was no specific preparation for an attack on the night of September 11, 2012 although there was an understanding by Ambassador Stevens and other staff members that an attack was possible if not probable because of the anniversary of the U.S. 9/11 attack anniversary.
Some of the Republican additions to the Senate Report are justified but there is no doubt in my mind that the overall attitude of the Republican members is politically motivated.
The House Select Committee has been investigating the Benghazi attack for almost four years now (May 2016).
