The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to approve making the report public.
Thompson said the report "confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given."
That conflicts with accusations of administration wrongdoing voiced by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista (San Diego County), whose House Government Oversight and Reform Committee has held hearings on the Benghazi attack.
Stevens, who grew up in Piedmont, and the other Americans died when Libyans attacked the consulate on Sept. 11, 2012. Among the Intelligence Committee's 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 administration's process for developing "talking points" was "flawed, but the talking points reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis."
Those talking points included assertions that those who attacked the compound were angered by an obscure anti-Muhammad video posted to YouTube in the U.S. There is disagreement to this day about whether that was the case.
Not that this finding of fact will keep the Obama haters from foaming at the mouth. I think there is a reason that this report is coming out on the last day before the summer Congressional recess.
Darrell Isssa owes the American Taxpayer a whopping refund, and an apology.
You said:
"The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya".
As if you were quoting from the report. But that's a lie, isnt it???? The report has'nt been released so you cant possibly be quoting from it.
Who you are quoting is a DummyCrapper ""said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee."""
This small factoid of course does'nt stop O'pologist who would blame Bush if Michelle Obama woke up with a knife in her back. Media Madness has been jerking themselves off all day to this NON_NEWS event. Looks like heatpatch and BigSnitch got all lubed up too!
...at least TWO Republicans would have had to vote that there was no wrongdoing. But math isn't your strong suit and you'd never be on any committee with the word "intelligence" in it.

It is one of the defining characteristics of the Bat Shit Crazy Republicans.
..."you're" and "your." Suggestion - write "ur" so people can't tell how ignorant NeedleDick is.
Someday you'll be ready to tackle "there" "their" and "they're." There are a lot of people like NeedleDick who don't know their grammar. They're not all disease-ridden illegal aliens; some may be "real" Americans - like NeedleDick.

No real Scandal here, so NDBF please run along.
GOP Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, the Republican chair of the House Armed Services Committee, says he’s satisfied with how the US military – and ergo the Obama administration – responded to the deadly attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya.
The news also exonerates expected Democratic presidential nominee, and then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. More on that in a moment.
“I think I’ve pretty well been satisfied that given where the troops were, how quickly the thing all happened and how quickly it dissipated, we probably couldn’t have done more than we did,” McKeon said to reporters today, as quoted by AP.
McKeon then went on to plant a not-so-subtle dig at fellow Republicans who keep harping on “Benghazi” as if there were a real scandal there.
Buck McKeon in response to Obama NSA Susan Rice’s letter of July 25, 2014 encouraging repeal of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Force in Iraq wrote, “This administration is fiddling while the world burns…if the administration fought terrorists with half the tenacity they fight straw men, we wouldn’t be in this mess”.
Everyone knows by know Obama is a congenital liar so unfortunately we cant take his word for anything.
that Obummer Inc would not make available to previous investigations.
So funny how the libs only glee these days is a panel w/o all the info possibly finding no fault with Barry.
My how the bar for success these days has been lowered for their hero! roflmao
