A State Department review board investigating the Sept. 11 attacks on American facilities in Benghazi found leadership and management failures in the department for not providing adequate security prior to the attack.
“Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department … resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place,” an unclassified version of the report made public Tuesday night stated.
The report produced by a State Department Accountability Review Board also said, contrary to initial claims by President Barack Obama and his top advisers, that there was never a protest at the diplomatic compound where Amb. Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. The others were Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty.
Two other United States personnel were seriously wounded, the compound was destroyed, and it and a nearby CIA annex were abandoned.
The board was headed by former State Department official Thomas Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

So they gave us this info??? WOOPEE DOO. Nothing will be done but talk, because nothing can be done! This unqualified, illegal, phony, lying, racist, bigot, half breed, foreign national, Muslim POTUS has the money and power backing him to supress or make snything he does go away or ignored. Can’t you see that by now?
We should take the word of the liers, who lied about the incident for weeks so a traitor could be reelected? Hillary has pulled off another deception in the concussion episode. These crimes will never go away and like the Mexican gun running, it will one day be a weight around the neck of some malfactor, who will confess for relief. Hillary’s failure to clear herself in this wanton neglect of duty will reduce her chances of a presidential run in 2016. This old “self-inspection” technique will not work; evidence is too strong for high crimes.
I do not care about the security failures, I want to know who knew what when, and who did nothing when they knew exactly what was going on to try and save those four American’s. The report does not mention the video, nor does it mention what Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton and Obama said about the cause of the attack which they all blamed onto the video.
The report that took almost four months to produce is worthless and is nothing more than a total waste of time and money.
Shall we have access to the other survivors? They’re pretty good sources I would image. And maybe someone could keep track of the people who resigned yesterday to see if they’ve all of a sudden fallen into a bucket of money.
Lastly, after what happened in 2008 and in November, this nation just may deserve a president hillary clinton.
If after treason, murder, lying to the American people, weapons trading to the enemy, funding the middle-ease while medicare/social security goes bankrupt, and a Muslim for President, anyone still thinks the election wasn’t rigged, I got a bridge I’ll sell ya-
