BREAKING State Dept. Report On Benghazi
An independent panel charged with investigating the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans has concluded that systematic management failures at the State Department led to inadequate security that left the diplomatic mission vulnerable.
Despite those failures, the Accountability Review Board determined that no individual American officials ignored or violated their duties and found no cause for any disciplinary action. The board found that contrary to initial reports, there was no protest outside the mission and blamed the incident entirely on terrorists.
The State Department sent a classified version of the report to lawmakers Tuesday and released an unclassified version later Tuesday. The report makes 29 recommendations to improve embassy security. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she accepted all of the board’s recommendations.
“The Accountability Review Board report provides a clear-eyed look at serious, systemic challenges that we have already begun to fix. I am grateful for its recommendations for how we can reduce the chances of this kind of tragedy happening again,” Clinton said in letters to the Senate and House panels reviewing the attack.
The Report is a bit too general– blaming things on the management of the State Department without naming names.
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.
It talks about a ramp up of incidents which should have alerted the department to allocate more security, yet the State Dept. was turning over security to the Libyans.

“Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she accepted all of the board’s recommendations.”
“But only after being slammed upside the head with the full report.”
That’s the part they left out. Explains the concussion, too.

“….Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels….”, but NO individual accountability or fault.
That just about sums up the entire federal government.
