No One Named! Is it a Whitewash?

Where was the "dear leader" while the four Americans were being murdered by Muslims? Watching on live video?

A State Department-ordered investigation into September's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, concluded that "systemic failures" left the facility inadequately protected, according to the independent review board's report, which confirmed that no protest preceded the deadly attack.

The report, posted Tuesday night on the State Department's website, also identified "leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus." It suggested 29 ways the department can improve its operations, but recommended no disciplinary action.

The Accountability Review Board's report comes after more than three months of intense debate in Washington over who was behind the attack, what motivated the attackers and why U.S. authorities weren't able to stop the violence, which took the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Republicans have accused Obama administration officials of giving the American people a series of misleading explanations for the attack from the start. Much of the criticism focused on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's comments five days after the Sept. 11 attack that the violence was a "spontaneous" result of protests against an anti-Islam film. She later backtracked, saying her comments were based on the most current information provided by the intelligence community.

Although the motive for the attack remains unclear, the report released Tuesday confirms what quickly became evident -- that the attack was the coordinated work of heavily armed terrorists.

The report confirmed that the attack involved "arson, small arms and machine gun fire, and the use of RPGs, grenades, and mortars."

The security failures, though, were singled out repeatedly in the report.
Despite clear and present threats, the review board found the security staffing at the Benghazi consulate was "short-term, transitory" and "relatively inexperienced" -- and ultimately "inadequate."

It also found "a pervasive realization among personnel who served in Benghazi that the Special Mission was not a high priority for Washington when it came to security-related requests, especially those relating to staffing."

That current tenant in the White House, an unknown before 2008, has evolved into an untouchable persona so much so that Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Joe Biden and the lesser gods of his administration are willing to throw themselves under any bus.
Any suggestions from anyone why ?

Probably because with the Democrats, if you're a good team player, it curries you favor later on. They don't eat their own under any circumstance it seems, especially if their own is higher up the totem pole.

Three State Department officials have resigned though.

I am not sure Hillary is willing to throw herself under the bus. She has a convenient concussion, I assume it was accidental and not Obama induced, and will likely only testify before Congress if they have the guts to subpoena her. Also keep in mind that Hillary may have ambitions to be the next Pharaoh [living god] of the democrat party. Under the bus may not be a good place to start. She had sense enough to avoid the talk shows.
