Who was responsible for the safety of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya?
self | self

Posted on 09/13/2012 8:05:47 PM PDT by The_Media_never_lie

Who was responsible for the security of the Ambassador? What was the plan to ensure his safety and the safety of the other U.S. citizens? Were warning signs ignored? Did the marines have ammunition? What were their rules of engagement? Did they have tear gas, grenades? How many of them were there? Where were their reinforcements? Who ordered the chopper with the squad from across the desert? What was the outcome? Was the ambassador tortured before he died? Did the President attend his security briefings the week before the murders?

I do not watch MSM, but I presume these topics have not received much coverage. These questions need to be answered.

I think that the host country is responsible to protect foreign embassies.

I think that each US embassy has a contingent of Marines, don’t they?

Wonder why they didn’t fight back? Or even call in fighter jet support.

Did the Marines even have live ammo? What were their rules of engagement? If they had weapons, did they use them? Did any Americans in Benghazi survive? What really happened? Did the host government try to assist the Ambassador?

Well it looks like he wasn't actually at the embassy but at the Benghazi consulate. Consulates are branch offices of the embassy, they usually don't have anywhere near the same security as embassies. Some do, but most don't.

Why was the Ambassador at a consolate on 9/11? Especially when there were signs of unrest?

My appologies to all for raising these inciteful questions. I’m just mad as hell to here of Americans meeting such a fate and those responsible for their safety escape the blame.

“There were NO Marines guarding Stevens”
_____________________________________________

When I started living in Slovakia, there were about a
half dozen guys in casual street clothes hanging around in front of the US embassy.
I was told that they were marines, stationed there after 9/11.
A few years before I left in 2009, they disappeared.
I would have expected any US embassy in the middle east to
have a sizable contingency of marine guards, even if incognito.

When you find out who is responsible for state personnel, be sure and notify the Secretary of State, because I think that she is pretty angry at him.

That’s a good question for the media to ask Hillary?

Anybody think it will happen?

” I’m just mad as hell to hear of Americans meeting such a fate and those responsible for their safety escape the blame.”

Lets do something about. Make some phone calls, put up signs, give some money.

We HAVE to change administrations in November.

What do you think would happen if Romney brings it up?

Egypt knew and should have protected the embassy.
If we were warned, we should have protected it too.

Was it “Arkancide” or “Arknegligence”

The MSM will:

A) Ignore Romney doing this,
B) Accuse him of playing politics with a tragedy,
C) Remind him that politics end at the water’s edge (Of course except if you are a RAT !)

They will try A) then try to make B) or C) stick.

Except the embassy is in Tripoli...and the raid was on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi -- 400 miles to the east.

I don't know if there are any provisions for the embassy guard to travel with the Ambassador, but I suspect they are generally concerned with the Embassy and its grounds.

Many don't know about Operation Northwoods.

I don't believe the government was behind 9/11.

But there is a precedent .

Our government is willing to do despicable things.

They could have been behind this attack on Stevens.

It's always interested me that Lansdale, of Operation Northwoods,..part of the whole Cuban Project..just happened to be at the Kennedy Assassination.

Operation Northwoods.

Everyone should read about it.

I did a quick search and found this. It's a thread on another site. I guess I heard right about

The State Dept. refused to brief the Select Committee on Intelligence

Someone (not me) posted this comment:
"I just heard Congressman Devin Nunes say this on the radio. He said this has never happened before. And that members in both parties are outraged over this."

.. actually I thought he said that this was not uncommon.

Yes, I had forgotten that it was only a consulate, but in that area, one would think there would be marines, at least traveling with the ambassador.

Not to be a smart ass, but The PIAPS owns the Fraud. The Klinton’s have the goods on this clown - the bath house visits, the birth in Kenya, the college grants listing The Fraud as a foreigh student, the Ayers connections... The problem for The Fraud is, anyone else could give the goods to the MSM and they throw it in the garbage... When the Klintons give the MSM the information they will destroy The Fraud.

So he made her SOS, littered his admin with Klinton retreads, let’s the Rapist upstage him at the conventions.

The Fraud can’t throw her under the bus, the bitch is driving the bus.
