I’ll bet American ambassadors around the world are literally shitting their pants. There will be no help for them. They are counting on common door locks for security, and comprimised local staff for help. I would resign my commission and tell the American staff get the heck out of Dodge.
A lot of the prime ambassadorships go to select people - FOB (Friends of Barry), high rollers who give huge bucks to the cause. I doubt a hellhole like Libya was one of these, but for the others, maybe they want to re-think their adoration of "The One".
They are living in the midst of a wolf pack but don't realize it yet.
Our US Marines are only charged with guarding the embassy and whoever/whatever is in it and are not assigned to trail the ambassador anyplace. The ambasador in Libya was out of his water wandering off to a “consulate” which only happened to be secured by contractors, two of whom got killed. The curious part of this story is that Jarret qualifies for any kind of security when she’s not with the Prezzy. As far as I can tell she’s an “advisor”, not an appointed official.
