Something smells...
Homosexual diplomat, no Marines.
Boys? Drugs? What?

“So was Hillary responsible for there not being Marines/protection at the Benghazi Embassy?”

Your answer is right in the article: “The State Department has the lead for embassy security around the world.”
Until the Marine FAST arrived after the the assassination of Ambassador Stevens, there were no Marines assigned to embassy duty anywhere in Libya; including the embassy in Tripoli.
The responsibility for the decision and policy to use only contract personnel and local security to guard the embassy/consulate in Libya, despite all the diplo-speak double talk in the article, falls directly upon DoS ...and Secretary Clinton is at the top of that “food chain.”
To: Parley Baer
She is the current Secretary of State, who else would be responsible? The US Marines don’t go where they feel like, they go where they are assigned, and it seems that the State Department didn’t ask for Marines in Libya.

Who in the world assigns a homosexual or female ambassador to a Mohammedan country?

It turns out that those were probably civilian security guards.

This is somehow better than having them there but refusing to arm them?

Has anyone else noticed the similarities of Moammar Gadhafi and Ambassador Stevens?
They both thought they were friends of Obama.

Hillary should have been fired by now. She is too incompetent to be in charge of anything.

Who in the world assigns a homosexual or female ambassador to a Mohammedan country? Somebody intentionally trying to stir shiite? Isn't that what community 'organizers' do?

"Who in the world assigns a homosexual or female ambassador to a Mohammedan country?"Someone with the same mindset as the person who sent a pretty blonde Western reporter (Lara Logan) to cover the riots at Tarir Square.

Whose decision was it not to protect the U.S. Ambassador?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Yet Valerie Jarrett on vacay in Martha’s Vineyard has a full complement of Secret Service officers.
