We hired the what? Huh?

EDITORS' NOTE: According to a source close to Breitbart News and high up in the intelligence community, the Obama administration's policy following Muammar Gaddafi's death has been to keep a "low profile" during a chaotic time.
For this reason, according to the source, American Marines were not stationed at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli or the American mission in Benghazi, as would typically have been the case. In the spirit of a "low profile," the administration didn't even want an American company in charge of private security. Blue Mountain, the British firm the State Department hired, was willing to abide by the "no bullets" Rules of Engagement (ROE), so were a logical fit for the contract. These sub-standard protections for American diplomats were signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the ROE.
In essence, the Obama Administration tasked an unarmed British firm with security responsibilities that should have been handled by armed American servicemen, and it was all approved by the Secretary of State. Needless to say, the plan failed and an Ambassador was murdered, along with several others.
As of now, the State Department has not disclosed the full State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya.
Here is the full story.

answers the question I had.
Marines are usually embassy guards.
No Marine would have let the place be over run by a bunch of 15th century infidels.
Brownies with cookies as guards.
Murderers who will never be tried. Hillary and dumbo. Un-indicted coconspirators in murder.
Seems Glenn Beck was right. The two former SEALs who were there were there working for the CIA, looking to purchase or buy back some of the rebels heavy weapons. Seems some of those weapons ended up getting used on them.
Unless thy were never issued ammo. This seems to be the ROE of the Obama administration. Threaten them with the possibility of being shoot. BS
Of course this is not going to happen since their bos works for obastards boss. No FBI investigation is going to find a thing.
We are living in Russia or Venezuela or Cuba but this sure ain’t the USA anymore.
State has four brands of security guards. Those hired from local sources by contractors. US Top Secret cleared agents provided by US contractors. US TS agents hired under direct employment contracts by State and US DS agents, career employees of State. The administration is just refusing to say exactly what their situation was in Libya.
>> “No Bullets” ROE
The cynical, prevailing opinion established in advance of the facts.
Do we not know theses fools?
community organizer drive by combat style, Like how they rat a tatted Ghaddafi and looted his Euros
yep, Yep !
YEP, NO heros coming out of D.C. area.
7th century.
Just like the good ole Bill Clinton years, where Louie Freeh (FBI director) and his boys would always show up to ‘investigate’....
Everybody in the security community..Dyncorp, Triple Canopy etc knows who was guarding the Embassy..press..go ask them.
My guess is that is was State DS contract people. Probably one or two DS career employees and six contract people. The former Seals may have been contract people...or CIA contract people. All the US people were no doubt armed and loaded, but what the ROE was is in question.
Thanks Jet Jaguar!
The list, Ping

makes me wonder if it was a hit because they knew AMB Chris Stevens was about to blow the lid off of the reason why they did a drive by on Ghaddafi , ( to loot the trillions they owed him and held )

They’re lying. You know how to tell?
Their lips are moving.
We hired the what? Huh?
Could be. Prolly never find out HILLARY will never spill the beans.
So they Ron Brown him a la Bill Clinton style???
Remembering Ron Brown

” “no bullets” Rules of Engagement (ROE)”
This is insane. Obama is directly responsible for the death of Stevens and the others. Obama is a murderer.
Will Obama disarm our whole nation next?
My thoughts exactly, Obama always looks stoned or drunk to me...
They’ll have to gin up another Romney “controversy”... he kissed a baby and now he’ll have “secret pedo tendencies” or something.
There is no way the MSM is going to report this
Maybe susan rice and hillary should be guarded by libyan guards.
This should be a cause for impeachment, trial, and hanging of Buckwheat. But it will be ignored.
TWO security????? TWO??? 2???, wow, like that was enough. She re-stated that stupid remark several times, when the host would let up. I don't think the host could believe his ears either. TWO, she said.
What will tomorrows SAGA from the WH tell us?
Here they are (and screw the charges of "politicizing" which the Lame Stream Media and fellow-traveling RATS will level) presented with a golden opty to sink (or at least damage) Dear Reader and the RepubliTards are sitting on their hands???

The “October Surprise” will probably be another “Anita Hill” type high-tech lynching of either Mitt or Paul. - It’s all Democrats know how to do; but they’ll need the media to hang with them. (Crossing their fingers the public remains gullible just a little bit longer.)

Did I miss the day that J. Edgar Hoover came back to life?
Yep, shall we ask again; “Where the hell is Boehnor?”
If Hillary were *really* as good as Slick Willie, she'd have fraudulently attacked the Brits for not providing proper security ("I am OUTRAGED! They weren't even ARMED!") to satisfy Obamugabe's hatred for the Brits -- seeing as how he returned the bust of Winston...
Cheers!
But, but, according to that great TV trickle down the leg Matthews, they had a history making ceremony at Andrews AFB to welcome back the bodies of those killed.
Now, I know that makes everything okay, right?
Oh, he went out for a smoke....I am sure he will schedule a press conference soon to give the staunch Republican stand on this issue....uuuuhhh, he won’t? Who knew?
But Romney’s wife has horses! So care about the ME?
It is all they have, but the MSM will always be with them, like “the force” for a Jedi
Thanks, you reminded me to look Susan Rice up on Wiki, and YIKES! The broad is dangerous and so 'smart' maybe bordering on mentally ill.
Under Obama our enemies are provided with guns, ammo & training. But our soldiers & guards get no ammo.
Whisky Tango Foxtrot!
They’d rather have to deal with dead Ambassador and embassay workers than the fallout from having to explain why one of ours fired on the crazies. Insanity.
Well fry my hide...in a world wide fight for our lives as freedom loving Americans that’s just totally plain stupid.
“The administration is just refusing to say exactly what their situation was in Libya.”
None of this makes sense and odumbo admin has done virtually nothing to clear up the confusion.
I have been wondering if the two ex-SEAL guys killed were Tripoli based? Were they even security or CIA doing something else? Was there a “rescue mission” with U.S. personnel?
What happened to the Benghazi security detail? Etc., Etc.
