I suspect something shady was going on by the Ambassador. Protocol would have required a detachment of Marines to provide security. I dunno what he was doing, I suspect he was favoring one faction over another instead of being the neutral party. A small force of marines would have prevented this. Throw in the non reporting on the number of dead Libyan security force and you have a mess of Obama proportions.
The Marines are guarding the Embassy in Tripoli, which is the capitol of Libya. Benghazi was always the ‘second’ city of Libya and thus we had no offices there until Ghaddafi was overthrown.
We rented a series of buildings for our ‘consulate’ which were neither designed nor constructed OR RETROFITTED after we moved in to be secure from attacks like this. No walls or fences to keep the bad guys out, no blast proof walls or bulletproof windows to protect our staff.
In short, Hillary and the State Dept. sent the Ambassador into Libya and Benghazi without either a secure place to house him, or the required US MILITARY forces to protect him.
The scandal here is breathtaking, and all the media, including Fox News is doing a terrible job of reporting the facts behind this heinous attack.
Agreed. What has not been twisted or botched in Libya?
It was not a problem to us before “We came, we saw, we killed him! teeheeheehee!”. What a train wreck, once again making carter look smooth.
“you have a mess of Obama proportions”
I love this line!
A rule of thumb:To overtake an enemy you need the next step up the hierarchical structure.
Example:To overtake a squad you need a company or greater.
From the photos it appears the enemy had ample manpower.
