There's a strange misconception about our embassies overseas and how they're "sovereign US soil". Having worked in Baghdad doing security for 4 years, that isn't the case. The Iraqi's can show up tomorrow and tell the US Ambassador and everyone else to leave. They don't out of diplomacy and knowing that all of their folks will be asked to leave the US, thus shutting them out from all their Muslim Sympathizer friends on the Left.

Its no different for anyone else: The Marines, Private Security Contractors, etc etc. The host country allows them to enter and do their jobs. Anything else and you're risking war.

So the FBI, not being in Benghazi is a big deal, but if the Libyans aren't letting them in, the tuff sh*t on them. If that's the case, its obvious that they have absolutely no respect for the current occupant of the White House.

Simple explanation.

The muzzie in cheif is too pussified by the Muslim Brotherhood to take any action.

I was reading yesterday where the MB has given the King of Jordan a deadline to surrender and leave. Otherwise the Arab Spring will bust his chops as well. One by one, the dominoes are falling and the terrorists are taking control. And the White Hut is too chicken (bleep) to stand up to them.

But CNN was already there and they got Steven’s diary which proves Obama was LYING about the situation in Libya.

As long as there is an embassy, it is indeed sovereign territory. Countries may choose to break diplomatic relations, but in that case they are obliged to let the Diplomats and staffers depart the country peacefully.

Anything else, such as the Iranian takeover of our embassy under Carter, is an act of war, and recognized as such by international law and custom for more than a thousand years.

What happened in Egypt and Libya was a severe breach of our soverereignty, and in both cases the governments (installed by Obama and Hillary) were complicit, and should have been held accountable.

Instead, Obama simply ignored the whole thing. The U.S. has sovereign rights? Of course not. Only other nations have sovereign rights—as long as they are politically correct sorts of nations. Israel doesn’t count, and neither did Libya under its former ruler.

I really don't understand why they even need to go there. Everything they need is most likely in cables, emails and other correspondence in an office or two in the State Department and the White House. Plus there is the journal. They DON'T WANT AN INVESTIGATION.
