"So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account."
Then the coup de grace is pointing out that a Marine guard and a special Green Beret security force for embassies is always available and funded by the DoD.
Well, mostly agreed, but the simple question “Was there any budget consideration in the decision to not increase the security force” and the 2 word answer “no, sir” defeats any argument that maybe funds could not be easily diverted, a request to DOD might get tied up in red tape, etc. (I know those are bogus arguments, but Ms. Lamb’s simple “no sir” keeps them from even being brought up as a distraction.)
Any way you go about it, though, one comes back to the stated reason for not increasing security, ‘we must look “normal”’, which merely proves that these people are clueless fools, with strong evidence that they have not changed / learned at all: “Hey, let’s import thousands of people from the ME that we can’t vet!”
