So, if there are U.S. marshalls just sitting around doing nothing (and if so, why didn’t we fire them), wouldn’t it be better to assign them to women who are in actual danger, rather than wasting them on abortion clinics?

Those court orders don't fall under Federal jurisdiction. Not to say that Obama may necessarily be guided by such distinctions, but the fact is there, and those within the law enforcement community are mainly guided by the law. Of course, the police saying "sorry" is emblematic of the faulty nature of law.

On the other hand, Obama has to “do something”, after all he has only been in office 5 months and he’s already had TWO terrorist attacks on U.S. Soil, one of which actually targeted our military operations.

Therein lies the irony I pointed out. This was not a terrorist attack against our military operations. The killing of a soldier at a recruitment center was. Yet is the administration taking the same precautions at those sites? And, of course, this begs the question whether the term 'terrorist attack' is appropriate in the Tiller killing.

When you save a life that would have been taken otherwise, isn’t that some kind of defense that can be used.

This is true, but neither does the local killing of a local doctor in Kansas, or the protection of locally operated, state chartered abortion clinics.
