If every ambassador in the Middle East were real men, yes, they would hand in their papers. But they are not. They are all 0bama appointees. Ambassadorships are the ultimate political favor. So they aren’t going to do anything to embarrass their master, not even for their own skins.
As for this ambassador, I understand he had been 0bama’s special liason to these same scum. And he was proud of what he did to help them to power in ousting Khadafi. I am outraged at his death as an attack on the United States, and I mourn for his family. But in another sense, he helped create the monster that destroyed him.
That is probably true for posts to London, Rome, and other civilized places. Places like this crap hole get “careerists” for ambassadors. Yes they may be leftists but they may not be actually Obomination supportors.
