A team of about 50 Marines has been dispatched to the Libyan city of Benghazi to secure the U.S. Consulate after attacks Tuesday left four Americans dead including the U.S. ambassador, a senior U.S. military official told Fox News.
The official said a Marine "fast team" is being sent from the U.S. Naval base in Rota, Spain. They are not yet on the ground.
The move comes after President Obama ordered "all necessary resources" provided to Libya to support the security of U.S. personnel in the country.

That would require that they be intelligent enough to feel foolish and stupid.
Wonder if the Social Security dept unlocked their ammo storage and gave them some bullets or if they are just going to be dropped of with beanbags.
I know this was a consulate, not an embassy, but do we not station Marines at diplomatic posts as a matter of course?
50 Marines?! Aren’t there thousands of pissed off muzzies? Wouldn’t an aircraft carrier and some missiles be more appropriate?
That was my first question.
Dear Both,
Quite right you are!
Romney sounding better...he’s saying the things that Mr. Obama refuses to say. Mr. O never says anything straight out...unless it’s about spending our hard earned funds on rotten govie programs.
If you want to be respected in this world as a nation state, you’d better be ready to shoot people and break things.
Thanks for your posts.
Our government regularly puts muslim agents within the walls so they can keeeel Americans. It’s called obama’s DOD war strategy.
How many soldiers have been slaughtered by Dear Reader’s political correctness? How long before Obama’s peaceful brotherhood, who have been coming over the open border and been invited here and been placed in seats of government power, start slaughtering American infidels on our streets?
Um... a bit late.
To the fake leader Mr. Obama, those 50 Marines are expendable.
Needs less Jackinthebox, and more blu-82.
THIS IS OUR 9/11 DO OVER. LETS DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME
NUKE IRAN SYRIA EGYPT PAKISTAN NOW. TELL THE REST THEY DIE TOMORROW IF THEY DON’T SURRENDER UNCONDITIONALLY. TELL THEM WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK. THEN WE TAKE THEM AND REPROGRAM THEM FROM ISLAM INTO CHRISTIANITY OR AS ANN SAID....
kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity
OR THEY CAN CHOOSE WHATS BEHIND DOOR NUMBER TWO.
This is only going to get uglier. It is clear we don’t have the real story. Those do not look like RPG wounds on the Ambassador. Others are reported killed by gunfire. What a mess.
Secure what? It’s a burned out ruin. Talk about a day late and a dollar short. US intelligence was aware these attacks were going to take place and did nothing. The lame stream media will do their best, but it’s going to be a tough job putting this story on page 4 of the NT Slimes edition every day.

Islam sucks.
Mohammed was a pedophile.
Just look at the horrifying conditions in which Islam’s billions of adherents live. Your religion begets your society, and muslim societies suck everywhere, 100% of the time.
The Koran states that Mohammed married Aisha when she was 6 years old, and consummated the relationship when she was 9 YEARS OLD. That’s pedophilia in any society in any era.
Islam sucks. Mohammed was a pedophile.
In the United States, we have a perfect First Amendment right to say what we think. I don’t much care whether Muslims are offended by what I think or say.
We also have a perfect Second Amendment right to help ensure the validity of our First Amendment rights.
