No Marines on site:

One witness to the consulate attack Tuesday night said that a handful of Libyan soldiers dressed in the uniform of the new national army were on patrol outside the U.S. diplomatic structure when the mob arrived, but that they were almost immediately overwhelmed. The witness said the Libyan forces concentrated on evacuating Libyan civilians attending a private wedding on the same street as the consulate when the armed militants started opening fire. "There were many people there who were trying to get to safety," said the man, a Benghazi resident who declined to be named because he feared retaliation from the militants. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444426404577647060576633348.html
