Official: Libyan Security Handed Ambassador Stevens to Attackers

President Obama claims Libyan security forces fought beside Americans against attackers on Tuesday, but a Libyan official says they gave up consulate personnel to the Islamists who murdered them. Libya's Deputy Interior Minister Wanis al-Sharif says the consulate's security forces moved Ambassador Christopher Stevens and other personnel to a second, safer building once the attacks began. But, he continues, the security forces told the attackers which building Stevens was hiding in, effectively handing him over.

You are correct. Blackwater or similar? Not play out like this.

Neither. Certainly not Obozo. But even my eyes are suspect on this type of incident.

This calls for good judgement, very lacking commodity in DC. Even rarer in the Dem Party.

The photos that are going around make it pretty clear he was dead while still surrounded on the streets. I’m not saying this is wrong, I’m just curious if he did actually make it to a hospital.

Yeh, I guess Barry never put two and two together when Afghan security forces shoot one of our US military officers every other day.

"What I can tell you is that security in Benghazi included a local guard force outside of the compound on which we rely, which is similar to the way we are postured all over the world. We had a physical perimeter barrier, obviously. And then we had a robust American security presence inside the compound, including a strong component of regional security officers.

The Marines have already posted they had no presence in Benghazi. The American consulate was dependent on local "police" and security forces. Whatever "robust American security presence" means is a big question based on the Marine statement. I suspect this is a CYA moment.

“Or to GITMO. Isn’t that where we send Enemy Combatants?”

Ah, but the consequences in Libya are much more harsh...and permanent.

Romney is even worse than 0bama! We can easily handle four more years of 0bama, but if we had eight years of Romney, we really would be screwed. The chances of contesting the next Republican primary will be too remote.

People, the real problem is ROMNEY! Please, either don't vote for Romney, vote third-party, or vote for 0bama, because we sure don't want Romney!!!

Please change your homepage to eliminate the words "Christian" and "conservative" because you are neither if you advocate voting for Obama.Shame on you.

We spent $100 million a week bombing Libya to give these pukes "freedom". Thanks, Obama.

This is what happens when we have a president who leads from his behind.
