U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.
Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition, according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.
If true, the reports indicate that Patterson shirked her obligation to protect U.S. interests, Nightwatch states.

Not a strong enough word. Try Repulsive. Add your favorite profanity in front of it for added punch.

If I were the Ambassador in some 3rd world dung hole. I would order the commanding officer of the Marine guard to kill any animal that comes over the wall.

Not a day goes by, that at least once, I read something that this regime did that makes me what to pull my hair out and scream!!! Me too! I cannot believe that all Americans are not discussed with King Obama and his communists empire. King Obama should have been impeached a long time ago and Biden should be put in a cage.

Then why send in the Marines, so they can die too????

This is just setting them up.
Who did this? It is beyond belief.

I had mentioned in another thread this ambassador looked like the spawn of Pelosi with those vacant eyes and evil toothed grin. Maybe I went easy on her if there are muslim ties to her and she is somehow a stealth Al Quaida operative working within the US government. Does anyone know if she is indeed a muslim?>

Ambassador Patterson was in Washington during the demonstrations. The link has it wrong, which raises questions about the assertion that the MSGs were not allowed to have live ammunition.

There is no Reagan in sight. It is 2012.

No live ammo for Marines protecting overseas Embassies, BUT NOAA, DHS, and SSA (who have no overseas installations) are purchasing ammo like it is going to obsolete in the next 30 days???? WTF

The link has it wrong, which raises questions about the assertion that the MSGs were not allowed to have live ammunition.
Following the link, the sourcing on this accusation is dubious to almost non-existent. It's certainly worth the media asking the question, but for Romney to go off half-cocked on this right now would be a really bad idea.

ANOTHER blunder by Obama and SecState Hillary(!) Clinton. First, Benghazi, Libya, and now Cairo, Egypt. These flippin’ morons are pretty free with other peoples’ lives. Where's the outrage? Crickets.
