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.”

Such decisions should not be in the hands of ambassadors who often qualify for the position based on little more than how helpful they were in getting a president elected.

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?>

yes sir!.........but, I will match you and raise you a hunerd!...........a young marine should have the “right” written into his contract, to throw down his weapon and quit in the face of such an order.............meaning it ought to be illegal in any event to order a young marine to face imminent and potentially deadly danger with a unloaded weapon! What an insult to these young men!

I despise the liberal bitch that gave this order and the officer that permitted it! When I signed, I signed to”obey all “lawful” orders! This should be an unlawful order!

>>SOMEBODY needs to ask 0bama WHY in a civilized nation like ours, contrasted with the radical goons and thugs in Egypt, Libya, etc., the White House security staff need ammo for their guns, after all: if our Marines are denied ammo in hazardous duty posts, why on Earth would the Secret Service and White House security staff need to have ammo here at home? When was the last time that a bunch of Islamic terrorists tried to storm the White House? NEVER! So why all the guns, ammo and security?

Amen and Amen.

The Buck stops with YOU, Zippy.

Remember how quick you were to lay blame on Bush for everything that happened during and after his administration, even if it was ramrodded through by the Democrat Congress? Well, this one is wholly owned by you. Not the previous administration. Not the Congress. Not the Tea Party. Not obstructionists. YOU. Your policy. Your decision. Your pick for Ambassador. You - the Commander in Chief. Mr. “Lead from Behind.”

Better get busy on your blame game plan, Zippy. This is gonna take some serious work to try to spin it as someone else’s fault.

If it were anyone else but Zippy, I’d say get off the golf course and lead. But I think Zippy does less damage when he’s on the golf course.

Please, dear God, preserve our Republic and the good citizens in it until we can get rid of the Marxist in the White House and replace him with an honest man.
