[what's up]

there were no Marines providing any security for any of the diplomatic personnel in Benghazi?

I was wondering about this too...until I realized Benghazi is a consulate.

We don't have Marines at consulates...just Embassies. The Embassy is in Tripoli.

Well, I understand that; but one would think that the Ambassador would have security with him no matter where he was. And would not that security detail be US Marines? What a effin' mess.
