The State Department just allowed our guys to get killed. If you approve no bullets in guns for the mission security guards and an outhouse for a mission, you’re inviting it.
Earlier, on Howie Carr's radio show Thursday, Colonel Hunt said that the American mission at Benghazi "was like a cardboard building, there wasn't even bullet proof glass." In addition, Hunt said the security guards inside the mission didn't have bullets:
Howie Carr: They weren't allowed to have bullets, is that correct?
Colonel Hunt: That's true. They were private security. The rules of engagement were ridiculous.
Hunt told Breitbart News that the new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, approved and signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the 2011 fall of Khadafi's regime, severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.
He also stated that the decision not to staff Benghazi with Marines was made by Secretary of State Clinton when she attached her signature to the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya document. Breitbart News has subsequently learned that under those rules of engagement, Secretary Clinton prohibited Marines from providing security at any American diplomatic installation in Libya.....

I find it strange that 0bama wants to send troops in to secure personnel and property and not to evacuate them. That just puts more personnel in harm’s way. Yet today 0bama made a statement to the press that “it is the host country’s job to provide security.” Says one thing, does another it seems to me.
You think so LLS? No signs of media bailing on him yet.
Hope you’re right.
Captain Kendra Motz is blowing smoke up our butts.
Marines are a rapid response fighting force. They don’t need “time to grow”. What hogwash.
That's what we thought about Fast & Furious too, but I hope you are right, and this is the straw that breaks Obama's back.
earlier this week as the story started to unfold, I posted I would have taken 1000 Hillarys over Obama, when referring to husseins ineptitude. Man, do I have my foot in my mouth now..!
Do you think the press (much less the people) will ever deserve to know the truth? That is, in the opinion of Holder's Justice Dept.?
How many years has he been stonewalling on F&F now?
Bump
Check out this article I found the other day:
Years of warning about embassy security preceded Libya attack
Blackwater was waiting to be sent....Hillary stalled and failed....Americans died.
Maybe they didn’t care and were hoping for
something to happen. Or maybe they are just incompetent
Does it really matter nothing will happen to DHs or Hillary or Obama they will not be held acountable
LOL. The Statist Boehner will surely be furious.... furious that is over people attacking the good servants in the administration that are trying to do the people's work.
If Boehner remains as Speaker in 2013, then you can kiss goodbye any hope of turning our Republic towards Liberty.
The Huma angle is one of my first thoughts. If there was a leak from State she is the prime suspect.
Rep. Bachmann tried to warn the country a few months ago and took an incredible amount of grief over it. Some of the strongest came from those on "her side" aka McCain & company.
When Ellison started squealing like the stuck pig he is all over the local media here in Minnesota, I figured she was on to something.
Don't lose sight of the Huma angle, I suspect it may go somewhere - especially if Hillary! starts getting some heat.
I knew this the day it happened. There were two Marines, and an ex Navy Seal with the ambassador and they all were murdered. I have heard absolutely zero about any deaths of the vermin that attacked the consulate.
Those Marines and the Seal would have gone down fighting and killing. I am sure they went down fighting but had nothing to kill with, because they were not armed.
Have you seen this? (Howie Carr ping)
Hillary will hang on to that movie story come hell or high water and obamas media will play cover.
Exactly where we are now with this story. There has to be a point where the MSM can't ignore it anymore...
ping!
I actually recall during BJ’s reign that there was a person from Arkansas who said that Hillary was always screwing up things in Arkansas.
The witch has pushed herself where she isn’t qualified to be...and the rat cowards and the corrupt MSM just let her get away with it.
