COLONEL: HILLARY MADE DECISION NOT TO POST MARINES AT BENGHAZI

Michael Patrick Leahy

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt laid the blame for the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the Benghazi, Libya American mission on Hillary Clinton and the State Department:

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.....

If Obama can shift all of the blame over to her, he will.

Why was a private security contract involved when we have Marines for security?

She must resign

A person of conscience and character would, but we're talking about Hillary Clinton.

Plus there's this...

On Friday, Breitbart News filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the State Department to secure a copy of the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya.

Look for the State Department to continue to stonewall this request, and resist release of the document until after the election. Its contents will be just too damaging. In effect, the country will be able to see Hillary Clinton's signature on the document that served as Ambassador Chris Stevens's death warrant.

You can tell when a school of sharks is going to go into feeding frenzy. It starts slowly with them swimming back and forth sensing blood in the water and zoning in on the source... then they start circling and taking swipes at each other and then BAM... it is every shark for him or herself. I may be wrong... but the press hates weakness and they will exploit it. I could be dead wrong... but I have been alive for awhile and I have lived through Kennedy and Johnson and Nixon etc. I knew when scandals were brewing in the past and this looks exactly like the beginning of Watergate. The election will take the place of impeachment.

You can see my full reply above this one. I could be wrong but I detailed what I think and why. I could very well be wrong but I do not think so at this point.

Not if they can really convince the sheeple this was about an obscure video on Youtube.

I have to tell you, it broke my heart to see those particular members of our government receive the bodies of dead Americans from the embassy today. The president’s speech was spoken without passion, yet nightly newscasters repeated it like they were auditioning for Patton. What a fraud the news is. To think, the word “trust” used to be associated with them. Mrs Clinton sounds like one tired, old lady who knows the gig is up. This attack was devastating and revealing. I pray for the families. God bless America, please.

If she had... those Devil Dogs would have setup a perimeter defense and if the threat would have been responded to as Bush would have done... they would have had some massive firepower on hand and some attack choppers placed nearby... hidden but ready.

Obama must be protected at all costs, so they need someone pretty high up to take the fall, IMO. It should be Hillary, but I don’t think Obama has the guts to do it.

Especially with all the fake support Bill has been giving him. Bill has egg on his face now and looks like a total fool for supporting BO and bragging on Hillary.

It was Hillary that was always trashing the military and Secret Service personnel assigned to the White House when she and Bill were squatting there. She thinks of them as lower class disposal servants.

Hildabeast's decision is understandable given her self-described history of nonchalant braving deadly Bosnian sniper attacks with no protection.

This would be a good time for a Mossad info drop. I’m sure they have Obama’s Libya security details.
