Libya has changed from a secular Muslim country (never was very religious) to a strict Islamist country in the last year.
The State Dept has lost what few collective marbles that its’ communist brains ever had. I am convinced that they sent him there due to their (the State Dept) extreme respect and love for Amdr. Stevens - but they could not see the danger of leftist Islamist governments, since these new “leaders” were so close to Foggy Bottom politically.
And politics is all that matters to our Foreign Service.
Perhaps this will put a restraint on “gay pride” social events at our US embassies in muslim countries
