GOP Senators Ask State Dept for 'All Communications' with Ambassador Leading Up to Attack
Breitbart ^

Posted on 09/26/2012 4:25:49 PM PDT by Perdogg

Two GOP Senators are demanding clarification on what security measures were in place for U.S. personnel there after reports that those who attacked the Libyan consulate may have had inside help.

Sens. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and Bob Corker (R-TN) have sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton which stated that they were "extremely concerned" over news of how security may have been handled in the days leading up to the attack.

Isakson and Corker have read reports that indicate the State Dept. not only failed to bolster security at the Libyan consulate as threats mounted but actually sought a waiver to circumvent their duty to so.

This squares perfectly with the scenario Libyan militia leader Fawzi Bukatef described when he claimed the Obama administration left all security measures in the hands of his militia, the February 17 Brigade. And it is feared that because of Bukatef's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist factions, the February 17 Brigade may have actually stood down and allowed the attackers to reach Ambassador Stevens.

I foresee endless stalling and assertions of executive privilege.

Dead men tell no tales.

Obama and Hillary tell fairy tales. And let's not forget Obama's prostitute..Ms. Rice.

They will die of old age before anyone in this administration disgorges anything.

Meh.

What are the esteemed gentlemen prepared to do if their requests aren't fulfilled?

His emails are probably in the same place as Hillary’s Rose Law Firm billing records.

Apart from the former SEALs, the gent killed with the Ambassador was an “IT guy.” Was he with the Ambassador because he was carrying comm gear (ie, SATCOM)? If so, does the NSA have tapes of their calls for assistance...or worse?

Perhaps the Senators suspect that Amb. Stevens may himself have requested security (a reasonable assumption given the CNN report from Stevens' diary that he was in fear for his life).

Would be interesting to find out if a request from the Ambassador was denied by Her Heinous.

The ambassador’s death was a planned assasination. I suspect Obama & Hillary were in cahoots with Al Quida on this one.
