Well, this isn’t good.

First, there’s the news that Obama has been running his campaign on donations from China. Then, the Princeton economist Obama used to attack Romney says that Bozo is full of BS. Now, it looks like the State Dept. did leave the ambassador defenseless against all logic.

Bad day for the clown.

The Colonel is making appearance on the news stations....He was also at Foxneews.

Obama is NOT going to stiffle this !

Did you see the thread on Spook Wars...Authored by Bill Gertz?

[Gaffer]

Disgruntled ex employee....had a political fixation with Republicans...dangerous loner and individualist. That’s what will be said if it gets far enough for a reporter with balls to aks the questions that need to be aksed....

[Fully Awake DAV]

Still contend that the attack on the consulate was arranged as a ruse...The attack changed course when the former Seals fought back...I think the intention was to take over the consulate similar to the Iranian Embassy in 1979....All to have Obama come to the rescue and resolve the situation...
Where was the Ambassadors personal security detail?

The thread:

Revolt of the Spooks

[InterceptPoint]

the State Department removed as many as 34 people from the country in the six months before a terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others.

Sound like exactly the right thing to do if your goal is to "keep a low profile" in Libya. Sure, a few people may die but at least we won't suffer all of those "Big, Bad, USA" stares from our Muslim "friends". Leading from Behind is not an easy policy to implement. It takes real leadership, the behind kind.

This guy, Kennedy was too busy heading up the “greening” project for the state department to worry about these trivial security matters.

I kid you not - Kennedy IS heading up a Greening project for the department.

How much of his time is spent on *that* little gem?

One State Department source tells CBS News the security teams weren't "pulled," that their mission was simply over.

Exactly! Reducing security was not a "mistake." It was a deliberate act planned by the State Dept.

Now that is interesting...first I have heard that name with regard to this mess....

Can you drop us some detail ....link or whatever.

"We tried to illustrate... to show them how dangerous and how volatile and just unpredictable that whole environment was over there. So to decrease security in the face of that really is... it's just unbelievable," Wood tells CBS News.

It's not "unbelievable" .... it's murder.

RE: "Obama is NOT going to stiffle this !"
It's to big at this point. Issa and his staff have their work cut out for them.

I did NOT drive to McDonalds. I merely arrived at my destination.

[Viennacon]

Yes, we can only hope more ‘spooks’ come out against the admin for putting people’s lives at risk. They should be held accountable.

“The Greening Council helped facilitate the first-ever charter among foreign embassies, which states that its signatories will strive to make their buildings and operations more sustainable, will support the city’s efforts, and will share best practices on greening and sustainability.”

The last time I saw pictures of the consulate at Benghazi, the building didn’t look so “green”.

[gaijin]

If you’re a black POTUS u can kill 300 poor brown Mexicans, 2 US officers, and apparently a US Ambassador...!

Wow...!

[TigersEye]

Can we be sure that McDonald's was really your destination or was it simply a statistical certainty that someone would be at that drive-up window at that moment due to market forces put in play years ago?
