Issa’s hearing was an expose’ of the Marxist’s unconscionable failed Middle East policies and a cover-up of epic proportions.
G. D. them all.
27 days and counting.
Lord hear our prayers.
Let’s cut to the chase.
The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 is an international treaty that defines a framework for diplomatic relations between independent countries. It specifies the privileges of a diplomatic mission that enable diplomats to perform their function without fear of coercion or harassment by the host country. This forms the legal basis for diplomatic immunity.
Article 22. The premises of a diplomatic mission, such as an embassy, are inviolate and must not be entered by the host country except by permission of the head of the mission. Furthermore, the host country must protect the mission from intrusion or damage.
Article 29. Diplomats (and diplomatic personnel excluding local employees) must not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. They are immune from civil or criminal prosecution
Importantly: Concerning compulsory settlement of disputes. Disputes arising from the interpretation of this treaty may be brought before the International Court of Justice.
So what does all this mean?
If the US chooses to do so, its authorized detachment of US Marines may be armed with all sorts of weaponry. If the host nation fails to protect our embassy and its grounds from intrusion, these US Marines may be ordered by the ambassador or head of mission to defend the embassy and its grounds with lethal force.
The US State Department is usually horrified with this idea, on the grounds that it “would offend the host nation.”
Nonsense.
The host country has *failed* in its treaty *obligations* to defend our embassy from *their* people. If they are truly upset that our US Marines have used belt-fed heavy machine guns to hose a crowd of violent demonstrators invading our embassy grounds, then that nation can *sue* the US in the International Court of Justice, if they like.
The US Marines can set up a perimeter around the heavy, reinforced embassy, that would be extremely hard for anyone without tanks, artillery, or combat aircraft to penetrate.
In the First Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia, aka “Blackhawk Down”, 160 US military personnel with little or no planned defensive positions, engaged some 5,000 or so armed Somalis in the middle of a random urban area. The US military personnel suffered some 18 killed and 73 wounded. But in the process killed some 1,500 to 3,000 Somalis.
Now imagine half a squad of heavily armed US Marines defending a reinforced embassy from a mob of several thousand rioters, from within an elevated and reinforced defensive position in the embassy.
After killing a few hundred such rioters, I imagine the rest would lose their taste for the fight. Then our embassy could subcontract with a local company to haul the earthly remains of the rioters back into their own country for disposal by the host country that failed to protect our embassy.
What’s important here...the February 17th Martyrs Brigade got their school lunch program via $30 per day stipend.
What’s the February 17th Martyrs brigade background check? Something like: “Yoo...you gotta AK?”
Has this ever been reported by the maninstream media?
We were told the ambassador suffocated, and the men dragging him through the street were "helping" him by taking him to the hospital. This is what we were initially told by the MSM. Have they ever reported the truth?
If not, why not? /sarc>
