The AP reports that the State Department has sent a temporary replacement to the U.S. mission in Libya, after Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed last month. Laurence Pope,a career foreign service officer, will take charge of the mission until the Senate confirms a new permanent ambassador.

LOST AMBASSADOR really AP???? You lose keys, parking spots etc....

[massgopguy]

Or, in the case of AP. You lose your mind.

I sure they hope they FIND Christopher Stevens.. He could really be in trouble LOST there in Benghazi without any security provided to him. /s

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Lost. It was just carelessness. Or, as Sandy Berger would say, “sloppiness.”

Well, good luck to the replacement. I hope he has better security.

[SJSAMPLE]

I expect that position to become somewhat like the “Al Queda #2” spot. Oft-refilled.

No thanks, Barry.

[GraceG]

I would hate to be the new guy...

[US Navy Vet]

So is the one a FLAMER too?!

[Roccus]

Being an ambassador in the ME is like being a guy with a bangalore torpedo during an invasion.

Good luck, Mr. Pope. Under the current administration, you’ll need it.

I’d start demanding security right now if I were him. If he plays his cards right he’ll get nothing less than 4 men with Nerf guns. Maybe rubber band guns.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I hope his life insurance is paid-up.

[RandallFlagg]

I would hate to be the new guy...

I hope he doesn't wear red shirts too often.

How about using this guy as the replacement?

[skeeter]

I get it.

[AdamBomb]

"I would hate to be the new guy..."

But....the benefits are great!"

[NormsRevenge]

Uhhh,, replacing one lost soul with another one whose last name is Pope? sounds like a risky scheme to me. ;-)

[spawn44]

They failed to mention. AT GUN POINT.

[golf lover]

He used to be known as “Lucky Larry”.

[Ben Mugged]

Many reports indicate Ambassador Chris Stevens was gay and the new security solicitation from the administration is indicating that “same sex couples” are no problem in Libya. Yeah, right.....

[Delta Dawn]

I thought that I was going to click on the link and read where Obumbles had sent Romney to Libya.

[petitfour]

They replace a “lost” homosexual ambassador with a man named Pope.
