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

[massgopguy]

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

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

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.

[verum ago]

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.

[AdamBomb]

How about using this guy as the replacement?

[NormsRevenge]

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

[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.

[bronxville]

He was one of the ambassadors along with Pickering (who Hillary selected to head her investigation into the Benghazi-gate murder) who took Bush to court over Gantanamo Bay terrorists being incarcerated there with out a trail:

He’s one of the in-crowd so will do just fine. They only take out the big guns when someone goes against them.

[Churchillspirit]

Wonder who Mr Pope pi**ed off to get that assignment?

[Jumper]

The US Dept of State always sends the "career" diplomats to the undesirable posts. The most important positions politically speaking are given to campaign donors; go figure that you support a president and you are appointed to Paris, London, or if you have business interests you can apply for The Netherlands;)

Notice that Gene Cretz did not jump back into the fire as he is an Middle East Hand and too smart to risk his life under the current State Department leadership. Good man who will no doubt play a significant role in the background supporting more of those political appointee ambassadors as the real person in charge of the diplomacy.

Too bad for the USA that the same cannot be said for the current president, a Muslim ring-knocker.

‘lost’? did we misplace him? did he wander off??

obvious spin / media cover is ... obvious
