There's some interesting information in here, notably the comment from one local hired to guard the Embassy: "We used to tell the Americans who spoke to us on many occasions that we needed more support in security, because it felt thin on the ground. But they didn't seem to be so worried, and (were) confident that no one will dare to come close to the consulate," one guard said."

Typical of the 0bama administration, huh?

The British security firm that provided security at my last stop in Iraq hired Gurkhas. Great guys, but wouldn't want to piss them off... :)

The US spends hundreds of billions on defense, intelligence, and on a diplomatic corps, yet we outsource diplomatic security to a British company?

This kind of thing pisses me off to no end.

What the hell do I pay taxes for if the federal government is not even doing its most basic duties that it is constitutionally required to do?

Who did the firm hire in Libya!

I heard a story yesterday while in Washington, DC. The the guards hired by the British firm were known Jihadist’s. It true this would be the nail in Obama’s reelection chances. If the story is tru then it makes sense for Romney to wait until Monday’s debate. Allowing obummer to really keep his lies going until the can bring his regime down.

Has anybody else heard this about the guards being Jihadists?

Something here is rotten and it is time to dig down to the source. The greatest military in the history of earth and Obama outsources the job to guys carrying clubs? The Black Panthers could have been hired for less than we paid for that.

The unarmed guards were told to sound the alarm over the radio and then run for cover if there was an attack, a Libyan who acted as a supervisor for the Blue Mountain local guard team at the mission said...

Now we’re going to blame it on the Brits. Getting a little crowded under the bus.
