For me, I don’t care weather it was terrorists, protesters, or a birthday party, Where the hell were the marines that were supposed to be guarding the embassy? Who redirected our security forces!

It was a consular building, not the embassy. The embassy is in Tripoli, hundreds of miles away. This was an outpost in the middle of al Qaeda territory.

Here is a pic of the Al Qaeda flag flying over the Benghazi courthouse back in November 2011. Benghazi 2011 Al Qaeda

The Ambassador is usually in the embassy. Stevens was in Benghazi, in the middle of Al Qaeda territory, with virtually zero protection. He begged for protection for weeks before 9/11. Obama refused him every time.
