Exactly. Holding umbrellas instead of responding to Benghazi.

State Dept. Rules of Engagement Kept Marines out of Tripoli, Benghazi in Libya

Captain Kendra Motz, Marine Corps spokesman, told Breitbart News on Friday that she wasn't aware that the Marine Corps had issued a formal statement, but that the information included in the Powerline report was correct.

"The Marine Corps does not have any Marines stationed at diplomatic installations in Libya."

When asked if she knew of the existence of the document outlining the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, she stated:

"I don't, and even if I did I couldn't disclose it to you because it puts people at risk."

The 50 Marines that were rushed to Libya after the murder of Ambassador Stevens are not permanently stationed at any diplomatic installation in Libya.

I don’t know why the Marines bothered to respond. The rain might have stopped before they got there. But, sigh, what difference does it make now......
