One thing that’s strange is all the discussion of embassy security when Stevens wasn’t at the embassy: he was at a house rented out to State by a local landlord.
It is being called a Consulate, but it was not hardened or protected like an embassy is. The Brits had a ‘consulate’ right up the road from ours and they abandoned it a month or so earlier due to intel.
I know. It’s hilarious, actually. The Repubs can pounce on the irrelevancy of all there hot air gassing up the room today.
