You’d think a few hundred fully-armed Marines on-site could have provided the time & resources needed for adhering to protocol. Disarming said Marines and sending them home seems ... a poor choice.

Alas, the sheep have rejected the sheepdogs, yet still have no clue what to do when the wolves arrive.

not planned by micro-manager National In-security adviser Susan Rice. These people have to be charged with negligence at the least or releasing classified information. I guess the administration is doing all it can to aid the enemy without breaking the law...
