This past Friday the State Department released internal docs showing that Chris Stevens, U.S. Ambassador to hells corridor in Libya, begged Obamas boys in D.C. to ramp up security in Benghazi. And, as we all know now, he got nothing from the State Department but was allowed to be tortured and murdered by democracy seekers from the Religion of Peace in the liberated nation of Libya.
As far as I am concerned, blood is dripping from Obamas golf-gloved campaign hands. Whatever do I mean, you ask? Well, according to James Rosens findings in the newly released damning papers, its crap like
· On September 11the day Stevens and three other Americans were killedthe ambassador signed a three-page cable, labeled sensitive, in which he noted growing problems with security in Benghazi and growing frustration on the part of local residents with Libyan police and security forces. These forces the ambassador characterized as too weak to keep the country secure.
· Roughly a month earlier, Stevens had signed a two-page cable, also labeled sensitive, that he entitled The Guns of August: Security in Eastern Libya. Writing on August 8, the ambassador noted that in just a few months time, Benghazi has moved from trepidation to euphoria and back as a series of violent incidents has dominated the political landscape The individual incidents have been organized, he added, a function of the security vacuum that a diverse group of independent actors are exploiting for their own purposes.
Islamist extremists are able to attack the Red Cross with relative impunity, Stevens cabled. What we have seen are not random crimes of opportunity, but rather targeted and discriminate attacks. His final comment on the two-page document was: Attackers are unlikely to be deterred until authorities are at least as capable.
· By September 4, Stevenss aides were reporting back to Washington on the strong revolutionary and Islamist sentiment in the city.
Scarcely more than two months had passed since Stevens had notified the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and other agencies about a recent increase in violent incidents, including attacks against western [sic] interests. Until the GOL [Government of Libya] is able to effectively deal with these key issues, Stevens wrote on June 25, the violence is likely to continue and worsen.
· After the U.S. consulate in Benghazi had been damaged by an improvised explosive device, earlier that month, Stevens had reported to his superiors that an Islamist group had claimed credit for the attack, and in so doing had described the attack as targeting the Christians supervising the management of the consulate.
Islamic extremism appears to be on the rise in eastern Libya, the ambassador wrote, adding the Al-Qaeda flag has been spotted several times flying over government buildings and training facilities
· In the days leading up to 9/11, warnings came even from people outside the State Department. A Libyan womens rights activist, Wafa Bugaighis, confided to the Americans in Benghazi in mid-August: For the first time since the revolution, I am scared.
From the 166 hellish pages we see a stack of warnings, via multiple cables sent to D.C. from Chriss own laptop about which diddly was doneand that being after prior bombings of the Red Cross and our own compound and an assassination attempt on the British ambassador. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. This is gross and inexcusable.
If what happened in Benghazi on 9/11 was not an act of terror, or an act of war, I dont know what is. Whats the Religion of Peace got to do to wake this administration the heck up? Destroy one of Obamas favorite golf courses?
Oh, BTW: Missing from the extensive documents is any mention of a YouTube video ticking these peaceful protestors off.
Someone please forward this over to Romneys campaign for talking points for Monday nights debate on National Security.

Across 166 pages of internal State Department documents released today by a pair of Republican congressmen pressing the Obama administration for more answers on the Benghazi terrorist attack slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and the security officers assigned to protect him repeatedly sounded alarms to their superiors in Washington about the intensifying lawlessness and violence in Eastern Libya, where Stevens ultimately died.
On September 11 the day Stevens and three other Americans were killed the ambassador signed a three-page cable, labeled sensitive, in which he noted growing problems with security in Benghazi and growing frustration on the part of local residents with Libyan police and security forces. These forces the ambassador characterized as too weak to keep the country secure.
In the document, Stevens also cited a meeting he had held two days earlier with local militia commanders. These men boasted to Stevens of exercising control over the Libyan Armed Forces, and threatened that if the U.S.-backed candidate for prime minister were to prevail in Libyas internal political jockeying, they would not continue to guarantee security in Benghazi.
Roughly a month earlier, Stevens had signed a two-page cable, also labeled sensitive, that he entitled The Guns of August: Security in Eastern Libya. Writing on August 8, the ambassador noted that in just a few months time, Benghazi has moved from trepidation to euphoria and back as a series of violent incidents has dominated the political landscape The individual incidents have been organized, he added, a function of the security vacuum that a diverse group of independent actors are exploiting for their own purposes.
