The Marines are guarding the Embassy in Tripoli, which is the capitol of Libya. Benghazi was always the ‘second’ city of Libya and thus we had no offices there until Ghaddafi was overthrown.
We rented a series of buildings for our ‘consulate’ which were neither designed nor constructed OR RETROFITTED after we moved in to be secure from attacks like this. No walls or fences to keep the bad guys out, no blast proof walls or bulletproof windows to protect our staff.
In short, Hillary and the State Dept. sent the Ambassador into Libya and Benghazi without either a secure place to house him, or the required US MILITARY forces to protect him.
The scandal here is breathtaking, and all the media, including Fox News is doing a terrible job of reporting the facts behind this heinous attack.

It really is. We are getting carpet bombed with what Mitt said while the administration refuses to fill in the blanks. Failed rescue mission? Attacked by mortars? Etc.
I can’t help but contrast this with the post Osama raid WH briefings. They were happy to leak all sorts of info on live TV about the Osama raid hours after it went down. Now we get nada here and the presstitutes provide a smoke screen for the WH. Disgraceful.
And--unlike some Pubs--he does not criticize Romney for his remarks. Instead, he pointed out that when he was caampaigning for president, Obama was critcizing Bush for deaths in Afgahnistan under his watch.
