News like this makes me sick!
When are people going to wake up and see what is going on?!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!
They must carry Blanks ,just like Obama
NO civilian should be able to deny our servicemen the basic tool with which to do their jobs. If this moron ambassador wanted unarmed security, hire them. Don’t bring in unarmed Marines.
Also, she should be held liable for her idiotic decision-making, if any of our Marines were injured after effectively being dissarmed.
This lady really puts the ass in ambassador...
What the hell are they supposed to use? Harsh words?!
Our military have become sacrificial lambs to our enemies and to the gay community.
These ambassadors are generally big donor Leftists, but such a treasonous and deliberate “policy” to jeopardize our personnel would defy the very mission of the State Dept;ie., to preserve and protect our embassies and would come from higher up than Annie the Ambassador.
This the beginning of CYA for Hillary and Bracky. Blame the underlings when you can’t blame Bush.
I wonder if the ambassador knew she was unprotected ???
What woman would choose to live in Egypt and especially with no weapons...
What are they supposed to do, point the guns at them and say BANG?
Maybe Obama wants them to use fruit to attack those invading our soil or at least give them pointed sticks.
What did they have - beanbags? What a disgrace.
Maybe Social Security Office could provide some ammunition to the Marines.
IIRC the marines at the barracks in Lebanon were also not allowed to have ammunition in their weapons and could not stop the truck that blew up the barracks. One would have thought the Brass would have learned something. The Brass, except for the few like Lt. Col.Allen West, are often more concerned about their careers than concerned about their men. OK, I know this was not a military decision, it was the State Department.
Here’s the sickest thing about this of all:
The Marines: No Ammo
The IRS : Plenty of Ammo
The DHS : Plenty of Ammo
The SSA : Plenty of Ammo
In other words, against your own citizens, you’re prepared to use deadly force. Against rampaging Islamic savages, you’re not.
These could be any of our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, friends......
I would like to see Congress pass a law requiring all active duty military to be armed with fully loaded weapons and 4 spare magazines at all times, except when off duty or in training using training rounds.
The State(less) Department has done more to ruin our relationships around the globe than any other government organization. They have way too much authority to control not only our negotiating positions with other countries, but with regards to commerce and activities within our borders, much as when they held a negative position on the Keystone Pipeline project. Who died or retired and left them in charge?
Sounds like these folks have a death wish.
We held out for 55 days during the Boxer Rebellion.
Fox on this “report”:
**UPDATE**
Further Marine spokesman at Pentagon Lt Col Chris Hughes says these reports are NOT true. This is on the record:
“The Ambassador and RSO have been completely and appropriately engaged with the security situation. No restrictions on weapons or weapons status have been imposed. This information comes from the Det Commander at AMEMB Cairo.”
>>>>Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit US Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blog spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any US military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”
This SH*T has to stop. If you are going to disarm our military then BRING THEM HOME. You are guarding US SOIL and PERSONEL and you are fighting with SPIT WADS?? Where the hell is the outrage?
Anne Patterson HAS THE BLOOD OF ALL THE ASSASSINATED ON HER HANDS. Damn, I’m pi$$ed.
