COLONEL: HILLARY MADE DECISION NOT TO POST MARINES AT BENGHAZI

Michael Patrick Leahy

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt laid the blame for the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the Benghazi, Libya American mission on Hillary Clinton and the State Department:

The State Department just allowed our guys to get killed. If you approve no bullets in guns for the mission security guards and an outhouse for a mission, you’re inviting it.

Earlier, on Howie Carr's radio show Thursday, Colonel Hunt said that the American mission at Benghazi "was like a cardboard building, there wasn't even bullet proof glass." In addition, Hunt said the security guards inside the mission didn't have bullets:

Howie Carr: They weren't allowed to have bullets, is that correct?

Colonel Hunt: That's true. They were private security. The rules of engagement were ridiculous.

Hunt told Breitbart News that the new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, approved and signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the 2011 fall of Khadafi's regime, severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.

He also stated that the decision not to staff Benghazi with Marines was made by Secretary of State Clinton when she attached her signature to the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya document. Breitbart News has subsequently learned that under those rules of engagement, Secretary Clinton prohibited Marines from providing security at any American diplomatic installation in Libya.....

one opinion is that since this is staged by the Moslem Brotherhood, one plan may be for Obambi to step forward and call for calm and the MB will arrange for instant calm, execution of a couple of people and Obambi exits stage left as a hero, who “calmed the waters” in Jesus fashion.

I did read that it takes five years, which is beyond absurd!

A lot of people have forgotten the wretched, scandal laden Clinton years, and have made the same pro-Hillary comments. (they laugh at the short memories of the electorate) HILLARY and BARACK OBAMA are like peas in a pod, Alinsky proteges, Muslim Brotherhood buddies, dedicated to “creating” an ideal Socialist society through much confusion and destruction of the “Old Order”. - Never mind Socialism has never worked; to them, they’re just the perfect people to establish it FOR THE WHOLE WORLD, and the only people “smart” enough to rule the world. - They have the idea that they can control their Muslim “subjects”. HA!

Little cracks here and there. The more the leftards hide things for him... the more some in the press become disenchanted. It will be a slow drip and not a flood but it is coming.

It will be a slow process but I do believe that some in the press will turn. A few already are. All it takes is for one story to appear critical (it has)... and then it will drip out slowly. We are at the start. The same thing happened to johnson.

Why is a great question.

Something has just struck me.... Remember these words? “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

WHO is ‘we’?
WHO is ‘a’
WHO is ‘civilian’?

What if these statements were not meant to include American citizens on American soil? Have we not been arming our enemies and undermining our allies since 0bama took office?

Hillary must resign.

The rules of engagement were designed to produce this exact scenario— the inability of our forces to protect themselves in a dangerous land.

That is criminal, and her reign of incompetence must end.

I saw a little of the footage with the coffins in the hearses. It made me sick to my stomach. I have never considered political theater as this repulsive. I hope you have a BOB and plans for emergencies.

Is this about to blow up in the admin’s face?

The MSM will protect Obama and Hillary.

Here’s a tidbit from, of all places, CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/15/world/meast/libya-diplomats-warning/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Three days before the deadly assault on the United States consulate in Libya, a local security official says he met with American diplomats in the city and warned them about deteriorating security.

Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security.

He said they told the diplomats that the security situation wasn’t good for international business.

“The situation is frightening, it scares us,” Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He did not say how they responded.

Hillary and Barry can slide into the sewer together with blood on their hands, IMO.

I wanted to gag seeing the Puke and Hitlery standing anywhere near the coffins of these men yesterday. Talk about hypocrites.
