This is from Marine Corps spokesman Captain Kendra Motz:

Perimeter security is the responsibility of the host nation police/security forces. The embassy in Tripoli and the consulate in Benghazi do not have a MCESG detachment. Typically, when a new embassy is established, it takes time to grow a new MCESG detachment. In coordination with the State Department, there was discussion about establishing a detachment in Tripoli sometime in the next five years.(bold is mine)

A US embassy and consulate in a country that's just had a revolution don't have military guards. WTF is going through their heads?!!!!

Reporters at the briefing pointed out that the officials on that conference call noted that they were giving out preliminary information that might have been wrong and if the State Department doesn’t talk about the night’s events ever again, that wrong information would remain uncorrected in the public sphere.

“The U.S. government is going to be happy to let incorrect information stand?” one reporter asked.

“I will make a personal pledge to you that if I become aware that information we gave that first night is radically wrong in a way that you deserve to know, I will do my best to get that information to you,” Nuland said. “But I have to respect the fact that this is now a crime scene.”

That Marine was telling us exactly what obama ordered the Military to do and say. The obama administration slashed the funding for Embassy security by 193 million dollars and diverted it for graft and redistribution schemes.

Captain Kendra Motz is blowing smoke up our butts.

Marines are a rapid response fighting force. They don’t need “time to grow”. What hogwash.
