If you read the article you would find it said that embassy was a new one and it takes a few years to get a marine embassy group there. It also mentions private contractors for security. Suppose they use that kind until the marine group is there. Don’t know if the private contractors were actually there.

This embassy and consulate are in freaking Libya which just overthrew a dictator. It was not in Switzerland! I don’t care how long it normally takes to get Marine guards in place, this is not a normal situation! Especially for the anniversary of 9/11, get some well armed Marines there for protection on the double! It was just so stupid and needless for the Ambassador and the other Americans to have to die because of the ineptitude of this administration! What a disgrace!
Who do you think the 3 ex-military guys were?
Apparently not there. Their contract has still not been signed.
I did read that it takes five years, which is beyond absurd!
