OBAMA ADMIN SENT UNARMED BRITISH FIRM TO PROTECT U.S. MISSION IN BENGHAZI "No Bullets" ROE

EDITORS' NOTE: According to a source close to Breitbart News and high up in the intelligence community, the Obama administration's policy following Muammar Gaddafi's death has been to keep a "low profile" during a chaotic time.

For this reason, according to the source, American Marines were not stationed at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli or the American mission in Benghazi, as would typically have been the case. In the spirit of a "low profile," the administration didn't even want an American company in charge of private security. Blue Mountain, the British firm the State Department hired, was willing to abide by the "no bullets" Rules of Engagement (ROE), so were a logical fit for the contract. These sub-standard protections for American diplomats were signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the ROE.

In essence, the Obama Administration tasked an unarmed British firm with security responsibilities that should have been handled by armed American servicemen, and it was all approved by the Secretary of State. Needless to say, the plan failed and an Ambassador was murdered, along with several others.

As of now, the State Department has not disclosed the full State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya.

Here is the full story.

But, but, according to that great TV trickle down the leg Matthews, they had a history making ceremony at Andrews AFB to welcome back the bodies of those killed.

Now, I know that makes everything okay, right?

[jennings2004]

Oh, he went out for a smoke....I am sure he will schedule a press conference soon to give the staunch Republican stand on this issue....uuuuhhh, he won’t? Who knew?

[TigerClaws]

But Romney’s wife has horses! So care about the ME?

[GeronL]

It is all they have, but the MSM will always be with them, like “the force” for a Jedi

Thanks, you reminded me to look Susan Rice up on Wiki, and YIKES! The broad is dangerous and so 'smart' maybe bordering on mentally ill.

[Uncle Miltie]

"COVERUP!"

[proudpapa]

Under Obama our enemies are provided with guns, ammo & training. But our soldiers & guards get no ammo.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot!

[Personal Responsibility]

They’d rather have to deal with dead Ambassador and embassay workers than the fallout from having to explain why one of ours fired on the crazies. Insanity.

[exPBRrat]

Well fry my hide...in a world wide fight for our lives as freedom loving Americans that’s just totally plain stupid.

“The administration is just refusing to say exactly what their situation was in Libya.”

None of this makes sense and odumbo admin has done virtually nothing to clear up the confusion.

I have been wondering if the two ex-SEAL guys killed were Tripoli based? Were they even security or CIA doing something else? Was there a “rescue mission” with U.S. personnel?

What happened to the Benghazi security detail? Etc., Etc.

Blue Mountain, the British firm the State Department hired, was willing to abide by the "no bullets" Rules of Engagement (ROE)..There's more going on here than meets the eye. In the old day s a real newspaper would have looked into this - for reasons OTHER than to provide cover for their boy.( 'boy' used as term of art - not a racist comment)

[Twinkie]

The “dark side” of the force for the enemy forces of the Jedi.

[GeronL]

bump

I think “the force” is the same, it’s the user who is the dark side.

:p

[Bigg Red]

It breaks my heart for my country to know that I am not the least bit surprised to learn this.

Is an exploding Middle East Obamugabe’s Reichstag Fire?

[Bigg Red]

You’ve got that right!

So sick of these marxists.

[nutmeg]

Is an exploding Middle East Obamugabe’s Reichstag Fire?

It should be, IMO, but he continues to get away with his lame "it's the movie's fault" excuse. And he repeated that lie on Letterman last night. He lumped Libya in with the uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, etc., etc. "It's because of that movie."

God: PLEASE let this 4-year nightmare end on 1-20-13!!
