Sic 'em!
It is reprehensible to allow our Foreign Service delegations to be in a country that is unsecure - without armed protection. It is even more egregious to Monday morning quarterback a heretofore pack of bald faced lies by opining the the US Marine Corps ‘could not have done anything’ in the first place......they weren’t even given the chance.
Our country is run by a cowering, Muslim toad.
How stupid is the administration.
And apparently they know nothing of the capabilities of our Marines.
Two retired Seals stand off the Muzlime swine for several hours, and a detachment of Marines could not have defended the embasy? Give me a break. Even if a detachment of Marines had died in the defense of our consulate and ambassador, which is unlikely, the world would know it is most hazardous to trifle with America.
To Hell with this lying Marxist regime. They lie, distort, deceive.
It’s goal is to destroy the Country. In this case, it seized on the opportunity to compromise the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution.
20 Marines at Benghazi might have made all the difference.
However, there is a problem with “security” as the solution.
The attackers, by definition, get to choose where they attack. Therefore, if security is too tight at location A, they just divert to another less secure location.
IOW, it is not possible to secure all possible target locations heavily enough to prevent or repel attacks.
Which is not to say that the administration wasn’t negligent in this case, just that “security” is not the real answer.
The Obama Administration is so pathetic they have to lie about everything. And they have to denigrate and blame our brave fighting men.
Obama is the worst president in the history of America.
The hell a FAST team wouldn’t have made a difference. The administration had enough warning to deploy a FAST team, and they decided not to.
For that matter, a normal MSG detachment would have made life hell for the attackers.
I think Hussein’s administration GREATLY UNDERESTIMATES our Marines.
You can piss off a lot of people with minimal to no repercussions.
YOU DON’T F*K WITH MARINES. THEY WILL KILL YOU AND FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN YOU F’ED WITH THEM.
Semper fi.
Do or die.
if armed Marines had been there, fortified and ready, there would have been no attack and Stevens would be alive.
What a crock. Any Marine or military person would have dealt with the threat or died trying. You can bet your a** none of them would go to sleep knowing a team member was under attack. He and his posse are not like us.
with the ROE imposed on them by the Obozo and the State Dept they would have been reduced to hand-to-hand only after getting permission from DC
(although I acknowledge that 1 marine is worth 200 of these fargin iceholes)
If there were 20 marines at the compound, the jihadi’s would NOT have attacked. They had inside info that the Ambassador was protected by next to nobody so they took advantage.
The marines would have been a DETERRENT, but the Obama Administration is weak, not strong, and all the Islamo terrorists know that.
If there were a USMC det there, the Jihadis would not have attacked...they would have known the dogs of war would have kicked their asses.
Just because Zero is an official "No I Can't" doesn't mean that Marines are such wussies. I guess that Zero is doubling down on how nobody could have done anything to address any of the thousands of failures he has embraced as "Forward".
He may be right if they would have had to follow the rules of engagement they are forced to use in Afghanistan. If there were any civilians around...they are all civilians...WOULD THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO FIRE????
