So the WH put unarmed guards in charge of protecting a cache of weapons. Sweet.
After Gaddafi was deposed, 10,000 - 20,000 MANPADS, shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles went missing that can take out commercial airliners. Glen Doherty (one of the Seals killed) was in Libya because he was on an intel mission trying to track them down. Not hearing too much about the dangers of these missing weapons, are we?
That may explain why the State Dept. official testifying before Issa’s committee gave the astounding “guesstimate” that there are “between 10,00 and 20,000” such weapons missing!!! Good grief. I hope the new ambassador taking the post in Libya has his will up to date.
It’s not like the Mexican Cartels ended up with them.

The Brits F-ed Up. They trusted the US.
Don’t they mean disgruntled movie goers? I heard somewhere that it was all an accident and that we are sorry for causing any hard feelings because somebody put out a crappy movie. Guess I heard wrong huh? Why didn’t the Brits take their stuff with them? Are they becoming like the french? Also heard that the ambassador to Barbados had a Marine contingency standing by in case there was a sudden upsurge in terrorist activity there. No wonder these clowns attack whenever they feel like it. The administration makes excuses for them instead of protecting Americans. Am I fairly disgusted with this whole mess? Understatement!
Uncle obie and uncle joe gotta go!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday US Navy!!!!! Woo Hoo!
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
It’s like the State Department put out the bait but forgot the trap.
The administration is arming the Muslim Brotherhood across the Middle East. The method is different in every country. Syria is “freedom fighters.” Egypt is above board money transfers. Libya is “theft.”
Looks to me like Justice and State are at ‘war’ with the CIA.

Looks to me like the radicals are trying to wipe out more American patriots.

British Guns Accounted For After Benghazi Consulate Attack
12/10/2012 11:55:00
Britih Foreign Office diplomats withdrew from the Libyan city in June following an assassination attempt on the British ambassador but reached an agreement with the US to leave weapons and vehicles at the American compound.
The lightly-guarded US site was overrun by Islamist militants in an attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans last month.

The Foreign Office has confirmed to the UK daily newspaper The Daily Telegraph that the equipment is still unaccounted for a month after the Benghazi assault.
Dozens of attackers tore through the American compound during the September 11 attack and since then Libyans have often roamed freely through its remains, raising the possibility that the British weapons have already been looted.
Details of the agreement between the British and American diplomatic security teams emerged during a Congressional hearing into the Benghazi attack on Wednesday.
Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Wood, the leader of a US special forces team in Libya, said a deal had been made where the British would “leave their weapons and vehicles on our compound in Benghazi”.
“They would come back and at times withdraw their weapons and vehicles and then return them and leave,” he said.
Britain’s decision to remove diplomats from the eastern Libyan city was repeatedly raised during the hearing, as Republicans demanded to know why the US had stayed even when its close ally had decided the situation was no longer safe.
Lt Col Wood said that the withdrawal of British diplomats and Red Cross workers should have been a warning to US diplomats. “I almost expected the attack to come. We were the last flag flying, it was a matter of time,” he said.
Sir Dominic Dominic Asquith, Britain’s envoy to Libya, survived a rocket attack on his on his convoy as it drove through Benghazi on June 11 but two of his bodyguards were injured. The ambush prompted the Foreign Office to close its office and remove British staff.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman would not give details of the British equipment in Benghazi. “Following the suspension of our office in Benghazi the US consulate agreed to store some equipment on our behalf. We are working with the US to establish what, if anything, has happened to this equipment,” she said.
The US State Department did not return a request by the newspaper for comment.
Meanwhile, the mother of one of the Americans killed in Benghazi said she was “repeatedly lied to” by the Obama administration and given no details about her son’s death.
Pat Smith, whose son Sean died alongside Mr Stevens, told CNN: “’I look at TV and I see bloody hand prints on walls, thinking: ‘My God, is that my son’s? I don’t know if he was shot. I don’t know - I don’t know.”
They'd better disband, or we'll really have to start pussyfooting around and delaying doing anything about it and then lying about it and blaming everybody else.
It was kinda like Vince Foster's "suicide". It should serve as a teachable moment for the obama worshipers and the Clinton worshipers but it won't. Why? Because they do not possess the intelligence to comprehend ... well anything.
