Without upgrading security.

I’d noticed right before Benghazi that the Red Cross and Canadians had pulled out of Libya. I remember thinking that they had to know something. No one bothers the Canadians much.

230? Good grief. We shouldn't have had anyone in country even with a Marine detail for security.

State Dept. Rules of Engagement Kept Marines out of Tripoli, Benghazi in Libya
Captain Kendra Motz, Marine Corps spokesman, told Breitbart News on Friday that she wasn't aware that the Marine Corps had issued a formal statement, but that the information included in the Powerline report was correct.

"The Marine Corps does not have any Marines stationed at diplomatic installations in Libya."

When asked if she knew of the existence of the document outlining the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, she stated:

"I don't, and even if I did I couldn't disclose it to you because it puts people at risk."

The 50 Marines that were rushed to Libya after the murder of Ambassador Stevens are not permanently stationed at any diplomatic installation in Libya.

Thanks for the links. Bookmarked.
