I'm sure you are correct your stuff is always impeccable and I only bring up the obvious to suggest that even though he was undoubtedly the best man for the job he still had a target on his back. I read in several blogs, don't have links handy, that he had met zero in Chicago which would not have been out of the ordinary.

The only relevance of his sexual preference is that he becomes a bigger target for the bad guys only reason I brought it up.He definitely needed the extra security he requested. How do you explain his requests for additional security being denied.And then the night of the 13 hours is totally inexplainable.

I think part of why he was killed is that he knew too much as you state he was imminently qualified. I also read he had converted to Islam as far as that goes.

All new ambassadors get invited to the WH for a photo-op. The Ambassador is the President's personal representative to the country he is assigned to. It doesn't matter whether they are career officers or political appointees.

Some bureaucrat in DS or NEA ruled against it for whatever reason. The reality is that the host government is the real guarantor of security for our diplomatic personnel. We should never have had anyone there after the British Ambassador was attacked in his car in Benghazi. If the host government can't protect you, you get out.

I have no knowledge of any conspiracy to kill him, Whatever he knew, other people knew as well. I have never heard he converted to Islam. If he did, I would think that the Obama administration would have publicized it as a positive.
