Whether they're private or U.S. Marines that still doesn't excuse them being there with no ammo - that's just plain madness on a good day ... let alone in that region! :shock:

Was the refusal to provide more security caused by budget cuts to embassy security? “No, sir,” Charlene Lamb, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Programs, told the committee.

To make matters even worse:

Lamb said that the State Department was right not to grant Nordstrom’s request for more security. “We had the correct number of assets in Benghazi on the night of 9/11,” Lamb said, per The Cable, citing the Libyan security personnel.


Ahhh such a he said she said.....no, actually more like asleep at the wheel and Incompentence at the highest levels, right to the Top including that arrogant little P*ick in the Oval Office.

Got that right Ed. Just hope the American people are finally awake now ... and someone that's NOT biased is recording this history, just so it's NEVER repeated again.

Just when did the U.S. start using foreign nationals for guards?

I don't know when, but the one's at the embassy were asking for much more security for a long time.


"4) Posted on the wall was a list of security incidents in Benghazi, detailing attacks, explosions, and battles between June 1, 2011 and Sept. 2, 2012. Of the 38 incidents, 27 had occurred since July 26, 2012.
5) The Libyan guards hired to guard the U.S. embassy told Birnbaum their training had been for a small attack on a single entrance, not large-scale assault by heavy weapons from three sides.

6) On 9/11, one Libyan guard hired by the British Company Blue Mountain, said he told U.S. officials that the single Libyan police car typically posted outside the compound was not sufficient: "We need many cars from the military." "

As best as I find by using google, foreign nationals were being used well before 1985.

There's clearly more going on with the Libyan embassy security responsibilities than the public is being told. I live 30-35 miles from Washington, DC and some of the local press is talking about various congressional committees saying the security responsibility was assigned to the "OGA", Other Government Agency. This is a common Washington euphemism for the CIA. If that's the case clearly the CIA wasn't on the job. That could explain why the state dept. officials said, don't sent anymore requests for more security. They just couldn't tell the people making the request who's job it was. It's also obvious the CIA was/is quite involved in Libya and many of their ground personnel are contractors. All and all a very murky shadowy situation. Unfortunately, several lost their lives. And this election season is using it to make political hay. Some in Congress have apparently let some of the secrets slip to exploit it. What a divisive time we live in.

Or how about - people died unnecessarily and we know the truth will not come out through regular channels. So someone courageously spilled the beans on this c rap - thank God for them. Devisive times my a$$.

Political or not, when the government does something so irresponsible as to send an embassador to a tinderbox with ZERO protection, that needs to come to light! I don't care how, but the American people NEED to know about the ineptness of our elected officials. These bastards need to be voted OUT of office IMMEDIATELY. They are a threat to national security.

Even The Red Cross got out of there. Where has Hillary been, talk about keeping a low profile. This is just a "bump in the road" to a "young democracy" according to Celebrident Obi Wan Been -on- the- view- ay.

I guess we really didn't learn anything & most of this was on our own soil. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/h ... tacks.html
This is to point out how quickly we become complacent. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/11/opini ... nings.html

Sam, Sam, page 16 of the blue book again diversion/deflection. Now be a good commie and stay on script, this is not about 9/11.

CNB, let me get this straight, attacks that occurred on 9/11 are not about 9/11 & total lapses in security are not about poor security. OK now I can see how we learn nothing from past mistakes, thanks for clearing that up. Or you can take your head out of your & realize that this has more to do than what party is in at the time, it's an ongoing problem that seems to be ignored rather than fixed. But then again as soon as we get someone else in the W.H. it doesn't matter if we go down the toilet as long as Obama is out of there.
