then why did the marines not fire back, why was none of these cowards killed and this is an act of war, hell did the marines even have rounds or told to stand down whilst this was going on?

There is much more to this story, and it happens in the two countries jug ears helps and overthrows one of our allies in Egypt and on 9-11.

This was planned and the video was na excuse and for jug ears to put down our free speech in the way of this video was sickening but then the media covers for him AGAIN

I FRIGGING HATE THIS MEDIA

This has the hand of Ayman Al-Zawahri all over it:

According to al-Sharef, the angry mob stormed the consulate after the U.S. troops who responded fired rounds into the air to try and disperse the crowd. Al-Sharef said there had been threats that Islamic militants might try to take revenge for the death of al Qaeda's No. 2 commander Abu Yahya al-Libi, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan in June, and he said the U.S. consulate should have been better protected.

Confirming al-Libi's death for the first time in a video posted online Monday, al Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zawahri called on Muslim's in al-Libi's native Libya to take revenge for his death.

The fact that we did not have Marines guarding the consulate in Benghazi, where the al Qaeda flag flies in many quarters, is the epitome of ignorance and incompetence.

No doubt the reason we didn’t have Marines on site was to avoid offending the peaceful local Muslims. That Obama prioritized Muslim sensitivities over the safety of our consulate and people is borderline criminal.

Congress must investigate this, and now.

When the Ambassor is dead, then it’s too late. This is a failure of epic proportions. You can send in Soldiers now, but that’s not going to bring these dead Americans back. Hillary Clinton needs to go! This is a State Department debacle and she is responsible! She wanted a big job, and with that big job comes big responsibilities. She can’t handle it! We’ve got dead Americans and it’s on Hillary’s watch! How many Americans will have to die before Hillary Clinton is fired! How many!

“bring the killers of our Ambassador to justice”

I suppose suggesting `workplace violence’ would result in lynchings state-side, so are they trying to spin this as a random act of senseless violence—that we need to bring the `criminals’ to justice?
(Rather than a massive, perfect storm failure of Obama’s foreign policy: “Hey, let’s try playing nice with the murderous religious maniacs!”)

Have they tried bringing Chuckie Shumer and Dianne Feinstein in front of the mics to blame assault rifles?
Maybe Libya needs more gun control laws.
You know, the whole, “Let’s make lemonaide out of these lemons!”
Up Chuck and Di, Up! s/

If I recall correctly the Marines are facility guards whereas VIPs are provided a Personal Security Detail (PSD) which is usually comprised of contractors, local or otherwise, on contract to the State Dept.

Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Hillary has got to go! This is Hillary’s baby! Another clueless, talentless rookie Democrat and now we have dead Americans. The Obama administration is the biggest collection of idiots ever gathered in one place.

If a country refuses to allow us to have our own security forces..then we shouldn’t be there.

They cannot refuse to allow us to bring in anything via diplomatic pouch. I am quite certain that we could bring in a bunch of equipment - in pieces, if necessary - via such a method. Once inside the embassy grounds, we're on American territory, and OUR law governs.

am i the only one who wants to know where the marines were

I'd have every embassy in any country that could remotely be considered hostile armed with several belt-fed .50s, along with at least 10,000 rounds of ammo per. Breech the gates, and standing orders would be to give the offenders a heavy dose of F U, courtesy of John Moses Browning. Host governments don't like it, then we pack up and leave, but not before air-mailing them a parting gift. It is THEIR job to stop violent protests from getting to the gates, but OUR job to protect AMERICAN territory.

Many conflicting opinions about how he was killed, but if this pic is accurate and legitimate, it appears he was likely beat to death.

Why are there no dead muzzys? I would think if the Marines were there then some enemy should be dead right now.

agreed, something stinks about this.

The marines were there, did they have rounds for their guns and were they told to stand down?

It seems that there were no dead muslims at all and no way I am thinking that if the marines were allowed to defend American territory and defend themselves there would be no dead.

Questions like this need to be asked as what is the point of having marines there wiht guns if they can;t use them.
Along wiht did they stand down, not shoot back, no rounds and who gave the orders
