" where Libyan rebels ousted strongman Moammar Qadhafi last year. "
Where oBama single handedly ousted strongman Moammar Qadhafi last year for his Libyan rebel buddies.
Fake but accurate

HEY...our AMBASSADOR was there......where are the MARINES???? Tripoli I assume. That's where the embassy is, that's where their post is. They aren't the ambassador's personal bodyguards.

Muslims ONLY respect STRENGTH.....ONLY strength!!!! Sadly the Amb.was seen as WEAK. I doubt even that is true. They hate. It's what they do best. They hate without fear from retaliation because when your goal is martyrdom then it doesn't matter if you're picking on the biggest guy in the room or the smallest.

You’ve got every right to be pissed. And you missed something from a related article. This was one of the last postings by the ambassador, in some on-line game forum (so, he wasn’t perfect). He was smart - he knew his days were over.

"sending Marines now...kind of like shutting the barn door AFTER... what a fool we have for a president"
Kind of reminiscent of how Clinton & Les Aspin refused to send our Rangers the equipment they asked for, and then left them there to die in Mogadishu.
The Obama White House and State Department have repeatedly been told since 2009, by both Congressional Committees, and the State Department's own watch-dog, that security at our embassies needs to be beefed up. So what did Obama and Clinton know, and when did they know it? When will we see Sandy Burgher make another trip to the Archives to stuff classified papers covering this tragic event, down his pants?

>> Folks we are being lied to.
I don’t get how this is being characterized as a social-media based operation, yet there was no actionable intel that would have helped to protect the embassy personnel.

In the quotes I heard played on the radio our government officials said that the Libyans carried the body to the hospital. No doubt the MSM spun that to sound like they took the living Ambassador to the hospital. I've never heard someone refer to a living person as a "body" that they are taking to the hospital.

No that was Sean Smith that was the in the online game forum not Amb Stevens.

And now Breitbart is reporting Obama didn't have an intelligence briefing for foreign affairs anytime in the week prior to the attack. Which seems strange being it was the Anniversary of 9-11.

Sean Smith that was the in the online game forum Wikipedia tells me that Smith (vile_rat) was a big time gamer. Like, known globally.
Must have made a hell of a contribution to Obama's administration.
