Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.” If true. . . .

If true, this is absolutely unbelievable. Correction: Unfortunately, with the Obama administration, this is all too believable.

While Marines are typically relied on to defend U.S. territory abroad, such as embassies, these reports indicate that the Obama administration was relying on Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to ensure American security, a move observers are questioning as violence in Cairo continues to rage.

The Obama Administration relying on the Muslim Btotherhood to 'show us the love' ..... maybe they should check in with former Ambassador Stevens and see how well that worked out for him. Oh wait .... the mob dragged him to the hospital that so that worked out just fine. /s

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson

And no doubt the one who approved the apology for hurt Muslim feelings. So of course bullets were banned. They might have caused some hurt feelings of their own.

If I were the Ambassador in some 3rd world dung hole. I would order the commanding officer of the Marine guard to kill any animal that comes over the wall.

Marines with no ammunition?

This is just setting them up.

Who did this? It is beyond belief.

Ambassador Patterson was in Washington during the demonstrations. The link has it wrong, which raises questions about the assertion that the MSGs were not allowed to have live ammunition.

No live ammo for Marines protecting overseas Embassies, BUT NOAA, DHS, and SSA (who have no overseas installations) are purchasing ammo like it is going to obsolete in the next 30 days???? WTF

The little Muslim knows if he gives ammo to the brave soldiers they might do something with it he doesn't like..
