Yesterday, we reported that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was responsible under the law for the “security policies and programs that provide for the protection of all US government personnel … on official duty abroad.”
Clinton herself seemed bewildered by the attacks on the Libyan consulate, asking, “How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction?”
--SNIP--
But according to the Independent, she had no reason to be puzzled. Quoting senior diplomatic sources, the paper reports, “the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted.”
Nonetheless, “no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and ‘lockdown,’ under which movement is severely restricted.”

not quite on the level of mobs will be attavcking the embassies in E#gypt and Libya that the Brits AND the Egyptian told us about. This was more of a warning that security was weak at the embassies in Libya.
And thank YOU for the laugh.

Greta trying to protect her gal pal Hillary?
Huma and the guy she helped are her personal freinds.
That is why she is so bewildered. She felt they wouldn't do anything like this. Intelligence be damned.
This scandal could knock Hilary out for 2016!
Just wonder what the long play is.
There were warnings on the news. Why is everyone pretending that didn’t happen?
There is another game going on. I have a suspicion, but it may be getting out of their control.
I hear the bus coming, Hillary. Say hello to granny Dunham.
What do you expect? The MSM is an unelected part of the democrat party.
In my opinion, McLame looked and acted like the certifiable schmuck he actually is on Hannity tonight.

Hillary should be hanged for treason.
Yeah, basic situational awareness precautions. Shouldn’t take an order from on-high to quietly amp up the FP posture...Everyone from the pretender on down to the embassy security shift NCOIC has a part of all this.
I think it is disgusting for her to put on that fake outrage and make demand..it makes us look stupid. And Obama going to Vegas to party and then act like he is on first name bases with the dead diplomat..makes me outraged ..these 2 are frauds scamming the country..Can’t believe Dems are dumb enough to falll for it.
She might be but Greta is one of the few on Fox News who even though she tends to be more left, she is fair and I think that she wont report on something until its absolutely confirmed. I believe the story but Greta is just playing things safe til this information can be corroborated
Hillary is not usually this publicly incompetent. She has a long history of having all her bases covered. So why would she allow herself to look like a blond bombshell?
according the Embassy’s own news, this Consulate was attacked by an IED in June, and a UK diplomat group attacked.
this is an outrage that the Consulate had such little security when these events happened only 3 months ago.
from the Embassy in Tripoli news/warnings:
“U.S. citizens are advised that there was an armed attack on a UK diplomatic convoy in Benghazi on June 11. Two individuals sustained injuries. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident is a reminder of the fluid security situation in Libya and is the latest in a series of attacks in Benghazi against diplomatic and international installations, including the IED attack against the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi on June 6. U.S. citizens in Libya are urged to exercise caution. “
I believe that she also ignored the warning signs that Bill as screwing the 21 year old interns (Okay, it was only oral sex which isn’t really sex according to Bubba)
This is just SOP.
