The State Department is denying charges it held up a security contract to protect the U.S. Ambassador in volatile post-conflict Libya.
On an appearance last night on Piers Morgan Tonight , former Romney and United Nations spokesperson Ric Grenell said he’d been told by State Department officials that Academi “was set to go in and provide security for the Ambassador in Libya.”
“They have been waiting,” Grenell said. “They've done some preliminary evaluations, but for two months, they have been waiting while the State Department decides to get the paperwork right."
A second source with ties to Foggy Bottom confirmed the substance of Grenell's account to BuzzFeed.
But State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland issued a blanket denial this morning of the claim that State Department red tape held up a contract with the firm.

“I wish Israel would get it over with.”
I’m a little tired of waiting myself.
If I could have only one wish:
“My fellow Americans, I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw al-Qaeda forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”
Depressing, ins’t it? I would give my life for a just one day with Reagan at the helm.
Hope that helps.
Here is what I did today. Loaded up the 3 year old g-son and headed for the kid's fishing pond. No fish, but we found a turtle.
The we headed for one of gramps secret spots and caught our limits of some nice pan fryer size rainbow trout. And then we had a nap...
Sounds like a very Zen day..........I am apt to go to the range tomorrow....that’s very therapeutic, for me.:)
As for Valerie Jarrett ...GRRRR!
Hey, if the State Dep’t denies it, it must be true. Thanks bhf, and kudos on the graphic.
George Bush’s fault (/s)
Good for you, Grandpa Fred. That sounds just lovely, and very refreshing for the soul.
Keep dreaming those dreams.
Mine involve O’ooboo in solitary confinement in an orange jumpsuit and pink underwear. He will like the underwear.
What, the State Department behind the killing of Federal Employees? Why should this be any different than the Fast and Furious incident? Whatever has to be done for the greater good!
Don’t underestimate how fast someone can go over a “security fence”. One night at oh-dark-thirty I happened to get up and glance outside, just as a couple guys emerged from the woods and went over the apartment complex’s “security fence” (much like what you depict) like it wasn’t there.
Thanks Typical Tax Payer.

In other words "...State Department red tape held up a contract with the firm."
Wonder why/how this got so out of hand. I mean, I really want details regarding actions taken/not taken by POTUS and SOSUS.
