COLONEL: HILLARY MADE DECISION NOT TO POST MARINES AT BENGHAZI

Michael Patrick Leahy

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt laid the blame for the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the Benghazi, Libya American mission on Hillary Clinton and the State Department:

The State Department just allowed our guys to get killed. If you approve no bullets in guns for the mission security guards and an outhouse for a mission, you’re inviting it.

Earlier, on Howie Carr's radio show Thursday, Colonel Hunt said that the American mission at Benghazi "was like a cardboard building, there wasn't even bullet proof glass." In addition, Hunt said the security guards inside the mission didn't have bullets:

Howie Carr: They weren't allowed to have bullets, is that correct?

Colonel Hunt: That's true. They were private security. The rules of engagement were ridiculous.

Hunt told Breitbart News that the new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, approved and signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the 2011 fall of Khadafi's regime, severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.

He also stated that the decision not to staff Benghazi with Marines was made by Secretary of State Clinton when she attached her signature to the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya document. Breitbart News has subsequently learned that under those rules of engagement, Secretary Clinton prohibited Marines from providing security at any American diplomatic installation in Libya.....

Not until the members of the media stop throwing themselves figuratively on the hand grenades the administration keeps dropping in their own foxhole.

Is this about to blow up in the admin’s face?

Obama must be protected at all costs, so they need someone pretty high up to take the fall, IMO. It should be Hillary, but I don't think Obama has the guts to do it.

I am thinking it is about to get ugly. Look at this here.

The State Department told reporters Friday afternoon that it won’t answer any more questions about the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans until the investigation into the incident is complete.

Bunker Mentality.

Didn't Clinton Administration Department of State and his ambassador in Yemen, Barbara Bodine, demand that the U.S.S. Cole personnel not be armed out of "respect" or something for the Yemeni people?

Next time send Demobrat State Department personnel over there to handle things . . .

Wow. Knock out two elections with one disaster.

Wow is right. If true.

But it's Hillary, so be careful. She's on this 24/7, guaranteed.

Remember, she doesn't have to sleep, and she doesn't blink.

On the other hand, she's never gotten past that reptilian brain thing, either...

... so brace yourself to witness a screwup of staggering proportions.

Again.

The world media is reporting on much of this... as is Fox. And the msm is covering it in bits and pieces. Some liberal journolistas smell blood and blood to that species of shark is a strong attractant. This is an unfolding scandal... it will be devastating and a slow burn. I truly think this will finish off more than a few careers.

Another AhHa moment for us, right? Like the truth matters.

The truth has not mattered in a long time. The spin is in.

I know I'm sick of this. I know most of you are.

Why? Maybe Huma is co-ordinating mission objectives with her pals in the MB.

The simplest explanation usually works quite well.

If theOne forces the hag to resign, Bill would sink the campaign. That would be a good thing for our side.

The media is already becoming the story with their bias... the msm want to survive and prosper... obama is a loser and he is going down and it will be a slow process but they will turn on him just like they did Johnson.

The alternate media is going to have to get the word out. The msm is in full Obama protection mode. They are like the 3 monkeys. Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. Example: they are blaming the movie for all that has happened. That way it is not Obama’s fault but the movies fault. Just absurd and a total farce.

Worse than that, Hillery set the ambassador up so our spy list could be taken by our enemies.

Romney should smell blood in the water now. “When I am POTUS, our Marines will have live ammo and will protect our state department employees”

I’m going to frustrate all of you, infinitely, by telling you that now that we have an open FBI investigation on the death of these four Americans, we are not going to be in a position to talk at all about what the U.S. government may or may not be learning about how any of this this happened –not who they were, not how it happened, not what happened to Ambassador Stevens, not any of it — until the Justice Department is ready to talk about the investigation that’s its got,” State Department spokeswoman Victorian Nuland told reporters late Friday afternoon. “So I’m going to send to the FBI for those kinds of questions and they’re probably not going to talk to you about it,” she said.

Held accountable by whom? Nothing will be done and there is no line that this administration can’t cross. Thanks to the corrupt government and media we no longer have any standards to uphold.
