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.....

This intel will be leaked because the obama administration is full of leakers. These are egoists that want to be a part of the story... they leak everything and they will leak this and our enemies will leak also. This is a huge world wide event and all eyes are on obama... and he is way over his head and outside his comfort zone. He has no one of consequence to advise him. He is surrounded by ideologues who have tunnel vision.

Someone better ask Mrs. Amba*ASS*ador about why she dragged her feet about sending in Blackwater.State Department Denies Holding Up Blackwater Libya Contract

Now that got my attention!

The USS Cole was a gift from clinton to mubarak for the egyptair fiasco. clinton needed mubarak to intervene in the pali piece talks with Israel and mubarak refused. Seventeen dead Sailors later, he reconsidered. clinton’s VOA sent condolences to the poor palis who got themselves killed attacking the IDF BEFORE even acknowledging the SEVENTEEN DEAD AMERICAN SAILORS ON THE USS COLE. clinton still didn’t win his coveted peace prize because arafat screwed him huge.
THIS is beginning to look very much like that. Stevens for al libi. The rest is window dressing. Right out of the clinton playbook.

Here!Here! Watch the shiny object!

I hope/pray you are correct. I just have no faith left in my fellow man.

“PIAPS bump! LOL. it’s been a while since I’ve seen that. :)”

Ha, it’s an oldie, but a goodie isn’t it!

Slick Willie’s wife should have allowed them to at least have a few of the Border Patrol’s bean bags.

So, who was to serve the tea?

[Reference to Hillary using security as her own personal wait staff when she was First Lady.]

“Hillary Rodham Clinton said that she once visited a recruiting office in Arkansas to inquire about joining the Marines. ... she became interested in the military in 1975, the year she married Bill Clinton and the year she was teaching at the University of Arkansas law school in Fayetteville.”

“She was 27 then, she said, and the Marine recruiter was about 21. She was interested in joining either the active forces or the reserves, she recalled, but was swiftly rebuffed by the recruiter, who took a dim view of her age and her thick glasses. ‘Not Very Encouraging’

“You’re too old, you can’t see and you’re a woman,” Mrs. Clinton said she was told, adding that the recruiter dismissed her by suggesting she try the Army. “Maybe the dogs would take you,” she recalled the recruiter saying.”

Heh.

I don’t think Col. Hunt was in a position to know this for sure, this is speculation on his part. But I admit he’s making a compelling article because he is sharp with his deductive reasoning.

[LibLieSlayer]

I heard an ap report and again on Fox tonight that the families of those killed requested that the President not come to where they were or use their presence in any way. They know the truth and they do not want obama near them.

It mentioned private contractors near the beginning of that article, so where they using them until a marine group would be formed later for this new embassy?

[TigersEye]

Now who told me Hillary wouldn’t be making these decisions? I’d still put money on Hillary directing the tweets of apology from the Cairo embassy.

[MNJohnnie]

You know this is one thing a lot of Americans do not understand. The amount of fire power the average US infantry unit can call down on a target is pretty incredible.

The failure here is not means, it is the lack of anything resembling political leadership.

We are flying in Marine FAST teams NOW. It is almost Saturday and we are only flying in Marines NOW AFTER the Friday riots?

Can you imagine the media hysteria if this President was a Republican for this level of total incompetence?

[LibLieSlayer]

Yes... it really is... I can smell the fear.

After all the bitching about Romney 'outsourcing' jobs, why is Obama (via Hildabeast, but Obama non-the-less) outsourcing the security needs of our ambassadors and sovereign US terratory to people who are clearly of the mindset that the United States is the enemy. What could be more important than having the national interest of a fellow countryman to be protected, as they have been for hundreds of years, by the MARINES (armed, locked and loaded).

They gave Romney hell for something he did not do (Bane outsourced jobs they said), while Obama is outsourcing the security neeeds of the consulate and personel with people who are at war with us, whether the Obamaites admit it or do not admit it.

Romney needs to bring this us again and again and again.

[VanShuyten]

This is from Marine Corps spokesman Captain Kendra Motz:

Perimeter security is the responsibility of the host nation police/security forces. The embassy in Tripoli and the consulate in Benghazi do not have a MCESG detachment. Typically, when a new embassy is established, it takes time to grow a new MCESG detachment. In coordination with the State Department, there was discussion about establishing a detachment in Tripoli sometime in the next five years.(bold is mine)

A US embassy and consulate in a country that's just had a revolution don't have military guards. WTF is going through their heads?!!!!

[himno hero]

Here is what needs to be investigated.

Why doesn’t someone just say he plays for the other side?

Or better yet, he already knows exactly what is in the tube.

This arab spring thing is just one of Obama’s orchestrated, choreographed and conducted projects in building and consolidating his North African caliphate. Being muslim, he knows exactly what he is doing, and at America’s expense.

Strategically, his goal was to encapsulate Israel. Soon they will take a run at it and if they find it easy going, then they will take another run at America.

Worst part? Obama has a penchant for dictators and “rulers” and the alien/muslim feels the same should be for America. It will be a bitch prying his ass from the White House. I believe he will attempt to hang on to power at any cost.

We have a Ghazi operating in our white house.

Investigation will bear nothing.... until way after it has happened and he is firmly entrenched as the dicktater of America under marshall law.

yurr october surprise as Obams global strategy unfolds.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>No. The media won’t cover it. If a Republican brings it up, the admin will lie and deny it, and the news media will report it as a Republican gaffe. <<

If a Republican brings it up, the demonic John Boehner and John McCain will rise to do their father Lucifer’s bidding...that is, to condemn it and defend Hillary.

[LibLieSlayer]

I have faith in few on Earth... but my faith in HIM runs deep and wide.
