The Canadians may have had intelligence, but we didn’t have much. I read yesterday that the CIA was pulled out of all the “Arab Spring” countries, at the orders of Obama, about 6 months ago. This came out because they are feeling unfairly blamed for having dropped the ball, when in reality they weren’t there anyway.
The embassy in Cairo had received a warning from some source in the State Dept about possible unrest (blaming the film!), which is why they were ready to go with their apologetic statement. They don’t seem to have increased their security, though.
I think I heard or read that the Cairo embassy has 100 to 150 people in it and they evacuated it a couple days before, except for security personnel
No CIA in Arab countries?????ordered by Obama six months ago?????what is going on?
