OBAMA ADMIN SENT UNARMED BRITISH FIRM TO PROTECT U.S. MISSION IN BENGHAZI "No Bullets" ROE
Breitbart ^ | 091812 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 09/18/2012 10:05:42 PM PDT by Fred

EDITORS' NOTE: According to a source close to Breitbart News and high up in the intelligence community, the Obama administration's policy following Muammar Gaddafi's death has been to keep a "low profile" during a chaotic time.

For this reason, according to the source, American Marines were not stationed at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli or the American mission in Benghazi, as would typically have been the case. In the spirit of a "low profile," the administration didn't even want an American company in charge of private security. Blue Mountain, the British firm the State Department hired, was willing to abide by the "no bullets" Rules of Engagement (ROE), so were a logical fit for the contract. These sub-standard protections for American diplomats were signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the ROE.

In essence, the Obama Administration tasked an unarmed British firm with security responsibilities that should have been handled by armed American servicemen, and it was all approved by the Secretary of State. Needless to say, the plan failed and an Ambassador was murdered, along with several others.

As of now, the State Department has not disclosed the full State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya.

Here is the full story.

makes me wonder if it was a hit because they knew AMB Chris Stevens was about to blow the lid off of the reason why they did a drive by on Ghaddafi , ( to loot the trillions they owed him and held )

” “no bullets” Rules of Engagement (ROE)”

This is insane. Obama is directly responsible for the death of Stevens and the others. Obama is a murderer.

Will Obama disarm our whole nation next?

They’ll have to gin up another Romney “controversy”... he kissed a baby and now he’ll have “secret pedo tendencies” or something.

There is no way the MSM is going to report this

This should be a cause for impeachment, trial, and hanging of Buckwheat. But it will be ignored.

Yet, Rice said on some of the Sunday shows, when asked about not having enough security, said of the 4 that were killed TWO security (seals), I don't think she said seals.

TWO security????? TWO??? 2???, wow, like that was enough. She re-stated that stupid remark several times, when the host would let up. I don't think the host could believe his ears either. TWO, she said.

What will tomorrows SAGA from the WH tell us?

The “October Surprise” will probably be another “Anita Hill” type high-tech lynching of either Mitt or Paul. - It’s all Democrats know how to do; but they’ll need the media to hang with them. (Crossing their fingers the public remains gullible just a little bit longer.)

Limey poofters.

If Hillary were *really* as good as Slick Willie, she'd have fraudulently attacked the Brits for not providing proper security ("I am OUTRAGED! They weren't even ARMED!") to satisfy Obamugabe's hatred for the Brits -- seeing as how he returned the bust of Winston...

Cheers!
