Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland admitted that she provided false information Friday about the State Department's hiring of private security firms for the American mission in Benghazi attacked on September 11th:
QUESTION: You also said there was no contract with a private security firm in Libya, and yet apparently some British security guards were hired. Is that your way of saying you didn’t contract with a firm but you did hire individual security guards?
MS. NULAND: Thank you for that, because there was an error in what I said. The external security, external armed security, as we have been saying, outside of the perimeter, was fully handled by the Libyan side. There was no contract – contracting out of that. There was a group called Blue Mountain Group, which is a private security company with permits to operate in Libya. They were hired to provide local Libyan guards who operated inside the gate doing things like operating the security access equipment, screening the cars, that kind of thing.
Please.
QUESTION: Just to clarify, they were contracted by the U.S. State Department or another agency – Blue Mountain?
MS. NULAND: They were contracted by the Department.
QUESTION: And Blue Mountain is a British company?
MS. NULAND: I’m going to let them self-identify on that front. But the people who were hired were Libyans.

When they are caught red-handed even on national TV as DWS was at DNC they continue to double down as if they will shame us or tire us from asking questions.
It is evident that they are simply in it for the transfer of wealth into their own pockets and for the sliders and champagne.
And along with their greed and selfish contempt for rules, Soros’ game of USA destroying is a disease they spread willingly.
It's odd and I can't place a finger on it but the first word to come to mind for me is "unexpected".
I really don't think the administration has been completely honest with us.
Nothing. Literally, nothing on any news headlines on the web about this. It’s all about Romney and the Mother Jones tapes. The four dead Americans are turning in their graves right now. Out of the headlines within a day, no justice being sought by a single media outlet. Not even Fox is aggressively pursuing this. Disgraceful.
Like I said elsewhere, if the terrorists crashed the planes into the WTC yesterday instead of 11 years ago, the media focus would be on Romney’s 47% comment. Thats how far down the media in the US has fallen. They view their job as to cover obama’s butt to the exclusion of everything else.
So a blatant out and out lie until they were caught. Romney could win the election today and I hope his silence is due to all the work in collating and compiling the events of Husseins political disaster..
This happened one week ago and it has already dropped from public consciousness in the US, and Obama has never had to explain anything.
C’mon now, there are priorities. He had a lot on his plate. He had to go to Vegas to compare his supporters to the murdered Ambassador. And then he had that important interview with the Pimp With A Limp.
Imagine if a republican president had let this happen and there was dem controlled house. There would be immediate hearings. As it is now we have silence from congress
My word these people are vile.
“They were hired to provide local Libyan guards who operated inside the gate doing things like operating the security access equipment, screening the cars, that kind of thing.”
WHAT?!? you let locals control access into the compound? Locals screen the cars?
What could possibly go wrong...
Which means ‘we lied before we started telling half truths and we will correct anything else that you find as we go. Thanks for letting us set the record straight when we get caught.’ When someone lies enough even they begin to believe the lies themself. The bad part is that you have to remember what you lied about so you don’t get caught in another lie later. That is why they only look “FORWARD”.
Applicants for office in the Obama administration must be able to lie without embarrassment, even when they are caught.
I become more sickened with each passing day and each lie from those people.
You are so right! Like DWS when she was caught at the DNC-vote-God-back-in...well...decree-God-back-in-for-political-expediency Debacle at the Convention.
Keep asserting the lie ‘til no one cares.
First they reverse saying it was a terrorist attack.
Now this.
Liars. I hate liars. (Is that a hate crime?)
Thanks, Fred. Breitbart has been phenomenal on this. This is a total failure of both policy and function of the Sec. of State AND obamao. Almost as if the crude b**ch wanted this to happen— and happen to obamao (clintonesqe writ all over it- Arkancide like).
Refreshing my comment/links from earlier post by you:
OK, so the US (namely idiot Hillary) hires a Brit firm of ex-SAS or ex-SBS (boat squadron) to “protect” the ambassador— HOWEVER, does so with ROEs that do not allow weapons with AMMO? WHAT company would ever agree to that? Who working for them, ever would? This stinks rather a great deal.
Of course, with our own superior SEALs, obamao takes a victory lap, continuously-— and because of that we couldn’t use any SEALs-— except 2 WERE killed (who were there working as CIA— which is poorly “covered” id in this case by supposedly real contracted protection). The brit organization has a mole in it for the libyans/al qaeda in that shadow world. All the more reason for the US NOT to use any but our most trusted protection. Mismanagement, intentional. And, they got the money they wanted from the quadaffi people— did it go to bill, hillary’s or obamao’s swiss accounts?
So all the trouble in the MIDDLE EAST couldn’t possibly be due to obamao’s idiotic trumpeting of the actual TEAM involved in osama kill, oh NOOOOO. Many more questions SCREAM to be answered. The OPSEC organization should be screaming more than a little— and call obama out for the loss of yet again more SEALs from lack of OPSec, finally being exposed as a planned operation-— not caused by some obscure internet movie TRAILER (movie is NOT out yet, and this is piss poor “cover”). Darryl Issa time!!!
Blue Mountain’s website: http://www.bluemountaingroup.co.uk/
And where they get their name:
“At the heart of all we do is our company ethos, our Professional Code of Conduct and our Customer Charter.
Our ‘Blue Mountain’ name derives from a poem inscribed on the clock tower at the headquarters of 22 Special Air Service Regiment in Hereford:
“We are the pilgrims, master; we shall go
Always a little further; it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea”.
I’ve got one for these brits, cause it is a twofer for the anti-colonial obamao—money in hand and a brit company compromised:
“Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns’ he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.”
If they backpedal any faster, they’ll have windburn on their ass cheeks.
“How can you provide security if you cannot carry bullets in your gun?”
After serious cogitation over that question, I can only conclude that since no ammo was allowed, there was no point in the guards even showing up for work; so they were free to go moonlight somewhere else, and that is why they took the gig./S
