WHY DIDN"T THEY TAKE HIS DIARY???? hmmmmmmmm
It was still there until Anderson Cooper took it??? Fake story??
I don’t disagree.
But is it normal for an Ambassador to travel to a consulate without a security team?
No one has explained why he was there.
Clearly, at least to me, is this trip was a normal part of his routine. And that someone who knew that tipped off the terrorists. They knew he was there. They knew he was without his security.
Why would someone travel without security?
They would if they did not want to draw attention to themselves or if they did not want the security to know what they are doing. Or both.
So, you have a man routinely traveling to a remote site with no security because he did not want to draw attention to himself or he did not want his security team seeing what was going on.
There are very few possibilities for WHY he was there that are not really embarrassing or just plain bad.

Ooorah.
I told a Marine about this story yesterday. He got LOUD. In public, too.
One wonders if this is how Obama would protect the United States...with a “no bullet” defense. Pray for the U.S.
May be related to this?
“Obama backs effort to recover Arab Spring assets”
The Associated Press
September 11, 2012

“U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder (L) and Qatar’s Attorney General Ali Bin Mohsen bin Fetais Al-Marri (R) attend the closing session of the Arab Forum on Asset Recovery in Doha September 13, 2012”
The story changes every time an unexpected consequence arises. The goal seems to be avoiding consequence rather than establishing a cover.
The meanderings reveal a lack of discipline in an arena that requires complete dedication and to an extent, the willingness to give no answer even when it may project a political image that is unpleasant. The evolution of the story is not consistent with revealed facts but seems to be the approach of a the average school age child who has not yet recognized that the world does not conform to imagined scenarios.
If this is a cover for an op, that is being handled very poorly.
You might want to consider the possibility that he doesn’t underestimate the Marines ability which is why they weren’t there to begin with.
When it comes to politics assume nothing.

Someone in Libya said he was a Muslim.
So you have at least 3 possibilities
A gay tryst (doubtful)
Traitor
CIA
Someone wanted that diary to get out. The question is who. For all we know, it wasn’t even in Stevens handwriting.
The diary sounds like a plant.
If he was a traitor he might write about being a target of the terrorists to give him cover.
If he was following a mission he might write about being a target to give him cover.
This whole thing is bizarre.
It is so bizarre I am wondering if the CIA is out to get Obama voted out.
Just because Zero is an official "No I Can't" doesn't mean that Marines are such wussies. I guess that Zero is doubling down on how nobody could have done anything to address any of the thousands of failures he has embraced as "Forward".
The ex seals were private security contractors or worked for a private security company, they were not for the personal protection of Stevenson!
Chesty would have held that building.The locals would have had trouble finding enough dumptrucks to haul away their dead.
Lets put this into prospective. Twelve Marines would have held out for hours against 250 invaders. The twelve might have all died in the end with the ambassador...but as daylight would have come...there would have been at least 200 hundred of the invaders laying out dead in various positions.

There were 40 to 50 attackers from the accounts I have read. The attackers did have back up using mortars.
He may be right if they would have had to follow the rules of engagement they are forced to use in Afghanistan. If there were any civilians around...they are all civilians...WOULD THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO FIRE????
Yeah...he recovered some bullets and rocket propelled grenades the other day. When do you think we might want to collect the rest of the arms we left there?
Ping.
