State Department has ignored security recommendations after Benghazi

The State Department has done almost nothing to enhance security at dangerous diplomatic outposts since last year’s deadly Benghazi attack, the department’s chief watchdog reported.

In an audit released Wednesday, the State Department’s inspector general blasted the department for failing to formulate a strategy to protect high-risk installations abroad, even after Libyan ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were murdered during a terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2012.

“The Department of State has neither a conceptual framework nor a process for risk management,” the report reads. “There is no one person or office specifically tasked to oversee the assessment of risks in critical, high-threat locales and weigh those risks against … policy priorities to determine if the strategic value of the program outweighs the associated risks.”

Sure didn’t take the FBI long to get to KENYA. Three weeks to get to Bengauzi. Unexceptable!

Why would they? They are busy demeaning America,
arming al Qaeda, and going after American’s previous allies.

Impeachment and arrest for Abuse of Power (IRS), Dereliction of Duty (Benghazi) and Support of Terrorism (waving aid to terrorist laws).

This administration could not even admit what the Benghazi murders were about. Hillary Susan Rice and the whole state department talking up some video and spontaneous protesting. Our president backing up two weeks to a innocuous terrorist word in the rose garden.This is their narrative and even now they are STUCK ON IT.

Let’s look on the bright side. Hopefully the next attack happens right where that nasty Bitch Stephanie Cutter happens to be visiting. Let’s see how the cowards in the White hut react to photos of her being anally raped with a man pad rocket!
