John, I'm telling you I'm really scared man. These guys are killers. Clinton won't even answer my calls about beefing up security. Can you help us? .... John? John?
This administration is deliberately crippling whatever intelligence we might be able to collect.
One of the things a new president will have to do is clean out the State department and staff it with people who act in the interests of the United States.
Basically, under obama any ambassador is subject to sacrifice for political gains.
State Department employees now know they work for a government that will not have their backs when they are in danger in a foreign country.
what a load.
Oh, please....let me help Braindead Dems w/ that:
WRT Obama/Hillary's gun-running (Fast and Furious and so on): When Putin finds out that US arms that were sent on a circuitous route from Venezuela to Benghazi to Syria to overthrow Assad, Putin can go to the Hague and diplomatically demand action be brought against the Government of the United States...including every House and Senator and government official that was involved in this... (And that goes for Obama and Hillary, as well.)
There you go... security AND diplomacy ... all rolled into one.

WHAT DID THE CONGRESS KNOW ABOUT GUN-RUNNING? Read on.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF ARMS TRANSFERS
Third party transfers are subject to requirements for Congressional notification under AECA, §3(d) (reference (c)), using guidelines similar to those for AECA, §36(b) (reference (c)) notifications (see Chapter 5, section C5.6).
A 30-day prior Congressional notification is required for third-party transfer requests that involve defense articles and services with original acquisition values that fall in one of the following categories: Major Defense Equipment (MDE) with an acquisition value equal to or greater than $14,000,000 for non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) recipients and $25,000,000 if the recipient is a member of NATO, Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand or Republic of Korea; or any other defense article or related training or defense service with an acquisition value of $50,000,000 or more for non-NATO recipients and $100,000,000 or more for NATO, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand recipients.
Approval is granted after the 30-day (including weekends) period has expired if no objections are raised.
I am having trouble understanding all the reluctance to going oversea.
Obama promised us the world was going to love us.
AND he put someone in charge who would answer that 3AM phone call.
I really hope to see Hillary! as the Dem Candidate against Trump.
Even if the debates have to be conducted from somewhere inside a prison.
Who would volunteer to go to a post where, when under attack, you would be abandoned by a drunk Sec of State and a so-called POTUS more interested in fund raising?
I honestly don't know how they recruit Foreign Service or Military personnel under this regime.

We’re supposed to believe something will happen to Hillary with this scandal? Is Trey still huffing and puffing?
A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.
The most”frustrating” thing for a diplomat is to “not be able to do anything?” I would think the most frustrating thing would be getting tortured, dragged through the streets and killed. Like when Hillary The Cold and Joyless was Secretary of State
Good post, thanks.
Do you have any information on what happened to the ambassadors teenage ‘boyfriend/lover’?
I don’t understand why, if he is alive he hasn’t been called to testify and if he is dead his death has never been reported or if he is a prisoner there is no mention of it.
Kerry in front of a fence, or behind a fence. Either would be good.
You too can be collateral damage for TPTB namely Hillaryous (we came) Rotten (we saw) Criminal (he died), Sociopath of State.
