Like this is a surprise. Ambassadors who demand the Barney Fife approach for security so as to not offend the host country....

On the anniversary of 09-11 the same year Osama was killed?

Criminal level incompetence by the 0bama regime.

Now Hussein’s going to double down on disenfranchising the military.

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”

Such decisions should not be in the hands of ambassadors who often qualify for the position based on little more than how helpful they were in getting a president elected.

Great idea - not! And then ADVERTISE it to the world???

Its like posting one of those signs “Firearms are banned on these premises”.

The incompetence is simply staggering...

Well, at least Social Security offices in the US will be well-armed.

Live ammo for the EPA, IRS, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, etc. But not a single live bullet for our Marines.

Re; U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition.

Too bad she didn't get a dose of the same "medicine".

I may now have the answer to my question on a couple posts yesterday, as follows:
“One thing I have been attempting to understand:
Are our embassies guarded by our military?
Are they armed?
What are their Rules of Engagement?
Why were the first terrorists who broke past the fence not mowed down?”

I’m too angry to post any more right now.

No Live Ammo for Marines

Not surprised, I've seen this foolish policy since Vietnam, and it has cost us thousands of American lives.

Good-bye, Hillary. You can forget the face lift, because you have no chance for a Democrat run in 2016. These stupid rules would have meant the deaths of those inside the Cairo embassy, had the mob wanted to go that far. The dead bodies of the Americans murdered in Libya are around your neck and the Kenyan’s neck because there were NO Marines to protect the consulate on 9/11.

You just can’t fix stupid when it comes to the wishful thinking of the Left. Those who know that “the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth,” don’t live in this Never Never Land.
