I’m wondering how the marines/guard survived. I’d think they’d be the first taken out, especially since they were disarmed.

I’m wondering how the marines ... survived.

Other reports state that the Marines were dispatched to the nearby safe house to help evacuate the consulate staff who managed to escape from the consulate, and were killed at a second battle there. One report stated that the deaths at the safe house resulted from a mortar barrage, other reports say there was an RPG and gun battle.

There may not have been any Marines at the consulate itself.

There were zero marines at the Libyan consulate from what I understand. Some American forces died in attempts to get the remaining Americans out in a rescue mission.

Here it is Friday and the media has been more concerned about if Mitt misspoke.
