Well, at least one question was answered. A Marine spokesperson has acknowledged there was no Marine contingent at the consulate.
Serious LACK of seriousness about security there. And a lot of signs that trouble was brewing (prior attacks, AQ video, etc). This is the kind “at dawn we slept” stuff that lefties raked Bush over the coals with. In fact the NYTimes was doing it just days ago about original 9/11.
Check this out:
“Go figure that a jihadist group that had targeted the consulate before might try something on 9/11, just as the leader of Al Qaeda was putting out a message eulogizing one of AQ’s Libyan capos. The signs were there; one of the Marines at the consulate apparently even saw Libyan “security” taking photos of the compound beforehand. What did the State Department do to prepare? Why are Marines only being sent now, after the fact, to beef up security? Why was there no evacuation plan in place? Why, apparently, didn’t Obama attend any of his daily intel briefings this week with the anniversary of 9/11 bearing down? Why did his campaign move more quickly to condemn Romney for his statement than the White House did to condemn the mob activity in Cairo and Benghazi? Why do these questions only seem to get asked of presidents from the party disfavored by the concern trolls we call reporters?”
And in Cairo, the Marines at the embassy there were not issued nor allowed to have live ammunition.
