Benghazi, Libya (CNN) -- Three days before the deadly assault on the United States consulate in Libya, a local security official says he met with American diplomats in the city and warned them about deteriorating security.

Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security.

He said they told the diplomats that the security situation wasn't good for international business.

"The situation is frightening, it scares us," Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He did not say how they responded. Inside the U.S. consulate in Benghazi Slain ambassador returns Possible security leak in Libya

Mabrouk said it was not the first time he has warned foreigners about the worsening security situation in the face of the growing presence of armed jihadist groups in the Benghazi area.

Domestic gun control, nuclear disarmament, weak ROE in war, no Marines or ammo for Marines at US embassies; the objective is the same and the outcome will be the same.

“A few hours later, Mabrouk said he received another call from Tripoli about the arrival of a U.S. team at Benghazi airport that needed transport into the city.”

Yet ANOTHER reference to a US “rescue mission”. Why only 7?
Because the rest were dead or injured at the debacle in the desert. Why is this not in the news? Cover up!

I am convinced that the reports of the Ambassador being drug into the street and killed are real.

This source is CNN, they will always protect Obozo. At any cost.

This is squarely owned by Obozo and Der Hilderbeast. The truth about this is not refutable.

This is an Act of War by al-Qaeda. Was the Muslim Brotherhood assisting? Only Brother Obozo knows that answer.

They’ve got to sneak that movie into every story. What a bunch of oily, Democrat shills. CNN stands for the Carnival News Network. “Yessiree folks! See her shake! See her shimmy! It’s Hillary.....the queen of Libya!”

Was the information relayed to Obama’s iPad? (The secure one Carney talked about.)

What was the time frame of Hillary’s notification?

These people are beyond inept, they are dangerous. Demand more from your guys Democrats!

These people “governing” our lives today are idiots. Commonsense tells any breathing person you don’t put your people, your assets into a volatile environment without the best available security you can provide to ensure the continued safety of them, and the assets.

There would have been an evacuation if warned.

DNC op.

The press has bumped Obama since the attacks.
