Diplomats asked repeatedly for more security before Libya attack, lawmakers claim

I take it back. Obama did NOT let this 3:00AM call just go to voice-mail... he had the caller blocked.

Diplomats asked repeatedly for more security before Libya attack, lawmakers claim | Fox News

U.S. diplomats in Libya repeatedly asked the Obama administration for more security in Benghazi in the run-up to the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate but were "denied these resources," two congressional lawmakers said.

"Based on information provided to the committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador's life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012," they wrote. "In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington."

Fox News reported on Friday that the physical security was so substandard at the Benghazi consulate that it required a waiver, signed off in Washington by the secretary of state, the head of diplomatic security, or the heads of foreign building operations.

Between this and the Fast and Furious scandal... any other president would be impeached.


I am stunned at the sheer stupidity that the left is displaying over this.

Wonder how the families of the brave military men and our embassador feels about this.
