As the article points out, these offers came from the military. This is far outside the usual way security is arranged for consulates and embassies, where it is normallly arranged by the State department.
Being the career diplomat he was, Stevens turned down the unusual offers and kept sending cable after cable to the State Department, begging for reinforcements and security personnel. His trust in the State Dept. cost him his life, and the lives of three other Americans.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good lie, sallow.
Oh boy.
There really is no getting through to you guys.
This person apparently has no reply to well-presented and documented facts, other than to hurl vague denials, or to throw up his hands and run away.
Sallow is missing an H.
What "well presented" facts?
Here are the facts.
A consulate in a very dangerous country was attacked by militants.
By the way..that's been happening for several decades, including during the Bush administration when many Americans, including David Foy, were killed.
No peep from you peeps about that.
Here's another newsflash.
The Largest and Most important city in the United States was attacked by foreign terrorists on Bush's watch. This was the biggest terrorist attack in history..and killed over 3000 Americans. This happened despite the BILLIONS we spend in defending our homeland.
No elected official blamed that on Bush.
It took over a year to investigate.
The conclusions shared blamed with Clinton.
And the remedy, which included no punitive actions against the Bush administration, were enacted in a bi-partisan fashion.
With Benghazi?
The opposition candidate, in an unprecedented and historical fashion, put the blame on Obama. DURING THE ATTACK.
Multiple elected Republicans were floating theories that Obama had some hand in the attack.
Investigations were immediately held..and before the findings were fully analyzed, Issa said Obama was "covering up" and had a hand in the talking points.
All that is completely despicable..and should bar conservatives from participating in the government..since they are so focused on destroying it.
Hopefully the electorate purges the nuts in 2014.
