The Libyan security forces have been a known problem for over a year, and one of their former members tossed grenades over the consulate fence a few months back.

The FBI has not been to Libya yet, as far as I know, and CNN was able to waltz in and make off with the ambassador's diary, four days after the 9/11 attack.
The FBI was there last week.

This is yet ANOTHER failure by our government. What the hell was left there to investigate or gather after 3 to 4 weeks?

Benghazi is like Las Vegas - it is apparently an "open city" - any family can operate there.

One can only hope that as a mere Consulate, there weren't any top-secret files laying around there for those 3-4 weeks.

Those files get more security then our ambassador and embassy staff.

This administration has its priorities messed up.

Was the Ambassador there to meet with Ben Ghazi? Was this when he requested more security? Perhaps the the Ghazi's were still allied with the former government?

I mean, can the administration expect them to stay silent and suck it up (for four more years???) or silence all of them?
Reports are saying they request help and was turned away while Jarrett gets full protection

Ambassador Rice who went on 5 Sunday News programs and lied is now blaming the Intelligence Community.

They aren't happy about being Obama's scapegoat and are now fighting back!

The sad thing is that if this clown is re-elected, he will go back to blowing off intelligence briefings and not meeting with his jobs council. He has resumed these "troublesome inconveniences" for the time being just for the election. One must, after all, make time for "Letterman" and "The View".
It will be even worse because he will not be doing things to be re elected
