I heard an interview on BBC radio, with the Libyan deputy ambassador to the UK, and he said that the Libyan Security Force, assigned to the consulate, was not trained nor armed properly to provide the level of security needed. He also said, that the attack on the consulate was way over the defense force's capabilities, and they just fled the scene because they were in way over their heads. 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.
Are you aware that it took them nearly 3 to 4 weeks to get there and they spent what, 12 hours there? Are you also aware that journalists were there way before them?
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.
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?
If O sees a second term and the truth comes out - which I highly doubt the whole truth will ever surface - and it is proven O was part of a cover up he should be impeached. If Hillary ignored requests for additional security and O was aware of it and agreed not to provide additional security then she should be held accountable. People/agencies answering to O are getting sick of being scapegoats for his mistakes and those of his administration and will start talking. 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

Amazing. I'll bet they didn't tell Obama to provide extra secuirty for Jarret in the intelligence meetings he missed!
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
