More on just how shameful the Benghazi debacle was

Yesterday's report had much to say about the security situation on the ground - or, rather, lack thereof:

By all accounts, the security conditions at the State Department's consular facility in Libya were "deplorable," as the House Benghazi committee's final summary report described it. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been warned a month before the attack that violence was "on an upward trend" and "unpredictable;" "lawlessness was increasing," and local militia groups that were providing security in many areas were at the same time "undercutting it in others."
One of those local militia groups just happened to be in charge of providing interior armed security at the Benghazi Mission compound: the February 17 Martyrs Brigade militia.
Yes, we entrusted armed Islamic strongmen -- linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, supportive of al-Qaida, and financed by the Libyan defense ministry -- to guard our diplomats. No, this is not an Onion parody.
Instead of serving as a "quick reaction force" as they were contracted to do, the Muslim militiamen fled. (What's Arabic for "cut and run force"?) Two days before Ambassador Chris Stevens was scheduled to arrive in Benghazi, the "martyrs" informed State's Diplomatic Security Agents that they would no long provide off-compound security during transport or meetings off-site. "The meeting underscored that the militias in Benghazi controlled what little security environment existed there," the House Benghazi final report noted.
Eventually, these clowns will get us all murdered in our beds.

  1. But we already knew that, didn't we? Hasn't security a everywhere been tightened since? Shit, bad bad, continual shit happens with this terrorist evil. You are playing right into their plan to divide us, and the world. They'd love nothing better than World War III.

  2. There is no unity to be had with the likes of Hillionaire, Global-Test, the Most Equal Comrade, Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, Wendy Sherman, and whoever the clown is that cooked up the diversity training programs for our intelligence agencies, per the next post up.
    Me, I want to see this nation restored as the United States of America, a nation deeply interested in its own self-preservation. The above-mention Freedom-Haters have no such desire. In fact, quite the opposite.
