Excuses, Excuses: Mistaken Sense of Security Cited Before Envoy to Libya Died
He didn’t “die,” he was murdered. “Mistaken Sense of Security Cited Before Envoy to Libya Died”
Have some respect for the vicious act of terrorism that took his life. There’s only one important phrase taken right from the NYT’s lede: “even as threat warnings grew in the weeks before the recent attack.”
Come on now, seriously. An American ambassador was murdered on, in effect, our own soil.
Everything else being offered now is no more than an insufficient excuse.
When is someone in this administration going to pay with their job. It’s not too much to ask, really. After all, Ambassador Stevens paid for their incompetence with his life, as did others, as well.
An effective response by newly trained Libyan security guards to a small bombing outside the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi in June may have led United States officials to underestimate the security threat to personnel there, according to counter-terrorism and State Department officials, even as threat warnings grew in the weeks before the recent attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

In any decent civilized country with an honorable politics, people within the State Department would have been fired right and left and both Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice would have been forced to resign.
Of course, in any decent civilized country with an honorable politics, Obama would never have been elected in the first place.
Hilary Clinton and Susan Rice should resign. President Obama should lose the election in a landslide.
Here’s a youtube of an interview of Susan Rice Remembering Ambassador Stevens at Ohio State [sounds like a football game in the background] uploaded on September 16 [Sunday], so my guess would be the video is from the day before.
