Re: Top CIA officer in Benghazi delayed response to terrorist attack US security team
As I noted in my post that you responded to (quoted above), I did not dispute the veracity of Steven's diary entry about security concerns, which -- in case you misunderstood -- means that I did not dispute that there could be a lack of security.
So I'm puzzled why you chose to repeat that lack-of-security point instead of addressing the counterpoint that I also noted in my post about Steven's refusing additional security. What do you think about that refusal? Since the blame game seems to be in play here by the right, wouldn't it seem that he put his own life at risk?
That's Right you didn't.....you just went with whatever was written by Stevens and thinking that explains it all and the Right is just making it seem like Team BO was totally incompetent. That they caused BO peep and his people to screw up, relax security, and then helped to cover it all up. They told Hillary to not check back on her people to see if they got alive too.....huh? They caused her to lose control of her own behavior and actions.....Right?
Because of the RSO and his request that went back to 2011. Which was before Stevens Diary pointed out the when he said he didn't need any extra security. Also note Stevens Diary didn't say anything about Security when the Embassy was in the Hotel. Why is that? What happened......Stevens can always say how much Security he needs and that's what they go with, Right? Did you want to try and fall back on that Counter?
Why is Stevens saying nothing about Security even though they weren't in an Official Facility and were working out of Public Hotel? What happened.....where is the counter? Why is the left can't figure that **** out about the Normal Precautions. Why is it they are still looking for excuses even when it is clear their people ****ed up.
Oh and you thought Stevens didn't request Security. Which was false.
Before death, Amb. Stevens warned of "violent" Libya landscape.....
In the weeks before his death, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens sent the State Department several requests for increased security for diplomats in Libya. Steven's memos to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is investigating attacks, show he personally pressed for strengthened security.
On July 9, 2012, Stevens sent a "request for extension of tour of duty (TDY) personnel." That refers to a 16-man military temporary security team with expertise in counter terrorism. They were set to leave in August, but Stevens asked to keep them "thru mid-September."
On August 2, six weeks before he died, Stevens requested "protective detail bodyguard potions," saying the added guards "will fill the vacuum of security personnel currently at post who will be leaving with the next month and will not be replaced." He called "the security condition in Libya ... unpredictable, volatile and violent." It's not known what happened to that request.....snip~

What happened? Whats going on?.....why is Stevens requesting Security that he thought he didn't need? Just why is Stevens doing so 3 times Right before the Attack? Why isn't the Left able to debunk what Stevens did that is documented?
What.....the left just can't make **** up on the fly as they go? Like they usually do.
