un-flipping-believable
For the TL;DR crowd... The actual hit squad that killed Americans rented the building right next door to the consulate three weeks before the attack, and we knew it |

The article goes on to say that our guys requested, but were denied, a belt-fed and sandbags. The higher-ups didn't want upset the indigenous population.
This really pisses me off. I'm going to stop now while I'm ahead |

According to one intelligence source, American security personnel specifically asked for an M240 machine gun to mount on the roof at the consulate for added protection, but were turned down repeatedly.
A State Department source also confirmed to Fox News that “they asked for a belt-fed mounted machine gun, but were specifically denied by the State Department because they said it would upset the locals.” Should be featured prominently in 2016 presidential campaign ads. |

My response would have been "yeah, well ok, fuck you" followed by my purchasing a few "locally sourced" beltfeds. |

Is the owe-bunghole administration still insisting this was all about the video? Or have they given up on that LIE yet?

Fuck me running.
Should have pooled their money and purchased some local PKMs and sandbags on the street for a couple grand. |

Our government has been incompetent for years . This is just the latest example

If any of you have ever work with DoS you would understand this the typical attitude they bring to the table; it is what you get when you hire a bunch of really smart people from Ivy League schools who have a rose colored glasses view of how things work, want to travel the world but want no real responsibility

View Quote They'll turn around and claim it again, after all those snide remarks about having to carry a rocket propelled grenade launcher in their back pockets they now got proof that they didn't have to, they just had to step next door to get it out of the armory. |

Every now and then I get the feeling someone in DC wanted that guy dead.

A belt fed mg in that city wouldn't get a second look. Bottom line is that liberals are pussies and eventually, they are going to get us all killed.

Damn I can't seem to find my surprised face, or my shocked one.

Fuck a 240. Those guys should have had multiple miniguns and walls of ammo cans. And air support. And evac. And a sizeable QRF. And an administration that gave a shit.

So don't make your fucking '240 visible for Crissakes!! Seriously, if that's what you're worried about, push it back from the edge and put a fucking blanket over the damn thing so tender, Libyan civvies don't get butt-hurt about it. http://oi60.tinypic.com/2ll259l.jpg View Quote I think they should have made it look like they were armed to the teeth, even if they had to paint cardboard boxes to look like ammo cans and paint broomsticks to look like muzzles. With the mortars coming in, a fixed position seems like a loosing proposition no matter how heavily armed without air support. |

Compared to what we knew before 9/11 and the Boston bombing that's nothing.

They have proven how important our ambassadors are to them. Your life wouldn't be worth a bucket of warm shit to these people. Hell I didn't even like Christopher Stevens. He was gay and a Democrat. Two groups I am not overly fond of. But given that, he was our man in Libya, and I would be willing to rain down death, destruction, and hurt feelings on the scumbags who killed him. |

all the available machine guns were being sent to the cartels in Mexico.

I'm tired of all this PC "feel good" politics. It's only the appearance of "feel good", when they want it to be. A lot of these politicians would give the order to have you shot and bulldozed into a hole in a heartbeat if they thought they could get away with it and profit from it. |

Must have been a hell of a thing to be left out to slooowly dry and be able to see your ultimate demise..
