State Dept. Admits Only ONE Security Member Was Guarding Amb. Stevens

Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Programs Charlene Lamb testified at the House Oversight Committee Hearing today that only one security guard was with Ambassador Chris Stevens at the time of the attack on 9-11. The security guard fled the smoke-filled building through a window and left the ambassador inside the building.

  • Another Obama failure literally buried by our media. If the media reported on 1/8 of the Obama Clown Car follies, he'd lose this election by 40% of the vote and wouldn't win one single state.

  • An embassy in a country in the middle of a civil war should have been guarded by marines.

    This just shows you how inept the Obama regime is.

    • @detroit_doc Its being reported that a 16 member Special Forces security team and a 6 person Mobile Security team were pulled out a month before the attack, despite 10+ attacks occurring in the month prior.

    • @detroit_doc Most embassies and consulates are guarded by Marines. The RSOs (State Department security officials) often advise the ambassadors to increase security, but they decline because they don't want to offend the host nation.

    • @NightCrawler Most embassies yes, I would agree but not in Libya and especially what has come out now. We're not even talking embassy here now, remember that. Benghazi on Sept 11, was not the time, nor place for a light foot print... The hearings and other things are bringing that fact to light. They were WARNED this was coming!!

    • @landsolo 1 week prior to sadaam invading kuwait, a US SEAL team was pulled out of kuwait.

      this administration knew full well these people did not belong there, and didn't care.

    • @Amusing They care, just not about peoples lives. They needed something to go down so we can point our guns at Libya would be my guess.

  • Good post.

    This debacle really does serve to highlight the level of absolute governmental malpractice occuring in the State Department under President Obama.

    • @wharris The State Department contains some of the smartest and most hard-working people in the government.

      The division that is in charge of guarding embassies and consulates is filled with security experts. These RSOs, Regional Security Officers, are in charge of maintaining safety in and around the embassy and of its personell.

      Often times they tell the higher ups that more security is needed, and the government either ignores their requests or the ambassadors deny their input because it More..

      "The State Department contains some of the smartest and most hard-working people in the government. "

      I have no doubt that what you say is correct.
      I just wish they did not have morons at the top.

  • This administration is responsible for the loss of four American lives and told outrageous stories in order to cover it up. That's disgusting. They have some nerve asking us for another four years. Please stop, just stop.

    • @LickMyDuck Today, 10-10-12, we learned that the Obama administration has put troops on the ground in Jordan, less than 20 miles from Syria. No debate, no discussion, no advance notice to the American people at all.
      As you say, "the worst is still to come."
      I hope the bad feeling I get about this is wrong.

  • They always lie. It was a villa not an embassy. There is no embassy in that city. The ambassador's face looks bright red not the same color as the rest of his body. Smoke inhalation?

  • Of course the fact that the attack occurred on the anniversary date of the WTC attack was not considered. I would think that every 9/11 date would require trebling of security measures around the world.

  • First we were told Stevens had fallen into the hands of the attackers and was tortured and raped. He probably was set up to be killed, sent to Benghazi so he would not have the embassy security, easier to attack.
