Eric Nordstrom, the State Department’s regional security officer in Libya until July, testified that he’d requested 12 security agents be stationed at the Benghazi mission, with a backup of six others trained from the Libyan governmental forces.
State Department officials, he said, discouraged that request.
"How I interpreted that was there was too much political costs to doing that,” he said.
In an Oct. 1 interview with committee members, Nordstrom also said that Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy issued a memo last December requiring five agents be assigned to Benghazi. Nordstrom said he’d requested two additional security agents to reinforce an existing three security personnel at the site, but that request also was denied.
=================================
In essence, the ObaMao administration left
Ambassador Stevens to die on the floor of the consulate in Benghazi much like Teddy left Mary Jo to die in his car...in both cases, the cover story and political expediency was more important than the lives at stake

Fact: this administration LIED and Stevens etc DIED! There was no video cause. They knew or should have know days before this occurred as to its possibility and they ignored same. Why, who knows? The MSM etc need to get off of their PC AH's, do their jobs and start demanding answered. They did so post-Watergate, but hey that was a Republican administration, right? Burn your newspapers or use them for TP!!!!!!!

Murdock helped lie his own country into invading Iraq. He peddled tin foil hat Truther theories like Iraq really had WMDs and Iraq was behind 9/11.
Anyway, he is an authority on the subject, great piece.

PS IDIOT: It really doesn't matter if it was Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan or whatever. Ever heard the words MUSLIM TERRORISTS? Hint hint, they have those in this country also!!!!!!

PSII DickWeed: They have MT in Lybia also if you haven't gotten the email yet about a place called Benghazi. Dumb Excrement!!!!!!!!!!!!
C Bowen | 10.12.12 @ 9:53PM
It was idiots like you who were easily tricked into favoring enforcing UN policy to topple Saddam and make Iraq safe for Islam and Iran.
Scoundrels like Murdock simple spun tin foil hat tales.
LOL--Oldfarte was scared of Iraq. Never realized you were a soccermom, now it all makes sense.

No fool, it was me etc whose friends and relatives were incinerated on 9/11/01 and previously within our embassies and aboard the USS Cole etc, whose friends/realtives went to war in retaliation of same and never came home, and who give an excrement about the USA [as opposed to you traitors and MB supporters]. Your last statement is descriptive of your Bidenism sadly [or should I more appropriately say your Paulism?]!!!!!!!!!
