You're speculating. Had you just done some research instead of blindly speculating based on your "expertise," you'd have found this:

“You will note that there were a number of incidents that targeted diplomatic missions and underscored the GoL’s (government of Libya) inability to secure and protect diplomatic missions,” the email stated.

“This was a significant part of (the diplomatic) post’s and my argument for maintaining continued DS (diplomatic security) and DOD (Department of Defense) security assets in

His reasons for the request are public, and they don't reference a specific upcoming attack, just a general danger.

Now what do you think the rest of those emails said? Care to find that or do you think your the only one that has seen what they deemed was safe to release? Yup that would be my "expertise" your refering to pointing that out.

You have nothing but speculation. Let's not go around in circles.

You have a lack of understanding and this has been going in circles for about 2 dozen pages.

Who was the first to report that the attack was not a protest that turned into an attack, and that there was in fact no protest? Fox News. Suck it, Trebec.

the first person to report on bin ladens death was some guy on twitter who was having trouble sleeping because of all the noise going outside his house.

"For the past two years, House Republicans have continued to deprioritize the security forces protecting State Department personnel around the world. In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration's request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 -- cutting back on the department's request by $331 million."

Jason Chaffetz Admits House GOP Cut Funding For Embassy Security: 'You Have To Prioritize Things'

The Obama administration requested funds for security, the GOP said no, therefore it's Obama's fault the embassies and consulates didn't have enough security. Makes sense.

Why doesn't the GOP care enough about security for Americans to provide adequate funding?

Why did Obama and every other politician not just hand the job to the Marines or Army? They're already making a check and unaffected by the cuts made. It does make me wonder who voted to take the job away from the military is some places to put private security in instead. Piss poor move by all of them.

Can we just agree that this wasn't solely Obama's fault, then, like some people on here are making it out to be? If you weren't provided the resources needed for security, it's hard to provide adequate security.

And I'll completely agree with you that the military should be the one's handling things like official government security. This move towards private contractors that started under Bush and continued under Obama is deeply troubling to me.

Its as much all Obamas fault as the wars were all Bush's fault. It takes more then 1 person in government to make any decision.
