There is a war on, it's ugly, sometimes we will take some losses, sometimes the state department will not comment on shit and keep information at a minimum. The national review needs to man up and realize that there is a war on.
What? Totally did not get that. If there's a war on, where are the dang Marines? Because if I'm going into a war zone, I want guys from the pointy end of the stick around me, not some local with a wandering eye and itchy underwear. Security. Debacle. -XC
Well we can't build a fortress everywhere we go. I understand that many of you are getting hysterical cause we lost a few diplomats, but there has been a fair amount of thought that has gone into security vs accessibility at consulates. The perfect security model is what brought us the TSA and diplomats that never see the country like in the green zone. Get over the stubbed toe. Read some history of diplomacy in the middle east, these things happen, it's part of the cost of getting involved there, acting like the sky is falling when some people get caught out in the cold just shows a total lack of appreciation of conditions on the ground or partisan point scoring. But hey I get it, you have some partisan ax to grind, the Holder post showed as much. Get as many shots in the net while you can.
