One fact that has been lost in all of the shuffle and spin is that our Consulate was totally undefended on 9/11/2012. One... one... ONE Designated Security Officer was assigned to be on site. Contrary to the insistence of Hillary Clinton and the White House, the Consulate was not being defended by Navy Seals! The two Navy Seals killed in the attack were actually former Navy Seals working as civilians on other assignments; they were away from the scene and, upon learning what was going on, rushed to the defense...
The Ambassador, Chris Stevens, is said to have been upset with State about the lack of security and concerned that Al Qaeda was out to get him. Nevertheless, there was one...one... ONE security person assigned.
Now, just WHO is to blame for that?
