Obama Admin Denied Request For Extra Security For U.S. Embassy Staff In Libya Prior To Attack

By Susan Duclos

The level incompetence by the Obama administration and outright disregard for the lives of the U.S. embassy staff in Libya leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed the U.S. Ambassador and three others, is starting to become known as House investigators start gathering information.

House investigators warned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to expect a hearing into their finding that that American staff at the U.S. Embassy in Libya had their request for additional security denied by Washington officials.

“Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and subcommittee chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, wrote Clinton today. They dismissed out-of-hand the suggestion that the attack ever could have been regarded as a spontaneous protest gone awry.

“In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi,” Issa and Chaffetz added (my emphasis). “The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.”

From before the attack, to Obama's response on the night of the attack to the changing stroies after the attack, the Obama administration has failed, lied and proven just how over his head and weak, Obama is.

[Update] No surprise that when Obama's press secretary Jay Carney was asked about the requests for additional security by  the U.S. mission in Libya that were denied by Washington, he had no comment. (Source- ABC News)
