State Dept security chief resigns after Benghazi
WASHINGTON (AP) - Three State Department officials resigned under pressure Wednesday, less than a day after a damning report blamed management failures for a lack of security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, where militants killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans on Sept. 11.
The resignations came as lawmakers expressed anger and frustration over the findings of an independent review panel, and the State Department struggled to find a balance between protecting its diplomats while allowing them to do their jobs connecting with people in high-risk posts.
Obama administration officials said those who had stepped down were Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary responsible for embassy security, and Raymond Maxwell, the deputy assistant secretary of state who oversees the Maghreb nations of Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss personnel matters publicly.
Some of the three may have the option of being reassigned to other duties, the officials said. SOURCE
The United States of America should be ashamed.
We have a State Department that can’t, or won’t protect its diplomats while the most inept President in American history is about to try and force his anti-gun stance on ALL of America and install some sort of gun ban, assault weapons ban, a high capacity magazine ban or some combination of that list, if not ALL of that list.
The truth about Benghazi may NEVER be known. The parties that were directly involved are dead, the Obama regime has found some *fall guys* to lay the blame on and the most strange thing of all; Hillary Clinton fell, fainted, something, and hit her head, thus causing a concussion.
Am I the only one that sees the *selective amnesia* that Clinton is about to suffer?
And for what it’s worth; I am DONE with the story about the Sandy Hook shooting!
I mean DONE … I will NOT be blogging this tragic story any longer.
ONE brain damaged MORON goes totally crazy and every S.O.B. on the LEFT and many on the RIGHT jump all over the Americans, MILLIONS of Americans that are gun owners and have never fired a shot in anger.
The Progressives call for the DEATH of every American gun owner and NRA member.
That sounds a bit hypocritical but facts are facts, and hypocrisy is ALL the Dems, Libs, the LEFT, the so-called Progressives have.
Ban guns, ban high capacity magazines, God only knows what else these Progressive MOONBATS will think of, but I am past the point of giving a DAMN.
I haven’t shot a soul, my guns must be defective, they haven’t committed so much as one violent or heinous act, but they are MY guns and I intend to keep them or DIE trying.
I have em, if you BASTARDS on the LEFT want em, come get em.
That said; I am beginning to feel that some things are taking place in this nation that are being done in an effort to deliberately orchestrate a diversion from *other* matters, and for the last few days I took the bait, hook, line and sinker.
The Obama regime is up to NO GOOD. Same story, different day, that’s all they have and all they ever will have.
Never let a crisis go to waste. ~Rahm Emanuel~
That is the mantra of the Obama regime and deception is their forte!
I am NOT accusing the Obama regime of staging Sandy Hook but I am highly suspicious of the Obama regimes motives and future plans for this nation and exactly how they will attempt to tie that event into their plans to fully disarm and render the population of the USA defenseless.
Don’t take your eye OFF of the Obama regime and every move they make, the ones that we are aware of.
Ever vigilante my friends! Deo vindice.
They’re pointing fingers at what could or couldn’t have been done beforehand. I’m not seeing nothing about what took place during the attack. The six hours the White House Situation Room, CIA, and military authorities watched the attack in real time. Nothing about how the former SEAL had painted targets with a Ground Laser Designator. When a target is painted, that means the GLD is synced with an overhead weapons system with its weapons locked on the targets. Nothing about how we had military assets only about 400 miles away and how a rescue team of special forces could have been there in a couple hours. These three State Dept employees are going to take the fall for Hillary and Obama. I would bet that was part of the deal to get Bill to campaign heavily for Obama. It was well known that Bill had a disdain for the Jug-Eared Jackass so something had to “movitate” him.
The Communists at the helm of this nation want to exert complete control over “we the people” sooner rather than later. To do that they have to disarm us; as an armed populace, knowing what they have in their plans,we will soon put a stop to the illegal power grab. They are using the Newtown murders as a catylist for gun control while the iron is hot. However, we anti-Communists have more weapons then they do and they know they will lose in head to head armed conflict. Not enough of us have been brainwashed yet. Expect a deluge of executive orders and bills to weaken the 2nd Amendment and place controls on the weapons industry. Obama has to be fought tooth and nail on this. Should any of my weapons be declared illegal, I will gladly break any new law that changes those existing as of today and will have no problem helping the tree of liberty refresh itself………by force if necessary. Can see a day when Barry and his ilk will wish they were never born. Molon Labe.
Sacrifical Lambs.
Govt thinks that they can Bull Shit the people-well not all of us
And imagine:
This information will be PURPOSELY UNDER-REPORTED or UN-REPORTED — again — PURPOSELY — by the DEM/MSM.
You think this shit would be on page A-11 of the Washington Times if it were a REPUBLICAN- ??
Check that out if you think I’m lying.
Dirt. Shovels. Tamping-down. Move along.
BURIED.

I agree with your stance Fred, and I definitely stand with Minutemen. I’ve watched this very scenario build over the last 25 years, a little at a time. It started with the media in general calling any firearm that looks like a military weapon an assault weapon. This is wrong, but it goes with another socialist/communist mantra, “tell a lie long enough and people start to believe it”. We have to draw the line here- no further.
I agree with you, Fred. Enough is enough.
If I was a card-carrying conspiracy theorist, I would be thinking that yesterday’s report out of Scottsdale of a middle-school cafeteria worker reporting a long haired, dark-coat wearing man walking past the school - “and I think he might have a gun” - as being orchestrated by the left.
Never mind that it was 40 degrees in Scottsdale yesterday morning.
There are still around thirty that were rescued and sent to Germany. They refuse to give the names to Issa. Several were critically wounded. Sooner or later one of them will talk I do believe.
I agree with all that has been said so far. I also think the obaminites had a plan. Just in case they had trouble elsewhere they would have something to keep the real issues off the front pages. Yes, I believe that they are that sinister. All of them.
Resignation my ass!
Take them all outside. Horsewhip them naked. Then tar and feather them, and then slow hang them all…
Sort of reminds me of November 71 in Dak To with what happened to so many of the guys in the 173rd…
