"When the mission’s regional safety officer expressed an interest in July 2012 asking State Department official to permit the military security team to continue to protect the mission, Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary in charge of diplomatic security, sent an e-mail that responded: “NO, I do not [I repeat] not want them to ask for the [military security] team to stay!”

    If this is half (or even a fourth??) true, this bunch of morons is making things just a little bit (or a lot) more scary. Best case scenario is that they are just in over their heads and are not minding the store because they are simply incompetent for the positions they are in.

    Worst case scenario is, well, even worse than worst. While many of them are, in my view, largely incompetent, they cannot possibly ALL be so dumb that no one anywhere in the Administration did not know all this stuff, which means that these Al-Qaeda affiliates/sympathizers, and thereby potential if not actual jihadists themselves, were actually knowingly hired as Al-Qaeda affiliates/sympathizers .
    What some call speculation, others call deduction. If in fact we gave taxpayer funds to this group, anyone wanna bet me that none of that money found its way into Al-Qaeda and/or other terrorist organization(s)??

    It is not difficult to conclude that this is the latest known prime example of radical left-wing liberalism run amok. It could even possibly be said by a suspicious (Siarlys would say paranoid) person that it is a reflection of an Adminstration position, possibly/probably from the top down (although Obama Himself appears to be so aloof and work-averse that he might have been out of the loop as he often appears to be), of a bunch of radical Islam sympathizers themselves. I surely hope that is not the case, but I am beginning to wonder more and more

  2. But firing Charlene Lamb wouldn't satisfy the hyenas howling about this issue, would it? It couldn't be that an under secretary with poor judgment sat on a request from a subordinate, could it? That just wouldn't be the scandal we are looking for, would it?
