Dead Ambassador’s Diary Revealed Concern of Islamist Threats
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, September 23, 2012, 7:58 AM
The diary belonging to Ambassador Chris Stevens revealed his concerns about the deteriorating security in Benghazi.
CNN reported:
Four days after he was killed, CNN found a journal belonging to late U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. The journal was found on the floor of the largely unsecured consulate compound where he was fatally wounded…
…A source familiar with Stevens’ thinking told CNN earlier this week that, in the months leading up to his death, the late ambassador worried about what he called the security threats in Benghazi and a rise in Islamic extremism.
Stevens died on September 11, along with three other Americans, when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi came under attack amid a large protest about a U.S.-made film that mocked the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.
Since June there had been four previous attacks on Western interests in Benghazi.
One of the attacks was an IED atack at the US Consulate on June 6, 2012.
Yet, despite this, the Obama Administration reportedly refused to provide even “standard security” at the consulate compound.

About that refusal to provide standard security at the Benghazi Consulate . . . apparently that is because security was in the hands of the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

Obama had plans for the money that security would have cost. You would think he could spare some bullets for the marines that are protecting our other embassies though from the stash he’s building up with the depts in his cabinet. There’s no telling how much money he is siphoning off the security of these embassies and other places. Well, somebody’s got to pay for tht $35 million mansion in Hawaii. Half of it anyway. I believe Penny Pritzker is paying the other half.
I see CNN is still touting the meme that the movie caused all this turmoil. There they are, sitting in the toilet and calling out to the rest of us “come on in, the waters’s fine”.
Doug Wakeman commented:
They didn’t provide security because they do not exist in the real world. They do not believe there is Islamic terrorism. They have banned the very notion. You are not allowed to think it let alone speak it. They would no sooner provide security against this threat than I would purchase insurance against a gecko infestation.

And just think, he never voiced his concerns to hillary or obama./s When those two refused him security he should have resigned immediately. I’m beginning to think everything obama does is planned down to the last detail.

i was just wondering why some good ole’ commonsense wasn’t applied by the smartest people ever. if hillary decided not to have marines is this an attempt to cover the uncoverable [her butt]
as in it wouldn’t have mattered anyway..next.

“The smartest man and woman in the world”, Obama and Clinton, are appeasers of the highest order. Neville Chamberlin at least learned his lesson, these dolts won’t ever learn. At least Clinton that is; Obama just may have a different motive for his appeasement, bowing, groveling and arse kissing.

Obama’s failed policies killed Stevens and his friends. No matter how the liberal media tries to hide the truth, it will come out. Obama failed to attend top security meetings that would have clued him on the threats facing Stevens, but Obama was too busy shooting hoops and campaigning. One thing is quite clear now, you won’t hear Obama bragging about how he got Bin Laden any time soon before the election.
dnb commented:
Four days after the attack, CNN was poking around the consulate, which was unsecured prior to the attack and obviously unsecured after the attack. It’s that like Investigation 101, secure the scene. Very odd.
Rhonda commented:
But we all will be happy to hear that Valerie “slumlord” Jarrett has a full security detail while she vacations in Martha’s Vineyard. we see who is important to these creeps in the WH, themselves.
Ann Ominous commented:
Looks like Hillary is just as adept at turning on the sympathy and waterworks expressions as ol’ barnacle Bill, the nailer.
These people don’t give a tinker’s dam about dead ambassadors or those killed while trying to protect them.
Mama Grizzly commented:
“I’m beginning to think everything obama does is planned down to the last detail.” #5
And you would be right about that.
Francesca commented:
So, do we have a moment to condem CNN for keeping the diary instead of turning it over to our investigators? Anything to promote themselves? A bit cynical on my part, but I doubt it was out of a desire to be helpful, except to CNN. Maybe I need some coffee.
Francesca commented:
#5: “A source familar with his thinking” was his dairy.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Huh? “Fatally wounded”? I seem to recall there were reports that his death was caused by smoke inhalation.
It would be nice if the Democrat Party propaganda arm would get its stories straight…

Obama Politicizes The Sacrifices Of The SEALs—Again
[The White House claims two ex-SEALs killed in Libya were inept security
guards. The truth? They volunteered for duty and died heroes. But that
doesn't serve an Obama political purpose, now does it?
[..]
“Woods and Doherty weren’t part of the detail, nor were they
personally responsible for the ambassador’s security, but they
stepped into the breach when the attacks occurred and their
actions saved the lives of others,” an unnamed U.S. official told
the Washington Guardian.
So as the consulate was pummeled with mortar fire from an
organized al-Qaida terrorist attack, the two men, with no
preparation and no ground intelligence, just plain stepped
forward without any obligation to do so, and died defending
the U.S. after the non-U.S. contractors who were paid to do
that ran away.
Such information ought to get out, because these men died
heroes. They didn’t have to be there, but they went anyway
defending against a terrorist attack that can only be compared
to the Alamo.]

Two Navy SEALS Were Protecting the Ambassador in Libya
[The stunning death of former U.S. Navy SEAL Glen Doherty in a
terrorist attack in Libya left family and friends grieving from the
West Coast to the tree-lined streets of his proud hometown of
Winchester.
“He was doing this because he felt that people should be protected
who couldn’t protect themselves — and so he was willing to put
himself in harm’s way,” said his older brother, Greg Doherty, who
lives in California. “He was fearless about everything he did in life.
He was very good at what he did.”
“I haven’t heard the details of how he died yet,” his brother said last
night, “but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was doing a lot more than
was expected of him.”
[..]
Tyrone Woods was in the elite Navy unit for 20 years and had two
teenage sons, according to U-T San Diego News. The former military
member’s ex-wife Patricia Ann So had this to say about the father
of her children:
“He was balls to the wall. He loved life, loved adrenalin. He went
through Hell Week, the grueling five-and-a-half day training course,
twice. You could not find a more skilled SEAL than him.”
The embassy victim’s former spouse was told about his death while
she was teaching first grade at Spring Valley Elementary School and
went to inform their sons that their father had died trying to protect
our country.]

Diplomat Killed in Libya Told Fellow
Gamers: Hope I ‘Don’t Die Tonight’
[On Tuesday, Sean Smith, a Foreign Service Information Management
Officer assigned to the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, typed
a message to the director of his online gaming guild: ”Assuming we
don’t die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound
taking pictures.” The consulate was under siege, and within hours, a
mob would attack, killing Smith along with three others, including the
U.S. ambassador.]

Aleks commented:
I was wondering why the Obama administration was insisting the attack was spontaneous and not preplanned. I thought to myself, why the distinction? Now I think I know…actually the Obama administration was forewarned by Ambassador Stevens of the rising security threats. In fact, he had requested adequate security to protect the embassy, which was denied by the administration. It leaves me shaking my head in amazement. I would like to know why…what would stop a government from giving adequate protection to one of its embassies, especially in a high risk region???
