Yes, the ambassador was begging for help for the previous month or two. Hilary must've been under sniper fire or something and couldn't get to it

Agreed. We were in Iraq 04-05, second rotation. Afghanistan in 12. Get our troops out of there. Let them kill each other. It's tribal. We should have our troops home protecting our country. We cannot and should not try to police the world. It hasn't helped since World War II, it damn sure isn't working now.

AGREED AGREED AGREED!!!! Attend to things important to Americans. Send the "refugees" home to help the ME

The hell it hasn’t helped, we haven’t had a World War three.

Trump sent troops, with more on the way, and the Iran backed protestors found it prudent to leave. Isn't it a shame Obama was so indecisive and because of it Americans died?

How many times did the Ambassador plead for more security and help was available in time but never dispatched! Remind me who the general was that got fired by social media because he said he could get help to Stevens in time?

Sorry, Kevyn. That story has been debunked. Also he called on the Iraqi government to do their job and protect the embassy. He also move US forces to secure the embassy.

You obviously don't ready the news...all of the protesters (who most likely were being paid by Soros) ran tail tucked between their legs when they heard our President was doing this:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Dec 31, 2019, 4:19 PM

"The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is, & has been for hours, SAFE! Many of our great Warfighters, together with the most lethal military equipment in the world, was immediately rushed to the site. Thank you to the President & Prime Minister of Iraq for their rapid response upon request....

....Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!"

They ran because they know Trump does not make hollow threats like his predecessor did.

So, now you're all in for keeping that Muslim shithole from destroying itself. Back in ought three, you leftists freaked out big time when Dubya went after Saddam.

What, exactly, would you like to see America do with that mess in Iraq? Shall we get the hell out? Or should we ramp up some killers from our incredibly over-stretched military and send them in there to clean house?

Horse Crap!!! A US Quick Reactionary Force was preparing to depart for Benghazi and would have been there in time to repel the attackers but the Obama administration ordered the force to Stand Down. Say what you will about Trump, he loves our country and will defend it against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. GBA.

One the security force members was using a laser designater. He knew that its use would give away his position, therefore, he knew enough not to deploy it until there was ordinance on site. To me it shows help was there and told to stand down leaving our ambassador and the security team to die.
