U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who died with three other Americans in last year’s attack in Benghazi, Libya, turned down offers of additional security from military personnel on two occasions, according to a report released late Tuesday from McClatchy newspapers.
The report cites two anonymous government officials who said “the senior U.S. military official in the region” twice approached Stevens with the offer, and Stevens twice declined. The report does not say why Stevens would have declined the offer.

a new liberal talking point

first it was the pubs fault for not funding the extra security

now it is the ambassador's fault

get your talking points straight loony liberals

I don't see a conflict. Stevens did turn down security and cons voted against funding security.

 

[Yurt]

didn't see it on CNN either

are you going to whine about that hazle?

 

[Cowman]

Probably just human nature.

"You need a hand with that?"

"Nah, I got it. Thanks though."

Probably thought things were going just fine, under control, didn't really anticipate what happened.

the conflict is simple...if this story is true, liberals lied that pubs turning down funding is why there was not more security as apparently more security was offered and he turned it down.

you guys just screwed up your talking points.

I saw it on MSNBC.

Why did he send numerous requests to the State Dept requesting security if he didn't think he needed more security?

This really is a new low. Stevens is dead and cannot speak for himself. So the liberal spin machine is abusing his reputation.

 

[blackhawk]

Lets see if we can get the two anonymous government officials to testify under oath on this.

Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) called the revelation “odd.”

“That is odd to me because Stevens requested from the State Department additional security four times, and there was an 18-person special forces security team headed by Lt. Col. Wood that Gen. Ham signed off on that the State Department said no to,” he told McClatchy.

“The records are very clear that people on the ground in Libya made numerous requests for additional security that were either denied or only partially granted,” Graham said.

Ambassador Stevens Begged for Help from the State Department: "Security Spiraling Out of Control!"

The question isn't why did Stevens turn down more security. It's why is this regime lying about Stevens begging for more security.

Number #1 it's a cheap distortion of fact by the desperate left and #2 the ambassador doesn't get the option to deny additional security even if he wanted to and God knows why he would want to. Hillary's shrieking "what difference does it make" will tell you everything you want to know about the incoherent mess the State Dept had become under the Hussein administration and democrat congressman Cummings's incredible callus statement at the Benghazi hearings that "death is a part of life" will tell you everything about the incoherent mess that the democrat party has become.

Wait. How is that possible when there were no funds for Embassy security?

Can you pick a lie and stick with it for longer that 15 seconds?

Thats the downside of losing your media monopoly

First hazlnut, don't believe everything you want to hear, educate yourself. You know how to use the internet, well the documents are there for you to see, links have been posted here even. So, unless you are just on a disinformation campaign and want to look like a nut, might want to think twice before jumping. It can be a long falllllllll.

American diplomats in Libya made repeated requests for increased security for the consulate in Benghazi and were turned down by officials in Washington, leaders of a House committee said Tuesday.

House committee: Requests for security in Libya denied

 

[Little-Acorn]

Ambassador Stevens complained many times about inadequate security in the Benghazi consulate.

Cables signed with his own name (unlike your vague statements from anonymous officials) fill the Congressional papers that are now under examination.

Better find someone else to blame, liberals.
