What I don't understand, why wasn't there an infantry platoon there or some very well armed Marines. I know it's a consulate and not an embassy but we shoudl know that in some countries we need a stronger force. American consulate in Canada should have 4 security guards, not in the middle of a war zone. Even looking at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, it looks like it'd take one hell of an effort to get through that bitch.
I think to sum it up.
- We want to support the thugs we put into power
- to do this we'll staff this place with 2 guys armed with sling shots and paintballs to prove that the people of Libya are peaceful people.
- Oh shit, shit went to shit, look at Big Bird!
