In nearby Libya, the terror manhunt is on for the killers of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.  While the FBI is telling us the investigation has begun, we are still waiting for a hard confirm that the agents are on the ground.  They’ll be heading for Benghazi, a dangerous place.

Already in Libya: the Rapid Response Team of Marines – some 50 Marines; off the coast, two U.S. Navy destroyers; overhead, surveillance drones.

    This event is so unfortunate committed by people of with no conscience, dignity and value for value of human. It is also unfortunate that the current administration was derelict in its duty in protecting its diplomats and trying to cover up the State Department's negligence in providing such protection on such a volatile day for the Middle East as 9/11. What was so different on this anniversary for our guard to be absent.
