It is SOP to have a Marine Security Guard contingent in each embassy across the world. MSG duty is a highly sought after "B" billet by the most high speed and squared away Marines that can apply and pass the school. It is beyond reason why these men were not in place to take care of the staff and ambassador. In places such as these they often do not even wear uniforms, can grow their hair to neat civilian standards, and are adorned in civilian attire at all times. Most people would not even know they are Marines.

Oh, is this the new line of attack? Blame Obama for not personally inspecting the security measures in place at every diplomatic outpost?

First off, your title is wrong, genius. The ambassador was killed at a consulate, not an embassy. There's a difference.

Is it difficult for you to wade through the blood of American patriots to slander the President of the United States, or does it come easy to you?

Asshole.

It doesn't mean people opposed to him won't try--and I expect there will be lots of spin that tries to blame Obama.

I am sure the Marines will do their own investigation to see how security failed to protect our ambassador, and make necessary changes. That's why Marines are given the task of securing our diplomatic posts--they are good and efficient at what they do. For the same reasons, they fly the President around in helicopters.
