A Ticking Time Bomb At U.S. Embassy In Kabul?

Looks like DOS hasn't learned a thing. But at this point does it matter????

Questions emerge about security policies after Benghazi

By Sara Carter, The Washington Times
"U.S. diplomatic facilities in Afghanistan have serious security lapses that pose "unnecessary risk to staff," including poor emergency preparedness and inadequate protections that might allow classified materials to fall into the hands of attacking enemies, according to an internal report that raises fresh questions about the State Department's commitment to safety in the aftermath of the Benghazi tragedy.

The confidential State Department inspector general’s report, obtained by The Washington Times under the Freedom of Information Act, directly criticizes the department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security for failing to perform a physical inspection before approving the security plan for the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, which was the target of a brash attack by Taliban insurgents two years ago.

When IG investigators inspected the embassy in Kabul, they found inadequate emergency shelters, food, water rations, medical supplies and backup communication equipment that would be essential to repel or survive an attack, according to the report, which was released to The Times partly redacted for security reasons."

       That's been covered...it's the republicans that have once again obstructed the will of the administration to upgrade the security/protective measures...Well this was one plan floated for the incompetence for Benghazi...Hasn't it been made clear that the cowh and his administration are not responsible/accountable for any negative on their watch?...The cowh will more than likely find out about this the same way the rest of the nation did...through the media...
