No Live Ammo for Marines

Nobody should be surprised by this turn of events. Obama not only puts our troops in harm's way, he also takes away their ammo so they'll be sitting ducks in case of any problems.

Disgusting. We can't get this administration out of office soon enough.


REPORTS: No Live Ammo for Marines

Marine blogs say U.S. embassy did not authorize service members to carry ammo

U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”

U.S. officials have yet to confirm or comment on the reports. Time magazine’s Battleland blog reported Thursday “Senior U.S. officials late Wednesday declined to discuss in detail the security at either Cairo or Benghazi, so answers may be slow in coming.”

If true, the reports indicate that Patterson shirked her obligation to protect U.S. interests, Nightwatch states.

Another one bites the dust! She'll be replaced soon and probably the administration will seek out the marines who dared to tell the truth and throw them in the sockade. This whole administration from the top down is a boil on our collective butts.

The real enemy is at home...not in Egypt or anywhere else in the Middle East.
