What the hell are they suppose to use harsh language? This regime under Emperor Zero is systematically destroying the US inside and outside its borders. He is burning every bridge that took years even decades to build. Even with nations that are questionable, those relations helped keep regions stabilized. This Arab uprising and the formation of the caliphate we are literally witnessing is all his! It is on all of us to make sure history will reflect the truth, that Barack Obama’s policies set the world in motion for disaster.

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.

While Marines are typically relied on to defend U.S. territory abroad, such as embassies, these reports indicate that the Obama administration was relying on Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to ensure American security, a move observers are questioning as violence in Cairo continues to rage.
Marc Toner, the State Department’s deputy spokesperson, did not respond to a request for comment from the Free Beacon. White House National Security Council spokesperson Tommy Vietor also did not respond to a request for comment.
The U.S. ambassador to any nation ultimately decides whether Marines are authorized to carry ammunition, according to a GOP national security adviser knowledgeable about American embassy protocols.
“In the end, the ambassador of any country has the final call on what to do in a country,†the source said. “The buck stops with you. You make every decision.†…read more
