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.”
The ambassador wasn’t even in Cairo at the time. She was in Washington while her staffed embarrassed the United States in front of the entire world. That’s how you end up with the black flag of Islam raised in place of the American flag, on 9-11.
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.
“She
did not defend U.S. sovereign territory and betrayed her oath of
office,” the report states. “She neutered the Marines posted to defend
the embassy, trusting the Egyptians over the Marines.”
