[QUOTE="candrpotts, post: 1912309, member: 8150"] Being a former Marine, I can tell you that if those embassy guards had been cleared to fire, there would still be an American ambassador in Libya. Nothing will slow a crowd of demonstrators more than a show of motivated fierce resistance. I see no evidence of a "coordinated, complex assault". Foreign intervention yes but let the MSG do their damned job! And yes they are trained and equipped to repel moderate sized armed forces. For the most part, all the ambassador had to do was "say the word" and all hell would have been brought to bear on those walls. This was sovereign US soil under attack by unknown forces with unknown intent. Standing by and letting this happen is unconscionable. [/QUOTE]
