Evidently this has never happened before. That may be true, but it was only recently that two high level ambassadors were killed inside a supposedly secure location.

If we are putting our kids in that situation then Mr. Panetta, upon exiting his plane, should be issued an M-16, A helmet and some ammo and take his chances with the rest of the boys. -----signature----- "The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it."

Yes, the more rational understand that while this is an unusual step to take diplomatically, it is needed with the situation sliding so poorly. RWNs want to argle that this is a bigger deal than it is, which is false. LWNs want to argle that it isn't Obama's doing, which is also false. -----signature----- The Nanny State cometh Currency should be bacon cheeseburgers and blow jobs... - Reese Life at the Outpost: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1771556
