The fact that FBI investigators have not yet been into Libya to investigate this incident is unsettling and a little suspicious.

Why is the FBI investigating what was essentially an act of war?

This was a failure in the intelligence community and the CIA should be handling it, no?

Embassies are US soil, thus a domestic agency has authority...

Of course, that's when they actually GET THERE...

The State Department bitches a CNN reporter can not only get there, but pick up a diary and report on it, but the FBI hasn't made their way after 19 days YET...

I would think that the crime scene has been compromised just a bit and any witnesses are long gone.

Oh absolutely!...

Every day that goes by is another day for Al Qaeda (or anyone else) to rummage through the site and grab any classified information that's just sitting there waiting to be taken...

That is the way Obama must want it. Otherwise, the weenie would have grown a pair and sent in a force of Marines to ensure the agents could access the embassy.

Either that or dropped some really serious ordinance on the site to destroy anything that might give the terrorists any intel. Pamphlet the are for a week prior and let the neighbors know that they could expect a REALLY big bang sometime in the next few days, so this might be a good week to take that pilgrimage they've been putting off.

Marines are faster. No notice need be given.

It's those RPG's that are tough to defend against once you put boots on the ground. Better to send in a MOAB or six.

I agree. Give the locals a two minute warning to evacuate.
