Quit Benghazi advice is overreaction
2013-01-25
[Libya Herald] The Undersecretary at the Ministry of the Interior, Abdullah Mansour Zwai has condemned the call by Western embassies for their nationals to evacuate Benghazi as "an over-reaction".

Mansour insisted that the security problems in the city did not warrant this response. He also said that the Libyan Foreign Office had not been told formally by the British government of the change in travel advice issued today.

The British embassy told Libya Herald this evening: "We don't feel it is an over-reaction. The safety and security of British nationals is our priority." As yet the British government had not received any official reaction from the Libyan government.

#6  I listened to Hillary in the Senate hearing today. The Donks fell all over themselves praising her as the greatest SOS in history. She was then asked softball questions. And then she prattled on about nothing.

#2  Quit Benghazi? That's another way of trying to say the situation is untenable. It isn't. It wasn't. Hillary, Panetta and BO effed up. Big time bad.

#1  other carriers, including Turkish Air, Qatar, Jordan and Egyptair continue to fly into Benghazi on their normal schedules.

Yeah, but can you get a drink on those flights?
