The Libyan embassy requested 13 times for increased security. (It was denied)

Ambassador Chris Stevens was standing outside the embassy compound saying good night to a visiting dignitary 30 minutes before the attack. (there was no protest)

There were 230 separate attacks against western assets in Libya prior to the Sept 11th murder of Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. (these early attacks were deemed insignificant and downplayed by the Obama administration.)

Obama skipped half of the National Security Briefings prior to the attack and skipped the one the day after the attack, instead, he went to Las Vegas for a campaign event.
