Looks like our valiant State Dept is closing up shop all across the Arab world. The evening TV news shows embassy closings from Morocco to Bangla Desh. And "closing" is accomplishing what?
I mean the embassy buildings are still standing. The ambassador and his staff are still in residence. The code room still has the codes. Classified documents are piled to the ceilings. A Benghazi style raid works whether the place is open or closed.
Or are we talking about evacuating personnel, equipment, classified and codes back to the US? Which is about the same as breaking off diplomatic relations.
To say nothing about the wimpy look it gives the US of A.
