In yet another thinly veiled attack on Christianity, the U.S. Embassy at the Vatican has been closed because it is too much of a security risk for our diplomats. How many terrorist attacks have occurred at the Vatican? Or is the Swiss Guard incompetent in the pResident’s analysis.

State Dept. Blames Closing of U.S. Embassy at Vatican on Benghazi–And Need of U.S. Gov’t to Save Money
The U.S. State Department is blaming its decision to close the U.S. embassy to the Vatican on the Benghazi terrorist attack, saying that the embassy is too much of a security risk for U.S. diplomats.
“Security is our top priority in making this move,” the State Department said in a statement sent to CNSNews.com by department spokesperson Nicole Thompson.
“The State Department is working to implement all of the independent Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB) recommendations, to include a renewed call for U.S. government facilities to be collocated when they are in the same metropolitan area,” said the statement.
Vatican City is not legally a part of Rome or Italy, but is a separate sovereign state.
As a secondary reason for closing the U.S. embassy at the Vatican the State Department cited the need of the U.S. government to save money.
