isn't that a pretty clear statement?
With all due respect, I think the sentence following that one is a pretty clear statement, too. One that seems to say, regardless of the host country's rules, permissions, etc, the FSO needs to stay appraised of the situation and inform State of the matter.
And I can tell you that, in my own personal experience, it has not been a problem entering with one passport and seeking assistance at a different consulate. Even during times of war.
