Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate Benghazi leaves 4 dead, inc. U.S. Ambassador[W:939]

Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

weak because all Obama does is to apologize to the Muslim world for all the West is and does.

This false talking point is starting to seem like the end of Romney's run for President. Americans are looking at him in disgust. This was a test and he failed, appealing to the ugliest Americans.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

But a U.S. counterterrorism official said the Benghazi violence was "too coordinated or professional" to be spontaneous. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly.

The FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya, a law enforcement official said

About 50 protesters burned American flags outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia's capital Wednesday but were kept away from the building by reinforced security. And in Gaza City, dozens of protesters carrying swords, axes and black flags chanted "Shame on everyone who insults the prophet." The rally was organized by supporters of a militant group aligned with the ruling Hamas movement.....snip~

I disagree about sending the FBI in to investigate. First off the FBI don't know shiznit about libya. Second not their Jurisdiction. Nor their field of Expertise!

Who failed?
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

How does that impact on this specific isolated situation?


It's all Obama's fault he is the one pushing and supporting for democracy in parts of the world who don't even know the name or meaning of the word democracy!
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

It was a criminal act that resulted in deaths

The Iraqi invasion has resulted in 1.42 million civilain deaths and the theft of their energy resources.

And lets keep in mind that those deaths were caused by Muslims murdering other Muslims. They are third world people with fourth world thinking..

I don't think so. Who are the Americans looking at him in disgust? I'm not.

I do want to know, though, why our President is not as freaking outraged by all of this as I am.

US embassies have been attack 24 times since 1964. Obama was born in 1961. I am not defending him. The US should have implemented better security measures knowing 9/11 was at hand

There also were indications that two distinct attacks took place — one on the consulate, then a second hours later early Wednesday on a nearby house to which the staff had been evacuated.

The crowd of several thousand that descended on the consulate was armed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, said Wanis el-Sharef, the deputy interior minister of Libya's eastern region

Thats Tunisa they are outside our Embassy, Egypt they clashing outside our Embassy. Plus why everything was being reported in the News they went after a House near the Libyan Embassy. Must be trying to capture the rest of our people.

He sent the Marines Mya....:roll:

50 marines into a country that was the number one supplier of suicide bombers into Iraq during the war there. Did we learn anything in Mogadishu?

too little too late because ambassador Stevens is dead

I don't know how you can blame President Obama for what happened to Stevens, he couldn't have prevented it unless we had boots-on-the-ground beforehand.

that is an incorrect statement and reflects not only your ignorance of the matter but also your inbuilt level of racism and bigotry

The question must then be asked "why would your opinion be taken seriously"?

(I recall there were similar racist imperialist rants over Vietnam, Korea, Cuba China etc etc etc etc...............

Obama says he failed and obama's media says he failed so he failed.

It wasn't clear to me whether the person I quoted was referring to Obama or Romney.

maybe the USA should now nuke anyone who even resemlbles the attackers?

I suppose the US did invade Iraq and lied about WMDs and Saddam links to 9/11, so why not attack Indonesia for example as retaliation to the Lybian embassy attacks?

And then the US can perhaps set up a 15,000+ personell, 600 building emabssy in Jarkata just like they did in Bagdad?

What are you going to do now?

Well, you can't blame him. He didn't even know what was happening when he went to bed. Sadly, when I went to bed, I think I knew more than the President did. Christopher Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, killed in Benghazi - latimes.com

Oh geesh, only a matter of time before the great racism card was played I guess. :roll: Look buddy, this thread is not about the Iraq war. Go down to the archives and satisfy your morbid fascination with that subject and quit your incessant whining.

Edit: this post was meant for the clown. Sorry about that.

I don't understand you, Klown. You seem hellbent on dragging Iraq and our invasion of it into this conversation when it doesn't pertain to the topic at hand. I'm not encouraging boots on the ground, or more wars/interventions, I was telling Mya that it's not the President's fault that Stevens is dead.

Why do you think the USA is the most despised nation on the planet?

At least Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush retaliated when American embassies were attacked on their watch.

Stevens was appointed by the president. Why was he not better protected? Was it because president Obama did not want boots on the ground. Maybe he was appeasing the Libians. I don't know and frankley I do not understand why Stevens was in the second largest city of a post revolution country without proper protection.

From what I've read, the protocols were followed. How was the safe-house location discovered?
