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

The very least action Obama should be forced to take is to close down the Embassies in Libya and also in Egypt, and close those countries diplomatic offices in US as a sign of extreme disapproval, in view of the fact that both countries governments seem to tacitly approve of these terrorists actions.

But Obama being the naive apologist that he is won't do it, of course.

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.

Lets keep some perspective here ladies and gentlemen

And this is not to link the two crimes or to justify one or the other, merely to shine some perspective on the outrage of Americans at the slaughter of 4 inncoent people in a foreign embassy. The killing of innocent people is an everyday event in many nations, and the US military is responsible for those crimes. So where is the outrage?

You shouldnt be confused on this point

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, I chose to become an expert on terrorism. My life took a different path, into engineering, but I still have 45 books on my bookshelf having to do with Islam and "holy" terror. Among them is a well written book called Fighting Terrorism by the Prime Minister of Israel, B. Netanyahu. If it were possible I would want him as our President.

If Obama didn't need to show his birth certificate to be president of the US, then Netanyahu shouldn't have to show his either. We could have a Netanyahu/Lieberman ticket.

I suppose as one partisan to another I was delighted by a display of manly, pro-American leadership. And I suspect that you barely noticed the absence of the one term Marxist. Where was he heading off to? Was it a Nevada fund raiser? Fund raising is far too important to leave to underlings. But the murder of a few Americans, well, a quick apology to the Islamofascists barely slowed the flexible with our enemies president down.

Okay. We are together. Now what? We have apologized to the Islamofascists. The one term Marxist has moved on with his fund raising schedule. Now what?
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

Looks like the Protesters are going to keep it going around our Embassy in Egypt. 6 Egyptian Police hurt. It was reported both the police and the protestors were throwing rocks at each other. But the Egyptian Police and Military are stopping them.



In the meantime.....Morsi has left for Europe.

98% of a new oil exploration rights in western Iraq were given to US corporations like EXXON
You pay very little tax and royalties to the Iraqi state for these oil reserves
It is effectively a theft of resources which dont belong to the USA - but I suppose the US has to pay for its criminal war crimes some how - doesnt it?

It did not look like it to me. Watch a you tube video of him when he is blaming George Bush. Now compare it to his tepid speech announcing the killing (note he did not say murder) of four Americans. He was just going through the motions.

Thanks for your input...:roll:

This is more of what I am talking about. Libya cannot handle their own domestic issues so the US has dispatched the Marines a Rapid Response Team. I have no reason to believe the US is taking this lightly while Libya attempts to go after these murderers.

"When the Pentagon called out the Marines on Wednesday and dispatched them to Libya, it wasn’t the first wave of an invading force.

Instead, the 50 Marines are part of an elite rapid-response team and they were sent to assess and reinforce security in Libya in the aftermath of the attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador there and three other Americans. Known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or FAST, the team’s role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to bolster security at U.S. embassies. They operate worldwide, and the team that went is one of two that are based in Spain."

Marines headed to Libya to reinforce security

Too little. Too late. But they can call on some janitorial services to clean up the mess.

A movie about a magical dead man does not cause violence. What causes violence is people who are such giant, flaming ******s that they cannot handle anyone making fun of their favorite magical dead man.

This is a very complex issue! First of all the violent demonstrations carried out in Libya and then Egypt are a disgrace and the US has every right to send in soldiers to protect her interests, Islamic soicety is very different to our own and much less civillised in many respects. The death of the US ambassador is shocking and shows not only how unstable North Africa/ the middle east is but it shows the gulf that exists between Islamic countries and the West. A few months ago I was very pro-arab spring as I hoped it would bring about a change in the region and drag them into the 21st century but so far that does not seem to be the case as the hardliners seemed to have taken control of these regions. The US and her allies need to hunt down who was responsible for these attacks and bring them to justice.
However if we are to remain in these regions and deal with them on a political level we need to start understanding how different they are and that that videos like the one realeased will only cause more violence and hate towards the West so we need to come down hard on the source of such videos.

And this is an indication of the sissification of the US. I understand that in Native American lore when a male did not want to be manly any longer he could dress in squaw's clothing and do the squaw's chores. Perhaps you should leave the heavy lifting to those men not yet wearing squaw's clothing.

What about the so called US emabassy in Bagdad?

You know, the one that has 15,000 plus people working in it, mostly spies and military personell, with over 600 buildings and independent water and power supplies and high fences.

What do you think this Emabssy is used for?

Seems a little bit of an overkill for catering to US travellers that have lost their passports in Iraq dont you think?
Are you aware of what the USA represents and what enslaves you?
