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.

If the government was aware, why wouldn't they have evacuated the Americans?

I supported their actions. I do not know where all this conservative fundamentalism is coming from. Read all my posts and then come back and we will discuss this.

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.

They would've been the first target. I believe you would have seen even more deaths if there were boots on the ground, the fundamentalists would've targeted them, as well.

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.

It does seem odd, doesn't it? We shouldn't have relations until a country has stabilized itself.

Where do you get your information? There are always people trying to get into the USA!

And as to WWII, are you making the claim that this hatred of which you speak is the result of saving Europe and the world from Nazism and Fascism??
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

The Occupy movement really sucks. Occupy Benghazi and Occupy Cairo were especially bad. Has anyone checked with Soros? Has anyone checked with their supporters in the Democratic Party?

It is all just fun and games until somebody gets murdered.

It seems like you took the bait hook line and sinker - lol

Socialism is not the opposite of Capitalism.
Capitalism isnt even a political system - its an economic model

Obviously you haven opened your eyes and looked around you

More delusions.

Ask the Germans why they lost WW2 - it wasnt due to the USA entering the war (again very late)

I see here, that the Soviets lost 23 million people in WW2

The USa has lost approximately 1.2 million defense personell in ALL of the wars it has participated in

Why are you so concerned about Fascism? You live in a fascist Corpocracy

Let's not let the klown take us off the topic. He seems hell bent on changing the subject.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

Anyhow, I wonder why our government wouldn't evacuate all the Americans? That would make sense to me, if they were aware there could probably be an attack. Better safe than sorry, right?

Thats the problem in a nut shell

You wish to isolate minor crimes perpetrated against the USA and trivialise or ignore the major atrocities carried by the USA all over the world

Until you look at the entire picture as a whole and look at reasons for this violence, it will continue and only get worse

good luck

Yes, we should pull all of our people out of those hostile countries, and cut off any kind of United States funding.

He's a Brit.

Not a knock on Brits generally but this sort of lower class ignorance is not all that uncommon over there.

See? Now there's something I didn't think of, but then what do we care? Let them be China's problem and let them hate China. I've heard that we get most of our oil from South America anyway.

China is everywhere. I'm in small town Costa Rica and they even have their own TV Channel here.

But while that's going on and Islamic terrorism continues to percolate, the main issue among many in the US is Mitt Romney's tax returns.

I can't see them ever attacking the Chinese or Russian Embassies. There's be dead Muslims stacked everywhere.

And most US oil comes from your friendly neighbor to the north. That figure may change though since the US President denied the Keystone Pipeline.

If a "hostile country" is one in which innocent people are targeted for violent attacks, then we have no place to go, not even home.

I think it's funny how some people think that if we "backed off" then suddenly everyone will just roll over and play nice. I don't believe that for one minute. And he's a Brit, and the British and the French both played HUGE roles in the formation of Israel in the Middle East. I never hear them complain about that though. Just America. :roll:

And you know this how ?

Had Obama:

1) Attended all his Intelligence briefings (he had missed over half, where Bush missed virtually none), would that have changed the tone, effort, and results ?

2) Not kissed Muslim ass all over such that they saw him as a weak horse, would they have still tried ?

3) Not thrown Israel under the bus, further emboldening the jihadists, would they have attempted this ?

4) Not taken out Qaddaffi, who Europe and the US were at complete peace with, and replaced him with Al Qaeda Libya (who killed the Ambassador) and the Muslim Brotherhood, does this happen ?

Now, if your argument is that the usual Obama would not have prevented this in the last few days, then I agree. But we did not get in this mess overnight. And Obama did build this mess !
