The news of the killings and the way the body of US Ambassador Chris Stevens was dragged through the streets of Libya by blood-crazed Islamists fundamentalists yesterday is beyond shocking.

This is the reality that the present Obama administration has created in the Middle East. This is the true face of the "Arab Spring".

The Obama administration didn't create this, they inherited this mess from Bush.

actually the US government is to blame and the US government is the one ultimately responsible for this guys death. Kind of like the boarder patrol agent killed with the gun from the fast and furious program.

As for him being drug through the street and killed, the US has done the same thing (Or supported and encouraged similar acts)
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

I think we have two distinct antagonistic issues at play here. Both worrisome, but they should not be confused.

1) First is the basic protests, where folks took to the streets to blame the US for the film that disparaged Islam. Most troublesome to me is that the media in Egypt had been airing news about the film of late, announcing the organized protest, etc. for a week ahead of time. This indicates the politicians (The Muslim Brotherhood) deliberately stoking anti-American hostilities. My understanding was that in Libya, the media was not as provocative.

The above got no one hurt though.

2) The attack on the embassy appears to be a deliberate retaliatory assault by Al Qaeda affiliated militia. Timed to use the cover of the protest as much as possible, but otherwise having little to do with it. The retaliation would seem to be either the killing of the #2 Al Qaeda in Libya a few months ago, and possibly to avenge Bin Laden.

Business, same thing. Really, that you think you know the country just because "royalty" (read: tyrants) kiss your ass for oil deals is pretty lame.

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

No, the US does not support dragging people through the streets and killing unarmed innocent people. The only ones responsible are the douches that did it. We give all of these countries money too. We should just cut them off until they learn how to conduct themselves like human beings. These extremists really behave worse than animals.

I heard that some are thinking these attacks were actually planned and had nothing to do with the movie. That would be a big surprise, right? :roll:

Let's put this on a scale....making an insulting movie and attacking and killing innocent people.


I'd say the insulting movie was a 3 on a scale of ten.

Killing innocent people, well....I can't squeeze that in under 10.

Been linked several times. This was very likely Al Qaeda. Retaliating for the killing of one of their big guys in Libya a few months back, and possibly avenging Bin Laden. We are at war with them ......... except six months ago when we took out Qaddaffi for them.

Not sure, I wasn't there but I sure don't always buy the slanted media reports that are agenda driven

did you know the CIA has agents working in all major media outlets and cause stories to be slanted based on political and hidden agendas? This means people like you could fall victim to buying into the attackers being something they are not. They could have been paid mercenaries for all we know (you know like camel riding Blackwater types dressed up as blood-crazed Islamic Fundamentalists)

He did say something, about 10-12 hours ago, I believe.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

Well, for the events in Cairo he did, then he retracted (as usual)


“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.”

“Misguided individuals”?


... of course later an unnamed administration official said that the statement was not cleared by Washington....But the statement did reflect the Obama administration’s views as expressed repeatedly over the years.


He is always apologizing to the Muslim world... in his eyes it's always the West's fault.
