The obama administration's pathetic attempt to say the killings of our US ambassador and others was just a random protest is falling apart. This was an Alquiada terrorist attack and as the facts come out obama will be forced to admit his foreign policy in the mid east has failed. Can't blame this one on Bush.

"U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal on Friday that they are investigating indications that a local group of Libyan militants, Ansar al Sharia, held a series of conversations Tuesday with al Qaeda extremists about the assault that day on the consulate, in the first sign of possible coordination in the attack between local fighters and the global terrorist movement."

"The crowd of several hundred Libyans overran the consulate Tuesday night, shooting a hail of bullets and grenades and overwhelming the lightly guarded compound before allegedly setting fire to the main buildings where American staff lived and worked. U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and a second diplomat, Sean Smith, died in the fire."

Libyans See al Qaeda Hand in Embassy Attack - WSJ.com


"Considering the fact that many Americans expressed grave concerns when President Obama first talked about his plans to close Guantanamo Bay (and to house and try suspected Al Qaeda operatives on U.S. soil instead), it is understandable why the White House might sit on that information.
The Obama administration would not want Americans to know that an ex-Gitmo detainee, released on his watch, might have been involved in the brutal deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three of his staff."

If it comes out that a terrorist that Obama released from GITMO was instrumental in this attack, BYE BYE OBAMA!

That the administration story is falling apart seems to be part of a pattern, no?
 
Of course the Libyans would rather have this atrocity the fault of outsiders than Libyans. There's a big shock. Of course, I can see why you are outraged, since no americans were ever killed by Al Quaeda while a Republican was President. Does the date September 11, 2001 ring any bells?

The protestors didn't arrive in pick up trucks with RPGs..

Even Amb Stevens knew there were AQ friendly militia in Derna, Marsa Brega and Benghazi.. Obama said as much.. The video just made it worse and gave cover to the terrorists.

It was the Obama administration who tried to use the video as cover and have the blame shifted elsewhere. They've managed to ruin the life of a fellow American as a consequence.

There were few in the world who believed that it was a video at the bottom of these attacks, apart from the Kool Aid drinkers who will always buy whatever BHO is selling.
 
The obama media is desperately trying to not report this act of terrorism because it shows obama's foreign policy is a disaster and he got these Americans killed with his naive opinion that terrorism was over, the Muslims love him and would never do this. The lack of security was criminal negligence.

That is patently absurd. The Obama administration had NOTHING to do with producing or distributing the vulgar video.

If you fail to understand how offensive an attack on Muhammed or the Patriarchs is to Muslim people, you have completely missed the boat.

The vast majority don't riot, but its like spitting in their eyes.
 
The Obama administration spent $70,000 in tax payer funds in Pakistan to distance themselves from the movie they claim started this world wide violence. Just more irresponsibly on the part of the Obama administration by 1, squandering tax payer money, and by 2, appearing weak because of how they responded.

Pakistanis can't vote for you. Or, wait, can they?

All the Kool-aid drinkers here claimed the violence was from a "hand full" of Muslim fringe groups. Drink up believers!

Jim Jones would be proud of you.

This is patently absurd.

The offended parties willingly looked at the video and reacted. I find certain images offensive regarding animal abuse, I do not look. If I do look I get offended and upset. There is no spittle in my eye nor do I expect the world to provide me special dispensation because I have a certain set of beliefs, values or principles.

Any US president with a brain would have disavowed that cheesy bit of insulting porn..

Pakistanis aren't lobbying in Florida.. What the H are you talking about Pakistanis "voting"?
 
Yeah, so about the Benghazi attacks and the video...

Mr. Invisible said:
In Libya, the attacks had very little to do with the video (Asia Times Online :: Mr Blowback rising).

Concerning the video itself, it was made by an Egyptian Coptic Christian by the name of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. (Nakoula Basseley Nakoula Claims Role In 'Innocence Of Muslims') The video, overall, was made to bring attention to the ongoing plight of Egypt Copts (Inside the Islamophobic-Religious Right Alliance Whose Film Sparked a Crisis in the Middle East | Alternet)

To bring attention to the Egyptian Copts? Now that is SPIN.

Egyptian Copts hate this guy Nakoula and want him arrested.. Good grief.. He lost his Egyptian citizenship.

I think I have seen it in Cairo Times as well as al Bawaba and a couple of US news outlets.

The big problem for Copts is that they are forbidden to EVER divorce. They get around that by converting to Islam, getting a divorce and then converting back to the Coptic Church. Nuts IMO.

For the most part there is little friction between Egyptians and Egyptian Copts.. that is part of what makes Nakoula's film so vicious.

First, any idiot would know the US Government had nothing to do with the making of that film, even Muslims across the world. Second, the White House released statements picked up by news agencies across the world condemning the film. By paying for a video ad that cost $70,000 in tax payer contributions to make himself look good in a Muslim community is just more appeasement of the Muslim community.

Since he became POTUS his pandering to Muslims have showed his weakness as a world leader. They don't like or respect him anymore than they did before. Now look at the results.

But hey, what's money to the 6 trillion dollar man?

Anyone who thinks being a Muslim entitles you to respond to non-violence with violence is deserving of their own ill will.

No one has claimed the administration had anything to do with producing or distributing the video, but in the backward countries of the ME where autocracy is the order of the day it is hard for the people to imagine anything being done without government approval.

In the civilized part of the world we do not have bloody riots over patently offensive productions like "The Book Of Mormon" or "Piss Christ" and the rioting Muslims do no credit to their culture with their behavior. If you selectively abandon your free speech principles in the face of violence, you earn contempt rather than respect or affection.

How funny.. Our goverment had NOTHING to do with that film, yet you think that Muslim terrorists represent ALL Muslims and their governments. Stupidity isn't confined to one ethnicity or a single creed.

Sharon what I am is a human being living in a society and culture where people respect the rights of others. Should people be offended there are administrative and/or judicial means to seek relief. Self help in the measure that was taken by the rioters and murders runs contrary to the criminal law and the laws of society in general. I do not see where your pointing out that I am not a muslin is even germane to my statement other than to give these people an excuse for the mayhem and killing they wrought over the embassies and their own countries.

Even Libyan authorities said this behavior was criminal in nature and arrested several people connected with this.

You have no basis in fact, law or reality to make your assertions...:lol:

Of course.. In our country you can say ANYTHING.. Like Rush claiming that men's genitals are shrinking because of women.

This is NOT the case in Muslim lands.

There is evidence of quite a large number of people who hate America and have demonstrated their hate across the world. Care to venture a guess as to their ethnicity or creed?

Stupid is as stupid does.
