Hillary Celebrates End of Ramadan at State Department with Libyan Ambassador By Penny Starr September 14, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – At an event officials say was planned before the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans on Sept. 11, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Libyan Ambassador to the U.S., Ali Aujali, celebrated the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the State Department on Thursday.

The Eid ul-Fitr reception was held almost a month after the official end of the month on Aug. 19, delayed, officials say, because of Clinton’s travel schedule.

“The date [of the reception] was set purely because of scheduling considerations, especially given lengthy travel abroad recently,” a State Department spokesman told CNSNews.com via email.

The spokesman provided a copy of the Secretary’s schedule, showing that Thursday’s event was scheduled about 24 hours ahead of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

“Although I am many weeks overdue in saying it: Eid Mubarak,” Clinton said. “No matter how belated we are honoring Eid and the end of Ramadan, this is a cherished tradition here at the State Department.”

Clinton acknowledged the deaths, saying, “Tonight, our gathering is more somber than any of us would like. This comes during sad and difficult days for the State Department family.

What a detestable cow she is

If some of us had anything to say about it, the celebration would no longer be a tradition.

Despicable!

Hillary is smiling because she's had *practice* in lying to cover sexual assaults, if Juanita Brodderick is to be believed.

And as for the accounts that the Ambassador died of smoke inhalation, she's got that covered, too.

Remember what she said about when she first learned of Monica?

"Gasping for air, I could hardly breathe."

BTW, isn't her long time, errr, sidekick, Huma Abedin, connected in a big way to the Muslim Brotherhood by family ties?

Go ahead - presume she's not stupid.

What does that leave?

If it was announced rape was about to happen it would be sickening to see all the politicians, from both parties, would volunteer.

Yeah it would be. Fortunately the odds of that are zero.

But it's pretty good Crazy Talk!

Yet another post that demonstrates the need for Jim Robinson to add a “LIKE” button!

“This couldn’t have been cancelled? This is nauseating. What’s wrong with these people?”

The American left is trying to separate Muslims from their faith; it worked with most Catholics, but I don’t think they’ll have any success with Muslims. Catholics were allowed to publicly dissent (without repercussions) by a hierarchy that had lost faith itself; Islam won’t make the same mistake.

Party like it's 630 AD CE, eh, Hillary?

[MacMattico]

Don’t worry, I hear if Obama wins she’s going to replaced with John Kerry!!!!

You mean Huma has quit the State Department and no longer accompanies Hillary?

"The spokesman provided a copy of the Secretary’s schedule, showing that Thursday’s event was scheduled about 24 hours ahead of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi"

They had a 48 hour warning before the attack.

So, they got the warning, then 24 hours later they scheduled the party for after the attack? Did they know ANYTHING at all?

"Like it couldn't be cancelled. Right. This is an "in your face, Israel" from Hillabedin Clinton."

Ditto and BUMP.

"This couldn’t have been cancelled? This is nauseating. What’s wrong with these people?"

Ditto and BUMP.

It is nauseating to see even a hint of a smile on both of their faces.

Ramadan ended a month ago.
