Hillary Celebrates End of Ramadan at State Department with Libyan Ambassador
CNS NEWS ^ | Sept 14, 2012 | Penny Starr

(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.”

So, Hillary’s personal travel plans were enough to put it off for a month, but the violation of our sovereign territory and murder of our people by Libyan terrorists, aided and abetted by this fellow she is dining with, were NOT enough.

So all these Muslims did their terror attacks DURING the Muslim “holy” month?

Says a lot about this religion.

Ramadan actually ended August 18th. But the State Department and Hillary forgot to celebrate the end of Ramadan on the 19th as is required -- an unforgivable omission.

“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.”

Now we have started a new tradition for the end of Ramadan -- the killing of ambassadors and sacking of embassies and consulates around the world to mark the end of Ramadan. Eid Mubarak, Mrs Clinton.

Precisely! Can you impeach the SOS? But, she’s never had any shame for the outageous things she has done over the yea — from interrupting Sentor Edward Brooke from MA, who tried to speak at her college graduation, to this. She has been outrageous time after time and gotten away with it. Anybody else would have retired in shame long ago. She turns my stomach.

Is that her way of showing how diverse she is? Maybe she’ll show up at the LDS General Conference in October. Not!
