An American has been killed and at least one other wounded after militiamen stormed the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, officials say.

It is believed the protest was held over a US-produced film that is said to be insulting to the Prophet Muhammad.

The building was set on fire after armed men raided the compound with grenades.

Protests have also been held at the US embassy in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.

In the attack in Benghazi, unidentified armed men stormed the grounds, shooting at buildings and throwing handmade bombs into the compound.

Security forces returned fire but Libyan officials say they were overwhelmed....

It’s getting so that you can’t tell the Islamist savages apart without a program, it seems that there are so many of them on the loose...

We’re sorry we made you kill one of our citizens./s

Was the victim part of the Marine guard? And why is not the FMF pounding the snot out of these two arab spring shitholes and taking back United States sovereign territory?

Great job Hillary! FUBO !!!

And how many did our embassy guards kill with machine guns? I bet Zero has no fire orders. Screw that, if I was there I would be shooting.

I love how the press tries to play these stories as if these are just regular poor peaceful folks minding their business when some nongovernment civilian allegedly insults their religion and forces them to "protest" spontaneously on the anniversary of 9/11 by going after a government target.

As if it is perfectly normal for regular poor peaceful folks to know how to assemble BOMBS and to have a stash of GRENADES and AL QAEDA FLAGS handy for spontaneous demonstrations that happen to occur on the most infamous anniversary and it is perfectly normal for people who have been insulted to kill a person who didn't have anything to do with the alleged insult, and we should owe them an apology for making them spontaneously protest with firebombs andgrenades on a day they should be celebrating an isolated human-cause disaster.

This is the same press that thinks it is abnormal for an American to own a gun for self defense and the same admin that feels threatened by peaceful unarmed people speaking out in defense of liberty at a town hall.

Kind of a rerun of Jimmy Carter’s fiasco over there, isn’t it? O will send in the troops, make sure he makes a mess of it, and then Romney will win and instantly they’ll back down.

When they are left alone they don’t kill eachother so much as train and plot ways to kill us.

Juan Williams showed his ass again tonight and blamed bush, again.

I'm not watching Hannity's show anymore or any other that has that asshole on.
No, this isn't about Bush, it's about FOX allowing the deceptive lies that
willams and many others get away with. It's not about calling them out, it's
about the fact that they slip in tones of propaganda by perception then sit back
and get away with it, then play the victim if they get called out to badly.

FU Hannity, and same to you O'Reilly. /flip

Thank you for your son’s service. All Americans need to flee the middle east asap. It is going to blow sky high this time. Obama wants it. He has loaded up Libya Egypt and Syria with freshly trained and armed Al Queda fighters. Their battle plan is mayhem, against any American interests. The place will not recover for a couple of generations. American involvement in the ME is over. Israel will probably not survive the nuclear attacks from Iran and Pakistan, unless the Saudis come to their aid (do not like the persians, in spades).

If we had a real president that black box in Mecca would be a little blacker.

Nay, its condensed dust would be polluting the stratosphere.

The response to this ME charade is pathetic.

Pull all US Citizens out of both embassies immediately.

I doubt Williams believes half the crap that comes out of his mouth. But I’ve tuned out the show as well. It’s too intentionally abrasive.

One person who used to be like Williams was Kirsten Powers and for some unknown
reason she changed on the most part to logical assessments instead of constant stumping.
That is all I ask for, fair and balanced doesn't mean deception at every turn
is Ok just because someone thinks an ounce of truth overrides a pound of deception and lies.

Sorry for the earful 2nd, but you were just sitting there. :)
