We have enough Brotherhood states already.

The episode reveals an American diplomat with more fortitude and canny than his boss in the White House.

I've got a parakeet with more fortitude...probably more class,too.

Thanks for the laughs! Honestly......Freepers are the BEST!

[RetiredTexasVet]

Obviously, the dim witted ambassador or his boss don’t have enough sense to figure it out on their own ... a suggestion ...leave the country before they kill you. Now, see that wasn’t really mentally over taxing was it.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Pan_Yan.

Pro-regime thugs in Syria harassed and set upon the U.S. ambassador just over a week ago. The event was not publicly reported in Washington until Tuesday, when a journalist discovered a propaganda video exploiting the attack.

Assad should have been put on notice -- either identify (to US satisfaction) the perpetrators and execute them, or we're at war.

It's more bad news.

Obama only opens his mouth or voluntarily throws himself in front of something when it's good news.

That's called “leadership.”

[ladyjane]

Why are we sticking our nose into the affairs of these countries?

Oh, I forgot, our president wants the Muslim Brotherhood to take over these countries.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Obama LOVES him some Iran (and their proxies)

[oyez]

Obama is doing nothing to offend those people. They must have read him the riot act after that raid on Ben Laden

[Rembrandt]

Haven’t y’all heard about the unwritten rule of the underworld:

Thugs never squeal on other thugs!

[Hunton Peck]

That's just 0bama plugging his favorite network:

Good point. Anyone with half a brain would now abandon the Obama ship. The Obama administration and all affiliated with it will become a joke, if any of us survive the ineptitude/deconstruction.
Unfortunately, the only people left to fill any of the bloated spots would be only more inept and gullible and ignorant than the present Obama administration and that is really, really, really scary.

[himno hero]

and ours....

[ladyjane]

So true

[Godwin1]

The Arab thugs are Obama’s “people.” The ambassador is not, but rather a competent, brave career official. Ford is not a campaign contributor. Big contributors, like clueless Steelers’ heir Rooney, end up with cushy, no-work ambassadorships like Dublin.

[himno hero]

Too bad America does not follow it through. MB takes over a segment of the Mid East, with the agitation, they will try to push over the only democracy in the Mid East. If they have success, then they collectively will move on the n big satan.

Thats you and me. All of this and more will hit our shores.

Here we have Obama supporting them, giving them Libya at Americas expense, etc etc all against our interests.

Its all blatantly treasonous and seditious behavior , all impeachable.

[SunkenCiv]

:’D

[nuconvert]

I think the article overstates what the video shows.
He was certainly harrassed...I don’t know if I’d say he was attacked. It makes it sound like they beat up on him, and that didn’t happen.
Now, if he hadn’t had security there to whisk him away, he might have been beaten up.

I wonder if more of the media will pick up on this story now.
