Nina is exactly right that the appalling statement issued by the Obama State Department, apparently prior to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo today, betrays the president’s agenda to impose on Americans sharia speech suppression standards in blatant violation of the First Amendment. That, however, is far from the most egregious part of today’s episode in Egypt.
To attack another country’s embassy is an act of war. Now, some will be quick to point out that our embassy was not attacked by the Egyptian regime. That is no defense. Everybody was on notice that there might be rioting today. It was in anticipation that there could be trouble that the State Department issued its despicable statement — putting the onus for violence on American free speech rather than Islamist savagery. Further, it was almost exactly a year ago that an Egyptian mob stormed the Israeli embassy in Cairo, doing almost exactly what they did today: scaling the embassy walls, tearing down the Israeli flag, and replacing it with their own flag.
In that instance, as in today’s, the Egyptian regime could have made certain that the embassy was secure. It chose not to. Unlike the Israelis, however, we actually pay the Egyptians nearly $1.5 billion a year in military aid — funding Obama not only continued under circumstances where it was obvious Egypt would be ruled by anti-American Islamic supremacists, but also which the president would now have our bankrupt government complement with yet another billion dollars in economic assistance.
What are we getting for this largesse? Egypt has renewed relations with Iran, is seeking to purchase submarines from Germany that could be used to attack Israeli assets, is re-militarizing the Sinai in violation of the Camp David Accords, and now cannot — actually, would not — even protect our embassy. And all this against a background in which the Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide, Mohammed Badi, called for violent jihad against the United States in 2010, cheered that excursions into Afghanistan and Iraq have put America in its death throes, and reaffirmed — after the Muslim Brotherhood’s electoral victories — the Brotherhood’s ultimate goal of a global caliphate governed by sharia.
Egypt is an enemy of the United States. We wanted free elections and we got them. What they have given us, as I argue in my imminent new book, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy, is an Egyptian regime that reflects Egypt’s Islamic supremacist population — among the world’s worst human rights violators.
“Obama, Obama, there are still a billion Osamas!” they cried today as they attacked our embassy, shredded our flag, and replaced it with the al Qaeda flag — the one so popular with the “rebels” in Libya and Syria. One of the 9/11 hijackers was an Egyptian, as is the current leader of al Qaeda, as is the Blind Sheikh. A real ally would be embarrassed. An enemy marks the day like Egypt did. The Obama administration marked the day by apologizing for free speech and declining a presidential audience to the prime minister of Israel — our actual ally in the region. President Obama’s calendar is very busy after all: between campaigning and rounds of golf, he’s blocked a day to roll out the red carpet for Egypt’s new president.
Is it too much to hope that the Romney campaign might see an opportunity here to make a point about American national security and foreign policy under Obama? Remember back in 2002, back when we were following the original “with us or against us” Bush Doctrine — back before the doctrine was warped by delusional visions of sharia democracy? Here’s the question: Would they have dared storm the American embassy in Cairo on September 11, 2002?
Obama is a Muslim and a traitor against the U.S.A.
Got ... no ... words
It’s time for a little Darwinism, I think.
The question is: who did more damage to the country, Osama or Obama?
Are we better off now that Osama is (allegedly) gone?
Will we be better off when Obama has left?
Just read that an American was killed at the Consulate in Libya. Hey Obama, still want to continue apologizing to these a-holes
Whoa...
Do you have a link?
This is about 9/11. This is the Islamists' celebration.
Citing al-Reuters, the cowardly al-Obama administration is gaming the US. Again.
Its all over twitter but this is the only link Ive seen so far, more to come later as news starts spreading:

‘So(n) of Hamas’ to Make Film About Islam, Phophet Muhammad (Cairo Embassy attack)
Christian Post ^ | June 21, 2012 | Michael Gryboski

The son of a founding leader of Hamas has announced that he will be making a movie about Islam with the intention of showing Muslims the “real nature” of Prophet Muhammad.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of the spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, announced his project in Jerusalem at a press conference on Tuesday.
“I think this is the time to expose the real nature of Islam,” said Yousef to reporters gathered. “Islam is a religion of war and most Muslims don’t understand the true nature of Islam. This is the time and I would like to announce it today here from Jerusalem, next to the Temple Mount.”

NOTE this was back in JUNE!
But the admin issued their ‘press release’ today!
THEN the US embassies were attacked in both egypt and libya.
On this day of all days.
EXCELLENT IDEA~!
Indeed. Osama is still alive, like the Hydra.
Oh, and GM is most definitely dead. They just don't know it yet.
It looks that way...been building up to an appropriate day, eh? Like, say, oh, I don’t know, 9/11...
Actually, the Middle Ages would be a huge cultural step up for pubic faced, pedophile worshiping, ass/hand wiping, rock in a box bowing f'n barbarians.
Actually, your indigenous geographic wasteland only supports life today because of our charitable/naive forbearance.
Right, no apology from Dems (or the Obama campaign) when they showed their hatred towards Christians and Jews during the DNC not once but 3 times, and now we are apologizing to savages that want to kill us?

And the State Department thinks that this is just peachy. How I wish that “Some” administration would fire all of these so-called Diplomats. They don’t represent us so why should we continue to pay for their salaries?
Too bad we didn’t have Cary Grant to saunter out and tell them: “You’re under arrest. All of you”
In my heart I BELIEVE that obama is trying to bring about Armageddon for the muslims. I can NOT see it any other way.
But I heard for myself, with my own ears, that the President of the USA said WE WOULD NEVER BE AT WAR WITH ISLAM. Why would they do this?
(those look very functional)
