“Obama, Obama, there are still a billion Osamas!” (Shouted in Cairo today- Andrew McCarthy)

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?

“At this point tell every Arab country that each embassy will show the purported offensive movie. When they storm the walls kill every last miserable one of them. Next day announce the same thing. Rinse and repeat. When the day comes that nobody shows to storm the walls during the movie showing, it’s time to discuss diplomatic relations with the “moderate” Muslims of the Arab world.”

A most excellent idea, should have been done a long time ago!

A US official has been killed and another wounded in Libya as an armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam attacked the US consulate in Benghazi.

Libya’s deputy interior minister Wanis al Sharef said: “One American official was killed and another injured in the hand. The other staff members were evacuated and are safe and sound.” He could not say if the dead man was a diplomat.

In the Egyptian capital, Cairo, protesters climbed the walls of the US embassy, tore down the American flag and burned it.

The protests were sparked by outrage over a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the US, which the demonstrators say insults the Prophet Mohammed.

The US condemned the attack in Benghazi, amid reports that the mission had been set on fire and targeted with rocket-propelled grenades.

“We can confirm that our office in Benghazi, Libya, has been attacked by a group of militants,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

“We condemn in strongest terms this attack,” she added in a statement issued before reports of the death, which came on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

When you’re dealing with people who choose violence as a first option, thr only way to be successful is to be more violent. They are like rabid dogs. They cannot be trained - only put down.

HE LIED AND THE EMBASSY DIED.

[IMR 4350]

How convenient.

Now the left can say SEE SEE SEE Obama really isn't a butt boy to the muslim brotherhood as the right wingers claim. The muslims hate him for his tough stance against terrorist.

My BS meter is pegging out.

The U.S. embassy issued a statement apologizing to Muslims offended by an unspecified film being produced inside the U.S. that allegedly insulted the prophet Muhammed.

We bend over backwards to avoid offending everyone around the world. Yet they can spit on us, shoot us, burn us out and all we do is CONDEMN the actions against us?

It is no wonder that we are reviled, we don’t even defend ourselves, we do our darnedest to “Understand their feelings toward us”. It’s not that we aren’t civilized, it’s that these Mobs only respect force and willingness to use it. It’s the way their own leaders treat them and that is their cultural norm.

What are the “rules of engagement” for our embassy Marines?

Oh billion Osamas! Oh billion Osamas! The Seals could deliver you to your virgins like Osama! Don’t push your luck.

"In my heart I BELIEVE that obama is trying to bring about Armageddon for the muslims. I can NOT see it any other way."

Maybe he thinks he is the 12th Mahdi (sic).

[piasa]

We’re gonna need a lot more ammo!

I think the social security administration and the IRS is hogging it all. Can't spare all those hollowpoints for a bunch of embassy security guards.

>> making a movie about Islam with the intention of showing Muslims the “real nature” of Prophet Muhammad.

 

Islam is a fraud propped up by theocractic tyrants.

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;

 

...

 

 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.
