BENGHAZI, Libya, Sept 12 (Reuters) - An American staff member of the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi has died following fierce clashes at the compound, Libyan security sources said on Wednesday.

"One American staff member has died and a number have been injured in the clashes," Abdel-Monem Al-Hurr, spokesman for Libya's Supreme Security Committee, said, adding that he did not know the exact number of injured and could not say what the cause of death was.

Armed gunmen attacked the compound on Tuesday evening, clashing with Libyan security forces before the latter withdrew as they came under heavy fire. The armed group is said to have been protesting a film being produced in the United States.

Obama’s War.

And John FTA Kerry was boasting last week at the DNC Convention that regime came in Libya (after an unmentioned series of war crimes including torture, abuse, and murder of a POW named Momar Gaddafi) without losing a single American life.

FUBO.

LOL, funny thought.
I think the Nobel prize people would revoke Obama’s Peace prize for that.
Better to send in the drones at night for the kill and then deny that it was us as Obama does regularly , Who is going to call the first black and real humanitarian POTUS a liar?

A real President would say, “The bombing begins in 5 minutes”.

Roll out the heavy artillery and blast them?

Obamas treasonous betrayal of a US ally, Mohamar Gadaffi,
is now coming home to roost, as theMuslim Brotherhood takes over, and re-establishes the old Egyptian Caliphate.

This is just as Obama has intended.

Gaddaffi was maligned by the Obama administration and by the Western Press.He was the most developed of any in trying to Westernize the medieval aspects of Islam.

"A real president would say the bombing begins in 5 minutes".

A thought occurred that at this very moment there are frantic efforts to get any American, British, etc. nationals out of Libya before they get sought out and ripped apart limb to limb by ravening mobs.

The delay of word and deed retaliation may be due to this reason....with both Republican and DemonRat leaders awaiting the word to proceed.......

If only the same movie approach were used to condemn Christians, Bo and his minions in the media would have it up for an award. Bravo for Jones for his courage in standing up against the mass murderers of innocent people.

There’s not going to be any retaliation. Not by this regime. All there will be is a State Department statement about ‘the unfortunate actions’ and the ‘saddened American people’, blah, blah, blah...........

Carter is Obama. Obama is Carter.

Both are Traitor Losers who hate America!

Jimmy Carter's presidency was doomed by the Iranian hostage crisis after the US embassy in Tehran was stormed by Islamist extremists following the Iranian revolution.

A year after the 52 Americans were taken hostage, Carter lost the 1980 election. The hostages were released just as President Ronald Reagan, who defeated Carter, was sworn in.

As Clint noted, the Empty Chair attending the intel briefings.

Thanks to RushIsMyTeddyBear and Focault's Pendulum and for finding these morphing graphic art realities!
