BEIRUT, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on Tuesday in the Libyan city of Benghazi, a Libyan official said.

Ambassadors regularly visit the consulates in their countries.
BTTT - I agree wholeheartedly!!
“This thing is not going to end well, when it’s all over.”
It’s barely even started. We’ve got a long, long way to go, and many, many things (SHTF) are going to happen along the way.
there are pictures all over Twitter showing he was dragged out and beaten. Our country should be outraged at what was done to our ambassador and the 3 others.
I sure hope this admin can print enough letters of apology...
where is the tough response?
And what is the response from Libya’s ‘ new and improved ‘ government?
Chirp, chirp
He is another report from CBS. This one makes sense surprisingly:
Al-Sharef said there had been threats that Islamic militants might try to take revenge for the death of al Qaeda’s No. 2 commander Abu Yahya al-Libi, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan in June, and he said the U.S. consulate should have been better protected.
Confirming al-Libi’s death for the first time in a video posted online Monday, al Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zawahri called on Muslim’s in al-Libi’s native Libya to take revenge for his death.
Al-Sharef said the Libyan guards employed to guard the consulate building were far outgunned by the protesters, and thus retreated when the building was stormed.
It wasn’t a rocket attack that killed him. He was pulled out of his car and suffocated by those the administration assisted in “reaching for freedom” And by Freedom, I assume the administration means an ambassador’s throat.
Oh, my. A Reuters report on Drudge says the ambassodor was “suffocated” to death while the other three Americans were killed by gunfire. Suffocated? The pic up on Drudge shows the ambassador being hauled somewhere. I’m assuming he’s dead there. I feel sick looking at that pic.
The front page of the NY Times has nothing about this, or about 9/11 memorials.
It may have been an Arab Spring, but this is definitely Obama’s Fall!
“Obama was complicit in the destruction of both of these governments, which while they were undeniably dictatorships, were much more tolerant of non-Muslims, women, etc., and had generally been brought/bought to cooperate with us.”
Let’s get some facts in here. Kaddhafi ordered his military to shoot Libyans. That’s not tolerance. Most of the Libyan military, except his elite guard, refused to do so. Then Kaddhafi mobilized his mercenary armies in southern Libya, and they did start shooting Libyans. Most of the Libyan army deserted, taking their arms with them, and headed back to their provinces to protect their homes. They joined up with the provincial militias, which are equivalent to our state guards, made a battle plan and drove out the mercenaries.
The left wing media squealed after the militias started hanging the mercenaries from lampposts because a good number of these mercenaries were black Africans. This was not politically correct.
They were even more upset when the militias dragged Kaddhafi’s bureaucrats into the town square and executed them. These commie bureaucrats were dear komrades of Hillary and the commies in the state department. Many of these Kaddhafi loyalists were caught trying to escape Libya, and their SUVs were loaded with American dollars and Libyan treasures.
In sum, Kaddhafi wasn’t a friend toward non-Muslims and women. Kaddhafi cared only about himself and his power, much like the current infestation occupying our whitehouse.
And just to set matters straight, the Muslim Brotherhood is not part of the Libyan government. It’s in Egypt where they rule.
This was definitely pre-arranged and timed to be their 9/11 “celebration.” They were apparently also chanting (in Egypt, I believe) “We are all Osama.”
The movie had nothing to do with it; I think it was probably a sudden inspiration of somebody to blame it on that, knowing that our miserable government would then apologize. Well, actually, our miserable government would have apologized no matter what the Muslims did.
Well, so would I...but I bet we’ll see Obama actually increase their foreign aid now.
“We will never be at war with islam...”
Looks like islam didn’t get the memo.
We can’t even bomb them back into the Stone Age because most of them already live there.
“Maybe, this is all some twisted sacrificial effort by his muslim allies to give him an opportunity to use our military? A Sept/October surprise.”
I was thinking the same thing last night. Anything is possible with this guy! ...and on 9/11 no less!
Why did it take so long for the specific news about the murder of an ambassador to come out?
Free speech is a terrible thing to the tyrants of Utopia.
The lie of that politically correct video is told in the aftermath. Democracy is the power and rule of the mob. That is why we have a constitutional Republic.
This incident shows that the Muslim Brotherhood is radical and will use it’s power to terrorize the world. They need to pay for this and the US government needs to stop lording over and molesting US citizens and focus on deporting the religion of pieces who are in this country. Enough of the pretending, backstabbing and slaughter of Americans to serve a politically correct lie.
I don’t think we know, yet, how he died. I’ve read various reports - RPG, suffocated, died in a hospital, etc. Drudge has a photo up of his dead body being carried by some animal, and another link with a graphic warning of “rebels parading his corpse”. I’ve seen enough, I won’t look at the link.
This is SO bad, they don’t know what to do, IMO.
