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.

So, is this like one of those 3 am phone calls?
Castrate Obama? Maybe Romney could outsource the job to Jesse Jackson.
The Obama administration has put in place these people who hate us. It was totally inept handling of protests against Ghadaffi. Bush had Ghadaffi come begging to be left alone, but now we have embassies attacked, rockets killing ambassadors, and all of that probably with some weapons provided by us in our military support of the people who killed us.
Obama is a threat to our national security. He is a threat to the women and children of America.

“More to come, maybe, but Obama is going to have to do something now.”
I wonder, what would be an appropriate response? Any suggestions?
It seems that he, along with three other security officials (his bodyguards, I would assume) were trying to evacuate the staff and had a car or cars pulled up outside ready to go. I saw one photo in a foreign website and you could see a destroyed car outside a flaming building - and what appeared to be a body lying at the door of the building.
I guess we’ll find out more later (unles Obama makes this all disappear from the news). I bet we’ll find out more from the non-US press than our own.
Perhaps Obama should be awarded another Nobel Peace Prize for the good and peaceful things he will establish in the future by golfing now.

Halt their foreign aid immediately and demand that the participants in these acts be rounded up and tried before resuming it. But that’s not going to happen.
An apology, golf this afternoon, and a few homebrews.
I wouldn’t even resume it.
I’d simply put the hammer down.
Muslim gratitude, don’t you just love it?
Who knew unPresidential actions could lead to something like this?
What a shame this had to happen. Arab spring, freedom fighters... we ought to be helping. Well here we are...
Thanks a lot Jimmy Obama. Or is that Barack Carter?
Yes, so true...
Unfortunately, it’s like the lights are on, but nobody’s home.
Sometimes it is difficult to know how to respond to attacks by foreign terrorists, or foreign criminals. This was not an attack by the government of Libya.
I'm an old guy and I remember when the Marine barracks in Beirut were attacked killing 241 Marines while Reagan was president. His response was to withdraw the remaining Marines.
Whatever it is, it better not last more than ten minutes or cost more than $450.00/us, or folks on this forum will be cursing the ground the person who instigated it walks on.
in 1972, the US Ambasador to Sudan, Cleo Noel, was assassinated by Black September Organization terrorists. To the best of my knowledge, no action was taken. In 1985, the cutthroat who led that operation was the number two man at the PLO embassy in Harare. Justice delayed is justice denied.
What does Huma have to say about this?
Thx for the reply.
I just saw that Egypt had been warned of an attack on the embassy.

The Egyptian Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper reportedly obtained a copy of a top secret letter addressed to Major General Samy Sedhom, first assistant Interior Minister for Social Security, on September 4, which stated that intelligence services notified the ministry’s national security body that elements from the organization in Egypt and Gaza were planning attacks on the two embassies.
Security sources said the letter was forwarded to Egyptian security officials, informing them to undertake the necessary measures. The sources added that Military Intelligence informed the Interior Ministry one week ago that 22 terrorists in Sinai are planning to attack vital facilities and police checkpoints, according to the Egypt Independent.
