The American ambassador to Libya and three other US diplomats were killed overnight in an attack on the American consulate in Benghazi by Islamist militants.
Chris Stevens, who had completed several missions to Libya since 2007 and was appointed ambassador in March, was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade launched by gunmen from Islamist group, Ansar al Sharia, according to a Reuters report.

The consulate was set on fire in the attack, while video footage of a lifeless Caucasian man thought to be Stevens, later appeared on YouTube.

Good thing we have the “Man Who Got Bin Laden” to lead the country
Wonder if Biden will be reiterating his Bin Laden BS
We've been inundated with lessons about islam since 9/11 and if we (I) can't remember that much, I DO remember that symbolism is very important to the muslim and I know there is a tactict called taquia that allows the 'religionists' to lie so that islam is advanced.
Netenyahu is pressing for America's response/approval to Israel's predicament regarding Iran and on the 11th anniversary of the attack on America, we are attacked twice more ... once in Egypt and another in Libya.
So the last 24 -36 hours have been chock FULL of active symbolism and overt action against the US. The white house is lieing and HAS been lieing to us since the mulatto has been advanced to a power position,
America does not want zero anymore and especially back in office
The powers that allowed this travesty against human freedom and dignity are confident enough to push the first domino.
They're tumbling (iMo), and only someone with the domino vision glasses AND the brassies to interrupt that fascinating to watch event CAN prevent world turmoil.
I fear too many people (congress) will even start tapping their feet to the rythm of destruction while screaming like a garage band incoherant statements decrying the madness.
I'll go take my meds now ... but I won't go quietly.
"On the subject of 'knee jerk reactions', actually its not my place to call it a 'knee jerk reaction", the Romney Campaign yesterday released a statement before the assassination of Ambassador Stevens but it was talking about the violence that was going on in Libya and Cairo. The Romney Campaign released this statement it said: 'I am outraged by the attacks on American Diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American Consulate worker in Benghazi...' (that is a seperate death btw than Chris Stevens) Romney goes on to say "That it is disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions but to sympathize with those who wage the attacks.'WTF? Did this asswipe actually comprehend what he was reading when he read out loud Romney's statement? Did he not understand the part that sez: "I am outrage by the attacks... and "The Death of an American Consulate worker."...?'What is interesting about this statement Congressman Forbes, is this statement came out before there was any violence...'
"Mitt Romney is calling out the Obama team for not condemning the violence before the violence ever happened."
Did he think this person died in a drowning accident or something?
Seriously WTF?
The best thing about these CNN and MSNBC clowns is literally no one is watching them.
Now I'm starting to suspect this is the work of Hillary's muslim brotherhood to get Zippo out and make way for her in 2016.
Their caliphate wont be complete without Saudi Arabia, and they wont get SA without Hillary as prez.
Everything is starting to unfold exactly the same way it did in 2000 with the bombing of the Cole, which was part of the preparations for the 9/11 attack.
This poor excuse for a president we have is more upset that Romney correctly came out with a statement on Obama’s ridiculous Egypt comment than he was with the protests and US deaths in Libya. And then he snubs Bibi in a most crucial time in the Middle East. This guy has to go! What a joke! The pundits are scrambling to cover his ass - surprise.
Clint Eastwood was right. Empty Seat in the White House. Where is Obama on this? Pathetic!
He really is. For once I actually agreed with Keith Olberman as he reacted to Joey Scab's reported presidential ambitions. John Edwards has a better chance of being elected. At least Edwards doesn't have to explain away a dead intern.
I don’t know why Bibi is even bother with Obama now. He should just be praying everyday for Romney’s election. Romney might even be not that much better than Obama, but he cannot possibly be worse, and I’m convinced that Obama part deux will be a heck of a lot worse than he’s been so far.
Have no fear my fellow Americans
THE MAN WHO GOT BIN LADEN is in charge
Yes and the drunk on the C-130 aircraft.
U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement
September 11, 2012
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others
And the initial apology from the Embassy in Cairo is similar to Mission Accomplished. Romney needs to go on the attack for Obama's failed foreign policy and lack of leadership.
I just heard Monica Crowley on Wash Times Radio outline what we should now do.
She says that we should immediately cut off all aid to Libya and Egypt, the Palestinians, and any other aid recipient in the region that does not publicly denounce the violence against American interests. “Immediately” she repeated, “today”.
Our reaction must be “punitive” and “retaliatory”, not rhetorical.
Romney camp, are you listening?
Turn Benghazi into a glass parking lot.
In one way (without the hostages - yet) this is worse than Carter because it's happening in 2 nations which Obama so proudly put together after toppling more secular leaders who kept these nutcases under control.
Libya and Egypt was probably one bragging point Obama was going to use in the debates.
“Who would stop them”???
Millions of us... rest assured. There are 10’s of millions of Patriots and not enough Feds to stop us from defending ourselves... note that I said DEFENDING OURSELVES... if they attack here again.
