A bloody attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that left American ambassador Christopher Stevens, two marines and a communications officer dead was a planned ambush by terrorists using a pro-Islam protest as cover, it has been claimed.
The victims died during a rocket attack when an armed mob set fire to the consulate in Benghazi after joining a protest over a 'blasphemous' film about the Prophet Mohammed.
It is believed a 'small, vicious group' of attackers used the protest as a diversion, although questions remain over whether the killers drummed up support for the march or simply took advantage of it, an official told CNN.
While it is not known exactly who was responsible for the ambush, a London think tank with strong ties to Libya said Stevens, who is not believed to have been targeted, could have been the victim of a revenge attack by al Qaeda.

A very indepth article, with many photos. Guess what - LIBYANS were hired to guard the consultate in Libya:
A furious mob fired gunshots and then set the building alight as they clashed with Libyans hired to guard the facility. Outnumbered by the crowd, Libyan security forces did little to stop them, al-Sharef said.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON !!!???

Yet somehow Romney should not have pointed out that apologizing to these terrorists was a mistake???

Some shouted, 'We are all Osama' Limbaugh made a great point about the DNC convention -- just one long brag about killing Osama.
Will the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue dominating the MSM mention that Osama connection . . . .

9*uckhead’s support for Islam is becoming clear.
Those who are tasked with protecting our country and our Constitution better be taking notice.

http://www.washingtonguardian.com/red-flags-embassy-security The State Department took several corrective actions and subsequently selected a new contractor to take over the Afghans embassys security. But that selection quickly created new controversy when the Senate Armed Services Committee issued a report finding that the contractor had relied on warlords with possible ties to the Taliban to staff its security forces. The inspector general recently concluded that the State Departments vetting of the contractor met federal regulations but somehow failed to uncovered the information found by Senate investigators. The Department was not aware of the selected contractors past performance, as reported by the Senate Armed Services Committee, until after the report was publicly released in October 2010, which was after the contract and the task order had been awarded. OIG also determined that the Department had used the proper systems to obtain, the IG reported ************ The Obama/Clinton State Dept vetted and approved a security contractor who was known to possibly reaching out to Taliban warlords to staff the security positions,,,

“We”? You mean that’s standard policy at consulates and embassies all over world? US military doesn’t give protection? The US always hires local thugs and fools?

Please do not confuse “Stupidity” and “Treason”.
It isn’t stupidity. It’s evil. Big difference. Phil, could you post your graphic and comments on this thread? I’d copy it but I don’t know how to exactly. My heart is burning.

Never in my lifetime have I seen a American embassy taken over and destroyed and an American ambassador and other Americans murdered.
The Obama Administration apologized again.
The Secretary of State said she could not understand how it possibly could have happened.
The MSM praised the Arab Spring. They were either totally clueless or lying about what was really happening.
To: little jeremiah
As paraphrased
by another FReeper:
Jeff Cooper [famous firearms instructor] trained the bodyguards of a head of state for some third-world country. When he was done, he told the head of state that some of his men were now as good or better than the men protecting the President of the United States. Then he added, But I dont know who they are. I hope you do.

My heart just keeps pounding. I am so enraged and disgusted I cant function.I hear you.
I was on the phone a lot this morning with Senators and Reps' staff members expressing my anger over this debacle in as controlled a manner as I could muster.
At one point, when I related to one staffer the hurt I felt having this happen on the 11th anniversary of having three friends die on 9/11, I broke down, even though I had said the same thing about ten times to different offices already.
We have to express our rage to the folks in DC. This cannot be ignored, swept under the rug, or excused away.
We have an American-hating President and a Marxist Administration bent on making this nation bow to Islam.
F'that.

What did the 0*uckhead people say this time in apology, about the movie again?
Please, the MSM is not clueless. They are complicit leftist ideologue traitors. Enough alreayd of this “oh, they’re clueless, oh they’re stupid, oh they’re amateurs, oh they don’t know what they’re doing” bs.
Oh, they know what they’re doing all right. They’re helping The Revolution they’ve longed for all these years.
Travis McGee’s story he posted yesterday explains it nicely.
