Obama to welcome home remains of Americans killed in Libya

President Barack Obama will travel to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington on Friday to welcome home the remains of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and the three other Americans killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

"The President and Secretary Clinton will attend the Transfer of Remains Ceremony marking the return to the United States of the remains of the four Americans killed this week in Benghazi, Libya; the President and Secretary Clinton will deliver brief remarks," the White House said in a statement.

Obama's attendance, announced at the last minute, came as protests spread at American diplomatic facilities across northern Africa, the Mideast and Asia. Demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and replaced it with an Islamist banner. The embassy in Yemen came under attack on Thursday.

The president has been working the phones with leaders in the region, calling those in Egypt, Libya and Yemen to urge greater security for American facilities. He has also ordered special Marine units tasked with protecting—and, if necessary, evacuating—embassies and consulates to both Libya and Yemen.

When he’s there, watching those remains being taken off the aircraft, I wonder if he’ll have an expression on his face that will show that he understands that those people were likely tortured and killed, and it’s directly his fault?

These two have blood on their hands, in my opinion; lots of American patriot’s blood!

Rush just said their internal polling must be pretty bad for Obama to be there instead of out fundraising.

He doesn’t go to Andrews when solders’ bodies come home. This is so political. But, sadly, it’ll probably work for him.

Once again Hillary apologizes. This time she’s speaking for the muslims who didn’t attack. God, I despise these people.

Agreed...

I'm outraged at this!

Making a photo op with the caskets that they themselves filled with innocent blood due to their incompetence...

My God...

Hillary speaking slowly and solemnly, about each of the dead.

Behind her is the honor guard.

On either side of the honor guard are two caskets each, on their own catafalque.

Behind that,, four hearses, back to the screen with open doors.

Hillary trying to sound stern. Can’t bear to relate what she is saying because projectile vomiting is about to commence.

NOW Hillary says she’s honored to introduce obama. This is so sickening. And he starts with quoting the Bible.

Zippy quotes Scripture——about laying down one’s life for his friends.

Hillary stands off to the right Side of the lectern, looking from the front. slightly behind Zippy, still in screen shot.

The worst thing about this is these brave men being eulogized by two of the worst people ever to be in such positions of power in this nation’s history.

Zippy looking down at notes, TelePrompTer not available.

They should be apologizing to the families for their negligence in office.

Zippy done. Chaplain speaks now primo benediction.

Star Spangled banner playing, tears hot on my cheeks.

Each of the four carry details in full salute around each casket.
