The State Department has gone into full-blown crisis mode, organizing a round-the-clock effort to coordinate the U.S. government's response to the expanding attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East and North Africa.
"The State Department has stood up a 24-hr monitoring team to insure appropriate coordination of information and our response. In addition, our consular team is working with missions around the world to protect American citizens and issue appropriate public warden information," a senior State Department official told reporters Friday afternoon.

Yeah, sure.
About the only thing the Obama Admin will be monitoring is Romney's speeches, looking for any verbiage they can twist into an alleged gaffe.
I sure hope so. And where is the preezy today?
“Too-Late” Obama is on the case!
While they sleep, I bet Huma is standing her own mid-watch, passing all the information she has.
Panic, my ass. This is about starting something ourselves, to give Obama a popularity boost.
Are the monitoring teams responsible for being part of the Daily Presidential Briefings as well?
Certainly the person they are prepared for doesn’t seem to think they are all that important. All that effort...and not even present. Criminal dereliction.
Midnight basketball? A golf course with lights?
I’ll sleep better tonight knowing this. That and a loaded pistol under my bed.
I believe I read Obama took $129 Billion out of Enbassy preparedness funds not too long ago, sorry I don’t have a source at hand.
My idea for a 24-hr monitoring team is a company of heavily outfitted Marines with close in air support, maybe some arty.
Tanks would be nice !
Well, someone has to pretend they are outraged and are doing something, while the president campaigns.
Lots of career enhancing awards to be had!

"Intel From Israel on Whats getting set to Happen in the Middle East My brother and his family live in Jerusalem - he is a minister - his office is close to one of Israel 's largest underground military bases.He called me last night which is very unusual - usually it is email.
He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.
He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel .
What he called a massive redeployment and protective tactics of forces is underway.
Over the last two days he has seen anti-aircraft missile deployments throughout the Jerusalem area including 3 mobile units that he can see from his office windows.
In addition, he has seen very large Israeli armored columns moving fast toward the Sinia where Egypt has now moved in Armor.
There are reports of the top military leaders meeting with Israel 's Sr. Rabi which is something that has happened preceding every prior military campaign.
His admonition is to watch carefully and pray for Israel and its people.
He is convinced that barring something extraordinary Israel will attack Iran - with or without the US - and very soon.
It is the belief in Israel that Obama does not stand with Israel but with the Arab countries.
He has told me before that Israel will saber rattle from time to time but that this time is very different from what he is seeing and hearing. He was at the Wailing Wall 2 days ago and there were hundreds of IDF soldiers there. As he was leaving he passed at least 20 military buses full of soldiers in route to the wall.
He has never seen this before either.
Just thought I would pass this along. My brother is not an alarmist by any means.
When he talks like this it gets my attention for sure and usually I find he knows more than he shares.
There are reports that Israel is asking Obama to come to Israel immediately but they are being answered with silence.
My opinion is that I see the making of the perfect storm.
F*** monitoring!
Shoot the bastards as the climb the walls. All of them. They are committing acts of war, and as enemy combatatants, they should be shot on sight.
Next friggin’ question!
Or a squad of Blackwater Merc’s.

Make sure they have plenty of milk and cookies.....oh.....and jammies.....they might want to sleep like our President is.....
"Welcoming Home" the four Americans murdered in Libya, live on TV in a hangar, with an audience. The "welcoming home" term is the medias, not mine. Then I heard he's attending a big fundraiser later today, in NY City, hosted by Beyonce and some other dimwits.
