Hillary Celebrates End of Ramadan at State Department with Libyan Ambassador

Hillary Celebrates End of Ramadan at State Department with Libyan Ambassador By Penny Starr September 14, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – At an event officials say was planned before the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans on Sept. 11, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Libyan Ambassador to the U.S., Ali Aujali, celebrated the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the State Department on Thursday.

The Eid ul-Fitr reception was held almost a month after the official end of the month on Aug. 19, delayed, officials say, because of Clinton’s travel schedule.

“The date [of the reception] was set purely because of scheduling considerations, especially given lengthy travel abroad recently,” a State Department spokesman told CNSNews.com via email.

The spokesman provided a copy of the Secretary’s schedule, showing that Thursday’s event was scheduled about 24 hours ahead of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

“Although I am many weeks overdue in saying it: Eid Mubarak,” Clinton said. “No matter how belated we are honoring Eid and the end of Ramadan, this is a cherished tradition here at the State Department.”

Clinton acknowledged the deaths, saying, “Tonight, our gathering is more somber than any of us would like. This comes during sad and difficult days for the State Department family.

It still amazes me how the Clintons lick his boots.

By the way, did they celebrate Easter with anyone?

Is it any wonder why 9-11-2001 occurred?

I often blame Perot for #ing things up, but ultimately, it was not his policy that facilitated the attacks.

If it was announced rape was about to happen it would be sickening to see all the politicians, from both parties, would volunteer.

“violently rape him”

Well,,, if he was “violently raped” like Gaddaffi(sp) was, they used an 8” stiletto to carve up his guts, before murdering him.

Did they slaughter a goat together and eat it?

No, they just slaughtered a U.S. Ambassador. We should've celebrated the end of ramadan by nuking Mecca, Benghazi, Islamabad, Tehran, Damascus, Cairo, and Dodoma.

As kind of a commemoration of all the people the followers of muhammad (piss be upon him) have killed.

Imagine if our response to the Pearl Harbor attack was:

The Japanese are people of peace. Let's have a gathering and celebrate their culture.

The only thing that is newly evident since 9-11-2001 is the self-loathing that has paralyzed the Country's good judgement.

It is time to kick the commie scumbags destroying our Country to the curb!

That should have happened on 9/12/01.

No, they slaughter a goat and hang the body parts around their homes on the outside to rot. The smell of death is to celebrate Eid, the celebration when they will kill all the infidels on the earth.

Yes, Hillery just celebrated the destruction of America. She is either a Traitor, or a Fool.

No matter which way she is, she is not suitable as a diplomat. She should be fired IMMEDIATELY. But she won’t be because the rest of our Government is either Traitors or Fools. Time to face the facts folks. Congress is a feral pack of dogs that don’t hunt, just kill and destroy.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

The Secretary of State celebrates the destruction of the earth by Islam as a “cherished tradition” and we can't have Christmas on Government controlled land!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Confirmed.
