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.

"They toasted their success at setting the world on fire."

The world is afire and they celebrate ANYTHING! Especially when SOS ignored a 48 hour warning that could have made things turn out quite differently.

Just sayin'.....

By the way, did they celebrate Easter with anyone?

Of course. Don't you remember when they had their first White House "egg roll" and invited homosexual couples for the first time, along with their kids?

Yeah, you know, Easter?

Thanks Sub-Driver. Here’s some commentary from a site I, and I think all here, ordinarily avoid. But of course, it showed up as a news search hit on Google:

[snip] The war in Libya ended in October 2011 with the barbaric lynch-mob murder of Gaddafi. At the time, Secretary of State Clinton gloated over the former Libyan leader’s fate, laughingly declaring, “We came, we saw, he died.” Speaking in the aftermath of Stevens’ killing Wednesday, Clinton declared, “How could this happen in a country we helped liberate in a city we helped save from destruction?” ...The same elements that she was lauding as “heroes” when they were sodomizing and lynching Gaddafi are the “savages” she and Obama now say must be “brought to justice.” [/snip — Bill Van Auken, World Socialist Web Site]

So Hillary and the Muslim Ambassador are partying it up before the bodies of the four slain victims are even interred in the ground?

Did they play "Pin the Tail on the Goat", too?

The State Department party suite should have been closed for the night with black bunting on the door.

The outside gate of the State Department complex should have black wreathes hanging on them until we see the murderers of our men hanging by their heels from lamp posts in downtown Benghnazi.

Adults who never tasted goat meat as children lack an enzyme in their intestines necessary to digest it, and get nauseous. I think they were supposed to divide the goat among the poor, who probably never ate goat meat either as children. So it’s the holiday when you make poor downtown Washington-ians sick to their stomachs. How apropo.

So. Did they slaughter a goat infidel together and eat it?

Fixed it.

“The absurd becomes the more absurd,”

A perfect, perfect summation.

Are we the only people who see this?

"..this is a cherished tradition here at the State Department.”

Bullshit. Not in my life. This crap never went on until 9/11. Pardon my French. One wonders WTH other freakish debauchery they do at the State Department?

Puke.

I guess Mubarak considers himself lucky. If he had the dinner with Obama they would have eaten a dog.
