“And who looks to Al Arabiya News for information about anything?”

I sometimes check the English versions of several Arab websites when our news media leaves me wanting more information. In this case, I think that I have an obligation to understand and identify friend and foe so that I can properly analyze world events.

As to my point, there is a large proportion of the population in Libya who are not radicalized. In this instance, I think that what happened is that a group of young men broke into the consular building to steal things. Young people do such things in our country too. It is not right, but it is not evil in an Al Qaeda sense.

I believe President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton committed malfeasance and were derelict in their duties. Obama apparently believes that an IPad is better than the real thing which I find, um interesting and disturbing. My humble prayer is that this whole mess disqualifies Hillary from even remotely considering running in 2016 but that is a bit unrealistic as long as the MSM maintains its power.

All I ask is that you and others not jump to conclusions so quickly. I provided info on a video with an English translation showing a man attempting to check Ambassador Steven’s pulse. People who are intent on evil do not normally do such things.

In another article I provided links that show that kindness exists in Libya and that Ambassador Stevens was loved and will be missed by many good people in Libya. He is our martyr and we should honor him in a manner that he would appreciate.

As I learn more details, if they are worth discussing I will bring them up.

One of the staffers said that the "group of young men" were firing mortars at them as they left to get to the safe house. That's usually not how vandals operate in sunny Florida.
