'Allah-u-Akbar': State Department unclassifies first official photos from aftermath of Benghazi...
Daily Mail ^ | June 21, 2013 | David Martosko In Washington

A set of seven stunning photographs emerged Thursday, showing the first official glimpse of the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2012 terror attack on the U.S. Consulate Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya that left US. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead.

The grainy, scanned pictures, released by the advocacy group Judicial Watch, were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request lodged with the U.S. Department of State. They are the first images of the Benghazi attack released by the State Department.

Three of them show Arabic-language spray paint graffiti. According to translations provided to MailOnline by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, they likely read 'Thrones of HamzaIn'; 'Allah-u Akbar'; and 'Unity of ranks.' The group's translator emphasized that his analysis was preliminary.

'Allah-u-Akbar' is a familiar rallying cry among Islamist radicals, meaning 'God is great.'

Pics of “allahu akbar” graffiti sprayed on walls are initially classified... why?

Oh, yeah... tough to push that “it’s the video’s fault for the ‘spontaneous’ attack” narrative when the evidence clearly says otherwise.

Benghazi is where Ambassador Stevens worked, so to Obama this is just another minor case of "Workplace Violence".

Shocked upon learning of these things in the Washington Post next week, pResident Obama decided to send even more Libyan munitions to the Syrian Islamic Front, particularly Jabhat al-Nusra, composed largely of former Iraqi insurgents and which has sworn allegiance to al Quaida.

The WH press secretary: “If at first you don’t succeed ... and we spy with our little eye what you freepers are doing. FYI, thoughtcrime doesn’t entail death. TC IS death.”

That phrase grates me every time I see it. They weren't just 3 other random people. They had names.

Caption on the 4th picture: “A protester reacts...”

Protester? Really? Gee, maybe it’s a trick of the light, but that sign he’s carrying looks to me to be shaped an awful lot like an automatic firearm.

Obama wanted Osama,
he called the Seals.
Seals needed backup,
They got Dailtone.

And, let it not be forgotten, if not for these three, FORTY PEOPLE would have died in Benghazi because Obama couldn't be bothered to send help and the rest of the US government is too craven to stand up for their sworn duty.

Nothing ...

Found this possibly relating to “unity of ranks”.

Muslim Brotherhood Claims Egypt’s Presidency
June 25, 2012

EXCERPT

Morsi, in his first public speech following the announcement of his victory, sounded like a broken record. He said all the right things about “inclusion,” made all the right noises about representing all of Egypt, and made sweet sounds about democracy and unity:

Egypt, the nation and the people, is in need for a unity of ranks and word so that this great and patient people could reap the fruits of its sacrifices.
