“Obama, Obama, there are still a billion Osamas!” (Shouted in Cairo today- Andrew McCarthy)

Nina is exactly right that the appalling statement issued by the Obama State Department, apparently prior to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Cairo today, betrays the presidents agenda to impose on Americans sharia speech suppression standards in blatant violation of the First Amendment. That, however, is far from the most egregious part of todays episode in Egypt.
To attack another countrys embassy is an act of war. Now, some will be quick to point out that our embassy was not attacked by the Egyptian regime. That is no defense. Everybody was on notice that there might be rioting today. It was in anticipation that there could be trouble that the State Department issued its despicable statement putting the onus for violence on American free speech rather than Islamist savagery. Further, it was almost exactly a year ago that an Egyptian mob stormed the Israeli embassy in Cairo, doing almost exactly what they did today: scaling the embassy walls, tearing down the Israeli flag, and replacing it with their own flag.
In that instance, as in todays, the Egyptian regime could have made certain that the embassy was secure. It chose not to. Unlike the Israelis, however, we actually pay the Egyptians nearly $1.5 billion a year in military aid funding Obama not only continued under circumstances where it was obvious Egypt would be ruled by anti-American Islamic supremacists, but also which the president would now have our bankrupt government complement with yet another billion dollars in economic assistance.
What are we getting for this largesse? Egypt has renewed relations with Iran, is seeking to purchase submarines from Germany that could be used to attack Israeli assets, is re-militarizing the Sinai in violation of the Camp David Accords, and now cannot actually, would not even protect our embassy. And all this against a background in which the Muslim Brotherhoods Supreme Guide, Mohammed Badi, called for violent jihad against the United States in 2010, cheered that excursions into Afghanistan and Iraq have put America in its death throes, and reaffirmed after the Muslim Brotherhoods electoral victories the Brotherhoods ultimate goal of a global caliphate governed by sharia.
Egypt is an enemy of the United States. We wanted free elections and we got them. What they have given us, as I argue in my imminent new book, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy, is an Egyptian regime that reflects Egypts Islamic supremacist population among the worlds worst human rights violators.
Obama, Obama, there are still a billion Osamas! they cried today as they attacked our embassy, shredded our flag, and replaced it with the al Qaeda flag the one so popular with the rebels in Libya and Syria. One of the 9/11 hijackers was an Egyptian, as is the current leader of al Qaeda, as is the Blind Sheikh. A real ally would be embarrassed. An enemy marks the day like Egypt did. The Obama administration marked the day by apologizing for free speech and declining a presidential audience to the prime minister of Israel our actual ally in the region. President Obamas calendar is very busy after all: between campaigning and rounds of golf, hes blocked a day to roll out the red carpet for Egypts new president.
Is it too much to hope that the Romney campaign might see an opportunity here to make a point about American national security and foreign policy under Obama? Remember back in 2002, back when we were following the original with us or against us Bush Doctrine back before the doctrine was warped by delusional visions of sharia democracy? Heres the question: Would they have dared storm the American embassy in Cairo on September 11, 2002?

At this point tell every Arab country that each embassy will show the purported offensive movie. When they storm the walls kill every last miserable one of them. Next day announce the same thing. Rinse and repeat. When the day comes that nobody shows to storm the walls during the movie showing, it’s time to discuss diplomatic relations with the “moderate” Muslims of the Arab world.

U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement
September 11, 2012
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

To attack another countrys embassy is an act of war. Where were the Marine "guards" guarding the embassy? Some sustained machine gun fire would have broken up the muzzie thugs very quickly. Instead, we let these bastards desecrate out flag and make the USA look like "felines", and I don't mean "cats".

That sent my blood pressure to the moon! Apparently, it was released BEFORE the attack on the embassy...sort of like an invitation.

Muslims are striking against the U.S. in Egypt and Lybia on 9/11 to celebrate that anniversary. Obama supports Islam and Obama is an enemy of the U.S.A. Obama issued an Executive order giving Amnesty to a million illegals. this is an unlawful act. Obama is acting like a dictator and has buried the U.S. in debt. The goal of Islam is world domination. It is a great evil:
http://www.faithfreedom.org/
Islam, as it is taught in the Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of Injustice, Intolerance, Cruelty, Absurdities, discrimination, Contradictions, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims and abuses the human rights of minorities and women. Islam expanded mostly by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by killing the non-believers. In Islam apostasy is the biggest crime punishable by death. Muhammad was a terrorist himself therefore terrorism cannot be separated from the true Islam. Islam means submission and it demands from its followers to submit their wills and thoughts to Muhammad and his imaginary Allah. Allah is a deity that despises reason, democracy, freedom of thought and freedom of expression.
