Obama condemns ‘outrageous attack’ in Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador
Washington Times ^ | September 12, 2012 | Dave Boyer

President Obama said Wednesday he strongly condemns the “outrageous attack” by a mob in Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

“Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers,” Mr. Obama said in a statement. “They exemplified America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.”

Mr. Stevens and three other Americans were killed Tuesday in an attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi by protesters angry over a film that ridiculed Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

The Arab Fall that we all knew would follow the Arab Spring has started.

It's not even getting warmed up. Just wait, Obama and his idiot followers want us to attack Syria and Iran. The Sunnis are pushing for this.

Obama will probably try to win the gullible over to his side by claiming he is defending Israel or something, but make no mistake, he wants to take out Syria and Iran. If he doesn't do anything before the election, it'll be after the election. Hell, even if Romney wins somehow, I'm not so sure that Romney won't follow suit.

Has anybody run across an official response from the Libyan govt (such as it is)?

Not that it matters all that much — this is still an act of war — but I’m wondering what they have to say for themselves.

Is anyone even asking that question?

They had some excerpts of it on the Michael Medved show yesterday. He was finding it hard, on the spur of the moment, to find parts that weren’t too pornographic for his show. What I heard of it was just a really bad dialogue. Absent it being picked up in the Middle East and shown to incite rioting, nobody would bother to see this thing.

Obama’s Statement on the Muslim attacks on American missions

To all my Muslim friends. Peace be unto you in the name of Mohammed, blessed be his name.

If you MUST kill Americans, please try to refrain from hacking their bodies to pieces as it makes them difficult to identify.

Thank you.

Statement from Mitt Romney

American Embassies are AMERICAN SOIL. If you attack another American Embassy, unlike in Cairo where you morons violated our territory and destroyed property and where the Marine sentries were ordered by the Muslim friendly Obama administration to STAND DOWN, our security forces will FIRE FOR EFFECT. If necessary, I will dispatch carrier based air cover and additional ground forces to protect our people and remove them from your clutches.

The Marine Hymn contains the line “…to the shores of Tripoli.” If you wish to continue your insane tribal and sectarian madness, we will be back just long enough to bring out every American citizen then leave you to your national insanity until you’re all dead.

It’s too late, it doesn’t matter what he says now. The world will always remember the first thing said out of this administration ... and that was an apology.

It won’t matter how many times he retracts it or how forceful he gets. All the world cares about is that this adminitration apologized! for our freedom of speech.

If Romney was smart, he would realize that Obama just gave him the best campaign ad since "Springtime in Ameica".

That statement should be given heavy rotation in swing states.

Mr. Obama, diplomatics care not about your “justice” so just keep to the script.
