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.

just saw jug ears putting down this film but that is our free speech of which he does nto agree with.
This is an act of war, this was planned, no marines shooting back why?
Why was bozo not woken up abotu this and why did he wait to release his comments?
jug ears is defending muslims again as well as the state dept and th emedia is attacking Romney from what I saw with questions liek what makes you better than the President on foreign policy.
Funny how they never asked that in 2008 to their messiah.
We have the right to defend the truth and all that is good. We have the means. It just has to be fair. eye for an eye. One diplomat for one diplomat.
If hate of the cross is legitimate, then hate of those acts like divorce or sexual immorality or child sacrifice is legitimate.
Christian artists have a right to portray the truth, and little cottages of light have no meaning to those living in the darkness except for fantasy. The photographs of aborted is truth and should be on tv.
- AND stepped up security for our diplomatic missions around the globe!
That sure teaches a lesson not soon forgotten to our friends and enemies alike.
Any American working in a Muslim country while 0bama is President is either REALLY naive or REALLY brave, probably the former.
Could well be the "Fall" of the Obama presidency.
After all the U.S. blood and treasure he's bestowed on these ingrates, they spit in his eye on 9/11. In response, they get an apology from Hillary.
Bowing to barbarians is pathetic. Do Americans really want to re-elect this weak, spineless president?
“I object.”
“Objection overruled.”
“Well then, I strongly object.”
Obama is the Demi Moore of foreign policy and national security. The little fagots Muslim brothers know they are dealing with a twinky.
The rats in Libya have already scattered and our Egyptian "allies" will deal with the miscreants there. Seems like Obama's opportunity for a tough response is limited.
Obama created this situation. He owns it. Whether it resulted from a naive approach to Muslim affairs or from deliberate connivance, the buck stops with him. And he looks like a fool.
Reagan was wrong...
He was just a man...
By not retaliating properly against such attacks the US invites more of them. See your first war agains the muslims, then known as the barbary corsairs.
I agree - it’s not about a movie. It’s September 11th.
One quote...
“When the political winds shift, I will stand with the Muslims.”
Where will he stand - in front of two burning embassies and a dead ambassador, perhaps?
Nice Arab Spring you gave us, Obi...
bump for later
Hey Hillary! They came ... they conquered ...
Lynching is not so funny now?
DETERRENCE. NOT DONE WITH WORDS. NUFF SAID.
Romney’s response, from our friends at Weasel Zippers:
Don’t mean to sound insensitive or callous-—ttthhhhhbbbbppp———yes I do. It sounds to me like our diplomatic folks had it coming. Apologizing in advance for an American movie of any sort was out of line and if that’s all it takes to set off a bunch of these sister bangin’ inbred Muzzies then let that be a lesson learned. These 12th century camel cuddlers don’t understand anything but overwhelming force and if you want to do business with them you had better be armed to the teeth and ready to use force without blinking. If not, shut it down and come home.————————— Showing weakness is nothing but an invitation to get yourself encroached.———————just a full grown American infidel who is armed to the teeth adjourning now to wrap another page of my personal koran in dried pigpoo and burning it in their dishonor. C’mon over Muckmood-—we’ll start your re-training exercises as soon as you get here.
In a different time, with Americans running the government, yes.
Now...not so much.
If I was Romney, I’d have come right out and said it:
Obama said he’d stand by the Muslims if the political winds shift. Well, they shifted all right, and the winds are carrying the odor of burning US Embassies, the image of a Dead American Ambassador, and the stench of foreign policy FAILURE…
I would resign as ambassador before I would let such a statement be issued from my embassy. Having failed to resign yesterday, she should certainly resign today to protest the failures of the president whom she serves and who’s complete and total uselessness led to the death of her counterpart in Libya.
And she should make it clear why she is resigning.
Both are Traitor Losers who hate America!
Jimmy Carter's presidency was doomed by the Iranian hostage crisis after the US embassy in Tehran was stormed by Islamist extremists following the Iranian revolution.
A year after the 52 Americans were taken hostage, Carter lost the 1980 election. The hostages were released just as President Ronald Reagan, who defeated Carter, was sworn in.
