So a bunch of goatherds angered over an internet video know the exact location of the ambassador's safe house. Somehow they arm themselves with rifles, RPGs and mortars with which they blast the building with accuracy and attack using infantry tactics.
I’m with you. No way the attack using massive firepower was part of the “spontaneous mob anger”. These people riot and all the time and it’s not hard to get them fired up. I don’t recall many embassy protests with heavy firepower and RPG’s. If you wanted to attack an embassy what better cover than a mob after you made sure the host nation would not respond? What better date than 9/11?
Get in and accomplish your objectives and you win.
Defenders at the embassy gun down unarmed rioters you win.
Even if the host government had no idea (I believe they knew) the radicals win if the interim government responds and quells the riots because they are siding with “the Great Satan”.
The obvious does not seem to be considered by our media. I bet they were hoping that the Marine guards or others would turn their guns on the crowds. Had that happened, you would see massive crowds rioting today.
Instead of asking hard questions about these incidents they are focused on a statement by Mitt Romney?
They had attacked this consulate in June. The Embassy posted warnings about the attacks on diplomats and citizens on it’s web site. They are nuts that they didn’t have an idea and that particular consulate wasn’t protected. These people were set up to die. I am so sickened by this.
