Before we assassinated Khaddaffi, he said the rebels were being led by former guantanamo detainees.

I’m sure she is now ENTIRELY scripted by Obama. When will she have guts enough to quit. Now...would be perfect.

Ambassador Stevens gets the Vince Foster treatment.....

... And do the Clintons get away with it yet once again?

If Senate and Congressional Republicans had any cojones they would be grabbing every mike they can to reiterate that:

1) Obama and Clinton are incompetent
2) Every move Obama and Clinton makes over there (in every country) works to the benefit of the Muslim Brotherhood
3) What happened in Benghazi was criminal negligence on the part of the Obama Administration and — especially — of the State Department
4) Clinton should resign or be fired and be investigated by a special prosecutor,
5) Obama should be impeached for aiding and abetting our al-Qaeda enemies.

Obama has reduced Hillary to a useless little nub of acquiesence, and I’ve never quite figured out how this happened. While I never liked her in any way, I thought she would have been aggressive enough to assert herself, but she has let herself be ignored and even humiliated since the very beginning, and now she seems to have accepted this as the norm. Bill seems cool with it,too.

There’s nothing Obama could have on them that isn’t already known, and in any case, Bill Clinton is protected by the fact that he could be shown holding a dagger and rising from a bloody corpse and people would still think he was a really nice, cool guy, and Hillary would be protected by Bill’s image. So I can’t figure out why she’s doing this...and I don’t think she’s ever going to get the guts to quit.

In fact, I don’t think she even wants to.

Who would you believe, someone who knew Stevens and discussed his concerns with him, or Hitlary, who most likely never talked with Stevens personally?

"Conflicting stories again..."

That's normal for this White House and Hillary. Who would believe someone who lied about being under fire, where their daughter was on 9/11, and where those Rose Law Firm records were? That's just a smidgen of the lies HIllary's told over the years.

"I’m sure she is now ENTIRELY scripted by Obama."

It'll be nice to see her thrown under the bus by Obama. Afterall, the Clintons were known for doing that themselves when they were in the White House. Seems appropriate that it should happen to them at the hands of a fellow Democrap.

Stevens apparently was a Sufi Muslim.

These Salafist groups really despise Sufism, a fact that Stevens was keenly aware of.

A US Sufi ambassador? You bet he was a target.

President Nixon was run out of office because his administration supposedly tried to sneak a peek at some Democrat papers and then lied and tried to cover up.
The Obama administration has lied and tried to cover up their incompetence that resulted in the deaths of at least four Americans including a United States Ambassador who represented all of us. Which one is worse? Where is the front page story in The Washington Post? Where are Woodward and Bernstein? Where’s Robert Redford? And where are all the dipstick Democrats screaming, “Obama lied and Americans died!”

I am afraid you are in for a dissappointment. These idiots will remain in power. This story is already dying down, notwithstanding the alternative media. This is one of the biggest F-ups in presidential history, bigger than Jimmy Carters clusters, and the MSM still is covering the 47% Romney comments. I just saw it on TV. Men are dying because these peoples incompetence, because of their directives to Benghazi (why was Stephens there all). Now it is being reported that Obama is 5% points ahead of Romney. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat...it becomes self-fulfilling.

I am afraid the country cannot stand another 4 year assault by an unrestrained obama.

I would say the fact that Hillary! keeps letting herself get humiliated indicates that we don't know everything there is to know about her, but maybe obama does (and he probably has photos too).

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2207138/Anderson-Cooper-admits-CNN-slain-American-ambassadors-journal-inside-U-S-consulate-Libya-secretly-used-reporting.html

CNN host Anderson Cooper admitted on Friday that the network had come across the late Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ personal journal and used parts of it in its reporting without disclosing the source.

On Wednesday on his show Anderson Cooper 360, the journalist told Senator John McCain that ‘a source familiar with Ambassador Stevens’ thinking told us that in the months before his death he talked about being worried about the never-ending security threats that he was facing in Benghazi, and specifically about the rise in Islamist extremism and growing al Qaeda presence.’

Cooper added that ‘the source also mentioned [Stevens] being on an al Qaeda hit list.’

Only to be reversed next week when proof is released and she and obammy will once again “clarify” their lies into something just short of the truth.

Huma probably had hidden cameras. Wouldn’t be surprised if she shared the videos / photos with fellow Muslim Brotherhood traveler, 0bama.

That’s interesting, the first I’ve heard of it. Any sources in particular?

Interesting. I didn’t know that Stevens was a Sufi. Has that been published somewhere?

Sufis in Islamic countries are considered heretics and are big targets for “orthodox” Muslims, although in the West, Sufis, who are often Western converts, actually do a lot of advocating for orthodox (that is, vicious) Muslims.

Do you know if he was part of the Marabitun movement? This was popular among British intellectuals - and still is - and has made inroads in Latin America and the United States, through European convert immigrants. Some of members of ETA became Muslims through this group. It’s not Sufism, though.

That said, I don’t think he was killed because he was a Sufi, or gay or anything else other than the fact that he was an American and represented America there.

Joe and Valerie were concerned with Niger’s yellowcake, not Nigeria.
