So the deadly 91112 attack allegedly happened at a US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya as the result of a movie? And 50 people have been identified as those involved? OK.

What if there isn't a US Consulate in Benghazi, only Tripoli, according to the US Department of State list of such US Consulates, Embassies and Missions?

And the movie wasn't even real, just a dubbed version of another film about "Master George?"

This whole *story* is getting rather strange.....

So the western-backed intervention in Libya, complete with armed foreign freedom fighters, didn't result in that dog biting its master in the ass, it was a dubbed movie that was the cause?

Spontaneous attack or credible information of an imminent attack. It keeps Changing....

According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.

Reminds me of scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef a few decades ago. There was a Russian diver on the dive charter. The Aussies, Canucks and the 'Mericans on board laughed at him regarding Tass news reporting being nothing but government propaganda. He coolly responded that the difference between him and those ridiculing him was that at least he knew he was watching government-sponsored propaganda....



Priceless.

they would absolutely put their loyalty to the Prophet over the consulate. The deaths are all nothing compared to insulting the Prophet."

Next President should make our national religion Islam and totallyy mindfuck these yayhoos

Its dependant on girth. Nostrils and ear canals are available for the less endowed

eliminate the taxpayers dollars going to Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan and others two faced entities. Let em eat cake and dine on their hate not
our dollars.

Haha word just came out that he sleeps naked and eats peanut butter. Not in that order.

Safe house was attacked also.

Since the US embassy to Libya is located in Tripoli, why were all the US diplomatic corps at a "consultate" in Benghazi? Or is Benghazi a suburb of Tripoli? I didn't try to check on that.

Benghazi was the capital of the folks who brought down Mallowmar. (NTC)

I don't believe that the new .gov of Libya would do this. A small group of wingnuts, yes.

We don't need to arm another bunch of future wingnuts. Yes, we need an embassy, apparently armed to the teeth, to suuport our interests in the area, but the USSR is dead, and communism isn't the threat it once was. Time for us and GB to sit one of these things out and let France or Germany take the lead for once. This is closer to their back yard than ours.

The govt of Labia would totally do this, it's a shiny object to distract from the real issues. Our govt would do the same . Al Queda is the pass go and collect 200 billion for free card that both sides play to get the sheep to nod their heads in support.

Getting any country besides the US & GB to take a lead role in a turbulant Middle East solution would be a real stretch. I just do not see it happening any time soon. China, Russia, and the rest, I get the feeling they simply laugh at our attempts to bring peace and democracy to a region of the world that for centuries has never known such a thing. Does not matter how much muny we throw at the problem...These folks simply have their collective mad on I'm not sure there is anything the civilized world can do to chage that...

Just my .02

Word.



Our strategic "caring" in an effort to promote democracy is our weakness and arguably ultimately a possible demise. We believe we can save them from themselves.

China and Russia crush these type of issues in their countries justas Clausewitz says to. If you don't crush their hopes and spirits an insurgency will never be relinquished. I haven't read On War in several years so pardon my paraphrasing. You guys remember that Muslim uprising a few years ago in Russia? Heard anything since?? Putin annihilated that whole village I am sure. China had a little uprising as well. That got nipped in the butt real quick. The difference? Selective adherance to the Geneva Convention and a population that dare not question its gubments actions.. And that folks, is why we will never crush these insurgencies.

Don't disagree with you at all. Just hate to see us send more of our guys into yet another meat grinder.

Andy...I totally agree. Our troops risk their lives and I don't like it.

I for one would like to see a day soon when our guys are back home with their families and we are an energy independent North America, free from these goat eating folks who hate us so much.

Anyone else recall Obama saying that he would diplomatically "talk" out any issues with these people?

C'mon, you remember.

Mr. PeaceMaker President, how's that working for you?

.....and employed.
