Both incidents [b]were sparked by hardline Muslims protesting a film made in the U.S. which insults the Muslim prophet Muhammad[/b]. Wanis al-Sharef, a Libyan Interior Ministry official in Benghazi, said the four Americans were killed when the angry mob, [b]which gathered to protest a U.S.-made film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad[/b], fired guns and burned down the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

BG45 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Because attacking our consulate on 9/11 was completely a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie12 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This just should not have happened! Did anyone notice how this hasn't happened since 1979 under the Carter administration? The Obama administration should have implemented tighter safety precautions. This is crazy.... it makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Another epic fail for der fuhrer. he essentially ordered the intelligence community to stand down so as not to antagonize our new arab friends. so no early warning...except the one the fledgling Libyan govt sent and was ignored. the ambassador tweeted to his gaming buddies that he was probably going to be killed that night. hours later, he was. so the fool sends in the marines AFTER the murder. why weren't they in place all along, esp with 9/11? oh yeah. because those people are our friends now and we have to apologize to them for being Americans. mr prez - Ambassador Stevens' blood is on YOUR hands!

Basilisa Marie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I actually think it's a good idea that Obama hasn't made a huge public political stink over this. It shows that he realizes that the extremists who perpetrated these attacks are not the norm in Libya. It is a tragedy, and I pray for the families of all those affected by it.

4588686 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Also, since English does not have an umlaut it's 'Fuehrer' not 'Fuhrer.' Not that you should take a half second to learn absolutely anything at all about the highly, highly charge slur you're throwing around in a pretty pathetic attempt at cleverness Edited September 13, 2012 by Hasan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2Dtoo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 How Obama and Friends are handling this is absurd! Apologize and go to Vegas? Romney is starting to look like the only one taking this seriously. You Catholics best pray to your God that Obama doesn't conitinue his policy of appeasment and pulls out of the Middle East entirely. There would be nothing to stop a Caliphate from forming if we do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
