Whether they had military protection or not is a question to be asked. To exploit the deaths of 4 innocent Americans to further partisan politics is typical fetishistic behavior by AAA. Reports have a a RPG attack taking place at a location away from the embassy while the four were driving in a car. A military convoy escort may have protected them, or could have been the target of multiple rpg attacks with more deaths.
They should go just to evacuate Americans from the embassy and the country. We close the embassy, cut off all aid, point a nuke that way in case we need to use it some day and that's that. Those people and their new governments are NOT our friends. They are our enemy. The ONLY country in the region that is our friend is Israel. Even Saudi Arabia is not our friend. They just use us. Why Obama didn't have those embassies under heavy military protection is a mystery and a major mistake. What was he thinking? There should have been Marines there already with 50 cal. defensive positions. Anyone who goes over the embassy wall is taken out - shoot first and ask questions later. I'm tired of this apologist president. Get the hell out Obama and let someone with a clue take over.
It's pretty sad when our very first reponse is to apologize for Muslims getting their feeelings hurt by a movie. Now Team Obama is trying to explain ourselves from a position of weakness. We're sorry you got your feelings hurt, but could you please refrain from all the killing. This is now what passes for a sternly worded message. This administration is an epic and abject failure.
My feelings too. Their response would be that they want to retain influence there. Guide them on the right path. How's that working out?
<s>Nobel Peace Prize</s> War presidents do tend to get re-elected. I wonder how many US soldiers deaths it will take to get Odumbo re-elected?
Yep. This was all so very predictable when Obama go thimself all in a lather over the Arab Spring. There's something about beared revolutionaries that liberals just can't resist.
Probably, but then the Odumbo regime has a history of that already. His disciples don't care. They'll do anything for their messiah.
This whole thing, multiple events actually, are horrible. Part of me wants to go Seal Team Six on Libya. Netenyahu is really pissing me off as well. Fuck Iran, and not sure what to make of Egypt. It's a friggin movie, and now the Rep's are trying to make some sort of hay out of all this? Just too nuts. Everyone needs to settle down, take a deep breath IMO. BUT, we must act, act wisely, but act.
