Mob sets fire to US consulate in Benghazi, staffer dies
An armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam, attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi
An American staff member of the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi has died following fierce clashes at the compound, Libyan security sources said on Wednesday.
“One American staff member has died and a number have been injured in the clashes,” Abdel-Monem Al-Hurr, spokesman for Libya’s Supreme Security Committee, said, adding that he did not know the exact number of injured and could not say what the cause of death was.
An armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam, attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi on Tuesday and set fire to the building, witnesses reported.
The attack happened on the same day as a similar group of hardliners waving black banners attacked the US embassy in Cairo and tore down the US flag, but it was not immediately clear if the two incidents were coordinated.

What the hell is an Ambassador and diplomatic staff doing in a place like Libya in the first place? Do we really put our Foreign Service people into places with no real government or police force? How long has that been going on?

In the last week Canada removed all their citizens and closed down their embassy in Iran and kicked out the Iranian dipolmats within the last week? And if so.. Why was America slow on the uptake regarding the pending violence from Islamic fascists? God never thought I would see the day that Canada is the new America…

Muhammad, Mohammad, whatever, pedophile, evil zealot! May he drink the blood of pigs and dogs in hell forever! Islam is a cult of evil, it serves neither man nor god but Satan! I declare my own war on islam and muslims (non-capitalization deliberate)! I spit on you mothers, urinate on your fathers and wipe my butt with pages from a Koran!

Here’s the question: Where were the Marines that were to defend the compound? Will we find out they were under orders not to defend? Not to use deadly force but to phucking flee? I guess we don’t have the ‘Stand your ground’ rule in mooslem countries so as not to offend when they try to kill us.

@Corky, I am not sure how I feel about the pics being shown. However, I do realize that it allows us all to see the ENTIRE picture of what we are dealing with here. We(American’s) have become so decensitized(sp) in general that the pic is the lil extra that is needed to get to feel the full realm of our emotions. Please forgive me, if this makes no sense.

How many more times will this kind of thing go unanswered? It’s easy to become the irrational, over-the-top, foaming at the mouth “Nuke em all” kind of guy without much thought. At one level, I really understand that but I try to be more insightful. Each time these murderous islamic sub-humans act this way I suspect a few more decent people become that guy. Quite honestly, I think more and more of us are feeling that way every damn day. I like to think that I am usually a rational person but sometimes I admit not so much. Is it worth our American effort to behave in such a benevolent manner with these animals? These fanatical islamic scum-bags repeatedly prove themselves worthy of the regard given a filth covered cockroach crushed under a fetid heel. They consistently surrender their humanity in deference to a fictional moon-god dreamed up by an insane, blood-thirsty, pedophile from the 6th century. At what point does our nation embrace the reality that islam is beyond redemption because it defines evil. Islam must be eradicated for the sake of all of humanity? Why do we have nukes if we refuse to use them? Why does our nation do nothing in the face of these atrocities? BRING HOME THE TROOPS AND SEND IN THE NUKES STARTING WITH MECCA! Where is the General George S. Patton of our day? We desperately need a leader with a backbone of steel and unshakable resolve but instead we get a limp-wristed, mom-jeans-wearing, marxist, kenyan who is the embodiment of pusillanimity. My government today is disgusting! I am ashamed that they apologize to islamic vermin for a stupid you-tube video. HEY US GOVERNMENT STOP APOLOGIZING FOR LIBERTY AND START DEFENDING IT!

The offending movie, which is being conspicuously unnamed by the media, is called ‘Innocence of Muslims’.
From the Egyptian newspaper ahramonline:
“Nearly 3,000 demonstrators gathered at the embassy in protest over a film deemed offensive to the Prophet Mohammed which was produced by expatriate members of Egypt’s Christian minority resident in the United States.”

Am crying this morning after seeing the photo of Ambassador Chris Steven’s body being dragged around by his murderers.
Unfortunately this is not surprising as Obama and his minions have been making our country more and more vulnerable.

Can’t you just see a hunched over Obama sitting in a chair in the far corner:
“Valerie what should our response be?”
And to his speechwriter: “What do you think?”
and “Reggie, what about you?”

We have to leave all of the countries in the middle east. Their form of democracy is sharia law. They respect no other form of law. In the end all non Muslims will meet the same fate. And it is time to stop all aid of any kind to all of the countries in the middle east, except Israel. Let them spend their own oil money to kill each other. And to speed up the process beam in all the anti Mohammad and Islam we can. What a waste it has been, and now we have a dead Ambassador and others. All we can do is pray for them and their families.

Peggy Noonan is on FNC this morning bloviating about how Romney “..isn’t doing himself any favors (by inserting himself) into a situation “When really bad things happen..” She’s accusing him of politicizing the deaths by saying how sorry he is for the victims’ families. Peggy Noonan is a first class ass.

Well, this will make you sick – the response from Hitlery and Obowing One to the animals dragging the Ambassador’s dead body through the streets.
“…UPDATE: Hillary Clinton just said the “protesters” dragged his body to the hospital.
UPDATE: Barack Obama also just said the Libyans were carrying the ambassador to the hospital….”

Just like a Leftist in the “I got mine” dept. Stevens was married with 2 children. Do you think clinton or obama care about that? And what abt Stevens. Not blaming the victim here, but you’d think he would have been more insistent about the U.S. getting out of there. He’s seems like another person who thinks wild animals make great house pets.

I got through yesterday with a certain sort of numbness: not really apathy, just that after eleven years of memorials, there’s no real new news, and the three thousand still stay dead.
Christopher Stevens’s death ripped that scab right off. I am furious that we cannot count on our government to protect us OR to avenge us.
