Anyone noticing a “trend” here. The same flawed logic that led to Brian Terry’s death is also at work in Egypt. Marines not permitted to carry live ammunition, and instead forced to use bean bags and pixie dust.
(Via WFB) U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.
Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.” (more…)
Thanks to short-sighted federal “leakers” this guy has nothing except dodging Jihadist bullets to look forward to for the rest of his life….. Then again, maybe the Obama administration was just *helping* speed up the process…..
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities have identified a southern California man once convicted of financial crimes as the key figure behind the anti-Muslim film that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official said Thursday.
**Snip, it is not “a movie” that drives rabid hatred, it is an ideology. An Islamic ideology. This insufferable media-obfuscation places the blame for the hate upon the hated. Sorry, AP and your liberally minded, legacy media, cohorts. The “cause” for mob violence is the desire of the mob… /SD
Attorney General Eric Holder said that Justice Department officials had opened a criminal investigation into the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other diplomats killed during an attack on the American mission in Benghazi. It was not immediately clear whether authorities were focusing on the California filmmaker as part of that probe. (more…)
I’m done. DONE. F**KING DONE…. with this piece of S**T President. Who the f**k does he think he is to call ANY Libyan offical with THANKS for their support. Seriously? This p**ck works for us….. FOR US.
President Obama knows that Ambassador Stevens was “given up” to savage terrorists by the security forces of the Libyan Government. He knows this.
“Every Friday in the Jihad world it’s ‘Riot Friday’ against anything anti-western” says Syndicated Columnist, NY Times Best Selling Author, and CEO of ‘Twitchy.com’, Michelle Malkin, as she does her best to explain and analyze the recent US Embassy attacks to FNC’s Sean Hannity.
Cue the audio visual demonstration:(Via Al Monitor) Islamic forces have called for a million-man demonstration on Friday [September 14] in protest of a film that insults the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. A number of Coptic Egyptian immigrants in the United States took part in the production of the amateur Youtube video.
Muslim Brotherhood youths announced on their Facebook pages their solidarity with calls for the demonstration, saying they would participate in it despite a formal decision made by the party not to call for protests. […]
WARNING GRAPHIC TRUTH – Most of you who have been around a while know that I rarely source US media for the Truth in overseas issues regarding the Middle East. Indeed, as you are witnessing today the Obama friendly worshipping media are desperately trying to obfuscate away from the reality of President Obama’s ineptitude….. They are on the “lets blame Romney for talking too soon” bandwagon in an effort to distract the sheeple….. But I digress.
Various news outlets in the Middle East, not the fringe, but the muslim mainstream press, are reporting the detailsabout Ambassador Stevens assassination. Which includes the following specifics:
….”the U.S. ambassador to Libya was raped sexually before killing by gunmen who stormed the embassy building in Benghazi last night to protest against the film is offensive to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)”.
“The sources said that “Ambassador was killed and representation of his body in a manner similar to what happened with Gaddafi, such as murder.”
We know that Gaddafi was raped, sexually assaulted, genitals mutilated and removed, prior to, during and following his death. Apparently, Ambassador Christopher Stevens suffered the same fate during the 6 hours his body was missing. (more…)
In October 2011 we posted the following discussion thread: Look at the flags in this march photograph dated 10/28/11. Is there ANY doubt what the intentions of the Benghazi rebels are? Seriously.
I’ve got two words for: Morsi, Abdel-Jalil, Assad, Ahmadinejad, and all like minded Islamic Ideologues, and they ain’t ‘Merry Christmas’.
On what basis could this man possibly think in a free society there would be any legal grounds for action against a movie maker. Oh yeah, wait, the Muslim Brotherhood knows nothing about “free society”….. nevermind. And I’ll betcha he ain’t got issues with the movies belittling Christianity…… ya’ think?
(Reuters) — Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi asked the Egyptian embassy in Washington to take legal action in the United States against makers of a film attacking the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, the official state news agency said on Wednesday.
Morsi had requested the mission take “all legal measures”, the MENA agency said, without giving further details on what that might involve. (read more)
…..a “new era of American leadership” that has made the U.S. “safer and stronger and more respected in the world.” “Because we’re leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward America”
This is how the media rolls…. This is how the leftists roll…… This is what happens when your chosen President is a complete failure. Instead of critiquing the Obama administration’s ineptitude, weakness, complacency and leading from behind, they ignore the failure of President Obama and the State Dept. and attack Romney with feigned outrage for daring to criticize him.

Make NO MISTAKE what has occurred here, and what WILL CONTINUE. We have been following all the various aspects of the Libyan crisis since before February 2011 (See drop down site search box Egypt/Libya 1 AND 2).
Ambassador Stevens dragged into street as trophy – Remember Mogadishu? Same/Same
This is a highly coordinated, and intentional, attack against the West by the exact same “rebels” that Hillary Clinton and President Obama supported. Please remember the role of Samantha Powers, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton, in convincing President Obama to protect these EXACT murderers in 2011 during the siege of Benghazi.
We repeatedly told people that Mustafa Abdel Jalil, interim president and former Gadaffi official, was a “puppet”, a ruse and a distraction intended to give al-qaeda operatives vis-a-vi Hillary’s “rebels” influence. The first person Jalil reached out to was Iran’s President Ahmadinejad. (more…)
