Clinton said anger over a movie is no excuse for violence.
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," she said. "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.

Do I have this straight.
The United States actively supported putting these people in power.
The people the United States supported just murdered the U. S. Ambassador.
Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone. This wouldn't have happened under Gaddafi.
Why can't we just buy their oil and been done with it?

I understand B-rock would never have the do anything about it, just like Carter wanted a diplomatic solution in 79 when the Iranian students overran our embassy and took 52 hostages and held them for over a year.
Where was the DSS? Why didn't we turn the Marines loose in our embassy in Egypt yesterday? The embassy is American soil.

Because, under the current admin., we are expected to lay down our lives for the greater good. One would think that the Marines would have taken out a few of them if they even tried to defend themselves. This greater good mentality is going to enslave us all; our bodies and minds will belong to the collective.

Yes it is, so wasn't that an act of war?

It is an act of war and needs to be treated as such.
They have a nation now so we have a solid, easy to find target instead of a shifting, blending target like in Afghanistan.
Withdraw all aid and personnel.
Wait until they have a high level government meeting and level the building.

Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was killed Tuesday in the attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi by protesters angry over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
According to the State Department Office of the Historian, five U.S. ambassadors have been killed by terrorists:
_Adolph Dubs, in Afghanistan, 1979
_Francis E. Meloy Jr., in Lebanon, 1976
_Rodger P. Davies, in Cyprus, 1974
_Cleo A. Noel Jr., in Sudan, 1973
_John Gordon Mein, in Guatemala, 1968
Two other U.S. ambassadors have died in plane crashes:
_Arnold L. Raphel, in Pakistan, 1988
_Laurence A. Steinhardt, in Canada, 1950
Perhaps it's time to reprise "to the shores of Tripoli" for these jackwagons.

Exactly. The logic trail is even more astonishing. So, this Israeli dude who lives in CA makes a movie that depicts their prophet as both a fraud and womanizer. The trailer to the movie enrages them so much that both Egypt and Libya attack our embassies. This makes perfect sense to do if you are a crazy person. This after our support during their little uprisings.
Stay classy middle east, stay classy.......
Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone.
I'd be perfectly happy if the U.S. didn't send one more dollar or soldier to the Middle East, not to one single country in the region - none of them. Chances of that occurring? - ZERO.

Here's something to toss around on a rainy morning:
So when does the government become responsible for the actions of unrelated organizations in it's jurisdiction?
Say the black panthers or some white supremacist bombed some embassy or another. Is that really an act of war?
I understand that we're dealing with a bit of a more complicated situation here, not to mention despicable (really? A movie?!) but I'm curious where people here individually draw the line.

Because they are now effectively eye candy with orders not to engage...
I agree, once they stick their heads over that wall, game on. It SHOULD be declared and act of war and we should send them back to the stone age... oh wait, too late.
Maybe I don't see the big picture but bring our boys home and @#$%^ the rest of the world (except our genuine allies of course).
So when does the government become responsible for the actions of unrelated organizations in it's jurisdiction?
When gun forum members in another country deem it to be responsible.

If an organization is operating in a country without that country's leaderships blessing, then it is my personal belief that the country's leadership should hunt the dogs down and make a statement that certain actions are unacceptable.
I know that's an unpopular statement when we get into the "freedom's and America" fight but you asked and I answered. No, I won't get into a "what if" fight with anyone.
How about the next time some asshole from Al Qaeda/Islamic Jihad/Abu Sayyef posts a video on youtube that says something bad about Judaism/Christianity/The West/infidels in general, we just firebomb a few hospitals in the middle east? That would make exactly as much sense as what happened in Benghazi. But that will never happen, because we're not reactionary ignorant assholes that place no value on human life. If the "governments" of these backwater hellholes cannot guarantee the traditional sanctity of diplomatic missions, then we need to not only withdraw all diplomats and aid, but blockade their seaports. They already hate us, perhaps we should give them a reason to fear us again...
Just a reminder of a foreign policy that DOES work

Right before attacking and killing American citizens. The hosting government does have an obligation to protect foreign embassies from extremist nationals.
I think "act of war" is a bit over the top, more a case of simple self-defense. Try that crap at the White House (or my house) you'll get your ass shot and it should be no different in this case.

Pancho does make a good point, and I'd like to see what the Libyan government does to exact justice in the situation... my bet though is not much, if anything at all. I'm not for going to war with another country, but if I was president right now, I'd put through for more Marines to be posted at US embassies in these troubled spots and give them a little less strict ROE- basically say "If you feel threatened or if they illegally breach the walls of US Sovereign Territory (which is what our embassies are) you are free to engage at will.

We do use our Military...inside the Embassy.
FYI - The Marine Security Guard detachments in Embassies and consulates are responsible for the physical security of the facility (Note - This means they are primarily concerned with the SCIFs and the classified material. Not the people, although their safety is often a side effect).
The MSG detail falls under the command of the Regional Security Officer (RSO) and ARSOs, federal agents (with the Diplomatic Security Service or DSS) who are responsible for the safety of the American Citizens assigned to that facility. The RSO answers to the Ambassador (at an embassy) or the Consulate General (at a.. you guessed it, consulate).
The perimeter of the Embassy will be secured by a Host Country National guard force (or LGF, local guard force). They are either cops from the city where the embassy is located, military from the host country, privately contracted security or a mix of all of the above.
The Ambo or CG can (and do) dictate what measures will be taken to defend embassy grounds. Often this will be per SOP.
The movement policies will be dictated by a threat analysis of the area and will vary greatly from country to country and region to region.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I heard in 2008 that Obama was going to close Gitmo which was festering all this hate. Imagine had he not done that how much worse this attack could have been! /sarc
All those leftists talking about this or that being the reason the terrorists hate us dont realise that it is the simple fact that we exist that they want to kill us.

If they expect us to believe they were taking his dead, half-naked body to the hospital, they are either lying or completely stupid. Either way, they shouldn't be trusted with the positions they hold.

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

"They are to blame simply for not withdrawing their personnel from the premises, despite the fact that there was a similar incident when Abu Yahya al-Libi was killed," he said, referring to the death of the deputy chief of al-Qaeda in a U.S. drone strike in June. "It was necessary that they take precautions. It was their fault that they did not take the necessary precautions."

If we had an administration with some back bone we should send word back- well now it's your fault all aid to your backwards, fucked up, country is now being cancelled. Good luck with the next revolution, we won't come help even if you beg.
Question: would they have even defeated Ghaddafi if we hadn't helped?

Gary Johnson's statement (http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/gov-gary-johnson-releases-statement-regarding-libya-attack)regarding the attack in Libya:
It is tragic when Americans serving their country are murdered, and we both mourn their loss and honor their service.
Part of honoring that service is to ask the obvious question: What U.S. interest is being served by putting our people – and our money – in places where U.S. personnel can be killed by extremists over a video? We launched millions of dollars worth of missiles to bring down Gaddafi, and this is what we get. We hail and encourage the outbreak of an Arab Spring in Egypt, send them billions of dollars we can’t afford, — and our embassy is breached and our flag desecrated.
In Afghanistan, we continue to put our troops in harm’s way 10 years after our post-9/11 mission was complete. Why?
The airwaves are filled today with political chest-pounding and calls for decisive action. The most decisive and prudent action we can take today is to stop trying to manage governments and peoples on the other side of the globe who don’t want to be managed, get our people out of impossible situations that have no direct U.S. interest, and immediately stop sending money to regimes who clearly cannot or will not control their own countries.
Protecting America with a strong national defense and a rational foreign policy is our leaders’ most basic responsibility. But let us not confuse national security with senseless intervention where our interests are clearly not being served.

60 posts in so this was probably covered. This movie has been out since July so the excuse the attack was motivated by it are weak as best.
The was a planned protest at the Embassy for 9/11 calling for the release of the blink sheik.
These protestors had RPG's and have knowledge of safe houses and security plans. This was a planned attack by the Muslim Brotherhood against a US target and the POTUS went to bed while this was happening....
Must keep head from exploding.
It's a good thing that we are in the process of writing off Egyptian debt to the tune of a billion dollars.
"Nearly 16 months after first pledging to help Egypt (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/egypt/index.html?inline=nyt-geo)’s failing economy, the Obama administration is nearing an agreement with the country’s new government to relieve $1 billion of its debt as part of an American and international assistance package intended to bolster its transition to democracy, administration officials said.

Story (http://bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/09/13/winchester-native-one-four-americans-killed-libya-consulate-attack-benghazi/cBPcnSCVqmEDJA7ewADhVK/story.html)
A Winchester native, who was a former Navy SEAL, was one of four Americans killed in Libya by a mob of Islamic extremists, his sister said today.
Glen Doherty was 42 years old and was working for a private security company when he was killed with US Ambassador John Christopher Stevens in the American consulate in Benghazi Wednesday during what may have been a coordinated terrorist attack.
“He was on security detail and he was protecting the ambassador and also helping the wounded’’ when he was killed, said his sister, Katie Quigley of Marblehead.
Quigley said her family grew up in Winchester and that her brother wanted a life “filled with adrenaline… He was always an adventure seeker.’’
During his 20s, he became a professional ski instructor in Utah, attended flight school in Arizona, but also promised himself that if he had not chosen a profession by the time he turned 30, then he would join the Navy and became a SEAL. During his years in the service, he was trained as a sniper and a medical corpsman, she said.
Quigley said her brother was a SEAL for seven years, and then left the service about four years ago, and started working for a private company hired to provide security for American officials overseas.
During his Navy career, Doherty served in Iraq and Afghanistan. While working for the private company he also spent time in those countries as well as Israel and Kenya. Quigley said her brother had previously done a three-month stint in Libya and returned there on Sept. 5.
Quigley said her family was officially notified around 5 p.m. Wednesday that he had been killed. She believes that the incident at the consulate was not a random act of a few people upset about an inflammatory movie about the Muslim prophet Mohammed.
“I never thought he’d be another victim of September 11,’’ Quigley said.
“You have to understand. Glen was highly trained. He was the best of the best. He wouldn’t have gone down for some protest over a movie,’’ Quigley said. “This was serious, well-planned, well-executed. He was very good at what he did.’’

Supposedly this video is the reason for the atrocity...

Yup, even though the movie came out in July, the violence had nothing to do with Beeho and Biden's campaign slogan of "GM is alive and OSama is dead". Nothing like spiking the football to get the islamofacists fired up...
