US Ambassador to Libya and 3 US Marines Killed.
« on: September 12, 2012, 07:28:26 AM »
The US Ambassador to Libya along with 3 US Marines were killed yesterday, September 11th, in a planned attack against our embassy.  Apparently he died of smoke inhalation from the fires started during the attack.  It was not clear how the Marines were killed.  The US Embassy in Egypt was also attacked.  This is unbelievable that this was perpetrated over a video on Youtube.

I am stunned by the US response I have seen thus far....

Keeping my eye on how this pans out. 

Idiots couldn't even burn our flag properly, they had to rip it into pieces instead before flying their rag in it's place.

I didn't think we had any US Marines there.  I'm under the impression that it was the ambassador, private security, and staff that were killed.  One story says that Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in a gun/rocket attack on his vehicle (as they fled the scene) and another says he died of smoke inhalation.  Either way, it is a tragic event.  May all rest in peace.

There is no excuse for this.  None. 

Though...   one has to wonder what would have happened if there would have been a have dozen US marines on station with plenty of ammo, supplies, and a direct comm link to a US carrier stationed somewhere in the MTO.   :aok

  I guess the White House supported the wrong side in both those countries eh?

  We are giving millions of Tax dollars to these radicals. WTG!  :rolleyes:

Well, back when the "Libyan Revolution" was all over the news..
I remember their rebel general on video, (a known Al Qaeda operative)
bragging about killing American troops.. Saying, how the Americans will
help us kill Qaddafi, then we will go back to killing Americans..
While US and NATO planes are flying airstrikes in support of them..

He was saying this right in the open, about the same time Panetta and the
Joint Chiefs were telling Congress that they did not need approval of
congress to make war.. They get their Authorization from the UN???
And the Prez, tellin us he doesn't need to follow the law in the Constitution!

I remember when people used to freak out, about the possibility of
terrorists getting "guided missiles".. Now the Black Al Qaeda flag is
flying in Libya Tunisia Egypt Syria.. Now they are running those
Governments and Militaries.. (not Syria yet) Now they have all the Guided
missiles they want.. Qaddafi just bought the newest euro SAM's too..
And we just rearmed Egypt, didn't we???

So now "Egyptian" M1 Abrams are rollin to Isreali border in the Sinai..
No wonder the Israelis are so happy with us right now huh???

So now they have American weapons too...
People were warning about this, but no one would listen..
Ole Qaddafi, is lookin pretty good about now, isn't he???

Gotta ask, just who is running the show in DC, huh???

Graphic images taken at the scene show civilians making desperate attempts to pull the diplomat to safety. But their efforts were futile. Arab television station Al Jazeera today reported that Ambassador Stevens died of smoke inhalation.

Right, a gun shot to back of the head is same as smoke inhalation.

They were parading him in the street, per regional standards of riotous anti-American conduct.  And of course US media isn't reporting it.  And we now can't get our story straight as to if we're going to continue apologizing for some weirdo's movie that nobody saw yet was somehow an excuse to attack US embassies and kill an Ambassador, or use some slightly more critical words explaining why we're a bit miffed about the embassy attack.

Of course the media doesn't know how to report it because the govt hasn't told them how to report it.  SecState Clinton's condemnation on the heels of the apology for forcing the rioters to attack the embassy certainly doesn't seem very official.  Maybe the president will take some time during his Letterman appearance to explain if we are sorry or angry about it.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

There are Marines at EVERY foreign embassy.

This hit home....You can bet the Marines there made them pay for every inch they took while trying to get to the embassy.

American government not very bright by any measure.

I would not even let one of them wash my truck. It would take them 8 months, cost millions, and be filthy when they said it was done.

LOL so true. You can't expect a bunch of lawyers know how to do anything. How come they can't screw in a lightbulb but can screw so many other things?

There are those in power in the world, that WANT another world war..
They are setting us up for it, right now.. These are NOT COINCIDENCES..

This bizarre US foreign policy that has brought all this, is not stupidity..
NOBODY is that stupid.. They know EXACTLY what they are doing..
They are working to a plan..

In the old days, ship captains would crash their ship on the rocks
intentionally, so their accomplices could "salvage" (steal) the cargo..
And then cash in on the insurance too..

It was called WRECKING.. They are doing that to our whole country!
And it's working! This is not silly tinfoil hat garbage.. This is the real deal!
