Despite some of my personal feelings about Romney, I think the guy legitimately wants to destroy those that harm us. Obama needs to be stationed in Libya....

Sarah Palin says it pretty well.

CBS: Libyan security team fingered US ambassador to be killed
POSTED AT 9:21 AM ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 BY ED MORRISSEY
In the confusion surrounding the murders of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya yesterday, the Libyan government — which exists due to the military intervention of the US and NATO — initially left the impression that loyalists to dead dictator Moammar Qaddafi conducted the assassinations.* CBS, however, now reports that the Libyan government has changed its tune.* Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the other diplomatic personnel got moved to another building by Libyan security forces when the consulate was attacked, and then betrayed by them to the attackers:
Military officials told CBS News an anti-terrorism team of U.S. Marines was being deployed to Libya to help secure U.S. interests in the country following the attack. The State Department said, however, that no Americans were remaining at the facility in Benghazi. State officials would not confirm how many Americans were evacuated, or to where.
Wanis al-Sharef, a Libyan Interior Ministry official in Benghazi, said the four Americans were killed when the angry mob, which gathered to protest a U.S.-made film that ridicules Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, fired guns and burned down the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
He said Stevens, 52, and other officials were moved to a second building, deemed safer, after the initial wave of protests at the consulate. According to al-Sharef, members of the Libyan security team seem to have indicated to the protesters the building to which the American officials had been relocated, and that building then came under attack.
Stevens, 52, was the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty since 1979.
The dispatch of more Marines to Libya comes a little late, writes Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart, who wonders why the US didn’t have more Marines stationed at this mission in the first place.* Or did they have any?
Security at the consulate was apparently provided by Libyan nationals hired by the United States. While security for American embassies is typically provided by our own Marines, the two Marines reported killed in yesterday’s attacks appear not to have been stationed at the embassy, but were sent there from another unknown location as the violence erupted. There is also no indication if these two Marines were the only American military personnel on site at the time of Ambassador Stevens’s death.
All reports indicate that the security forces at the consulate were overwhelmed by the size of the militant crowds and offered no resistance as they stormed the building, looted it, and killed the four Americans.
As the facts surrounding the destruction of the American consulate and death of Ambassador Stevens become known, investigators will focus on these question: Did the State Department provide adequate security for our embassy staff there? If not, why not?
And finally, the most important question of all: Where were the Marines?
We’d better get those answers quickly … perhaps as quickly as tomorrow.* The Muslim Brotherhood, which now controls Egypt, has called for a “peaceful protest” on Friday throughout all the country — and wants “all national forces” to participate in it:
Egypt’s powerful Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday called for nationwide protests Friday after a film deemed offensive to Islam sparked a deadly attack in Libya and furious protests in Cairo.
The Brotherhood calls “for peaceful protests on Friday outside all the main mosques in all of Egypt’s provinces to denounce offenses to religion and to the Prophet,” the Muslim Brotherhood’s Secretary General Mahmud Hussein said in a statement.
He also urged all “national forces to join the protests.”
The Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Mohammed Morsi emerged, is the largest and most organized political force in the country.
We’d better figure out our security in Cairo ASAP, or get our people out of there. This is going downhill fast, and the weak-sauce responses from the Obama administration is very clearly not dissuading radicals from their purpose.Comment

Did you hear those reporters in the Romney press meeting? Does that give anyone here who might be on the fence clarity as to the bias in media? It was hilariously pro-obama, to the point of being sickening. Obama is leading a pathetically weak and limp wristed administration, and permanently damaging the reputation of the US in the process. This whole situation is just fucking pathetic. EVERY SINGLE TIME Obama has a foreign affairs situation, he completely fucks it up. Do you remember the clusterfuck of bullshit info from the Bin Laden raid? We're going to release photos, we're not going to release photos, he was using his wife as cover, he wasn't using his wife, he was shooting back, he wasn't. Just a cluster fuck of terrible mismanaged resources. Everything he touches turns to shit, he is the opposite of King Midas.

I'm sure the press conference will be on youtube soon enough. But some of the questions were "Don't you think you shouldn't question the President?" And "Now isn't the time for politics, don't you think?"Originally posted by Strychnine View Post

Agreed. Actually, he's not much better on his domestic policies, either. He's an all-around fucking FAILURE. We should be ashamed as a country to even have this scumbag as our POTUS. How stupid are we to even CONSIDER giving him a second term?Originally posted by CJ View PostComment

Obama is BACK talking about it, undoubtedly to take a shot at Romney since he fucked up and made himself look like an idiot.

This is only going to spread to other embassies. They'll push to see what they can get away with, and no response from Obama will only empower them.Comment
