And Now, For The Muzzie Apologists....
 

Oh, so the attacks on our Embassies were over some film that the Muzzies were all*****ed off about as it "denigrated" their pedophile prophet eh?

Not so fast....

A Libyan official said Thursday that the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in  Benghazi was a planned, two-part operation that included a raid on a supposedly  secret safe house -- an account that comports with what a top U.S. lawmaker told  Fox News a day earlier.

....

Rogers told Fox News he has "no doubt" it was a planned attack and had  nothing to do with the film.

"It was a coordinated, military-style, commando-type raid," Rogers said.  Based on his own briefings, Rogers said "military movements" were  involved.

So..... when shall we see the retractions, apologies and resignations from those who apologized for the alleged "slight" that "triggered" these lawless, murderous thugs?

Oh that would be never, yes?

As for our Pretender-in-Chief, he's among them -- he too made reference to the alleged "insult" in the film, never mind that this is what the First Amendment is about -- freedom of speech!

Does anyone remember "Piss Christ" (remember that?) funded with NEA (government) money in part?  I don't recall any Catholics laying siege to government buildings and murdering people over that.

This "film" not only had nothing to do with the attacks it was an entirely-private venture.

So Mr. MaoBama, when are you going to cut the crap eh?  If you want our people to be sitting ducks in a shooting gallery don't be surprised when they all tell you to pound sand.

The animals that attacked the Embassy and murdered several people, including our Ambassador, apparently understand exactly one -- and only one -- thing: overwhelming force.

If we're going to maintain a diplomatic presence in these nations (and I'm becoming more and more hard-pressed to understand why we should) we had damned well better be prepared to meet any and all challenges to our people and property there with exactly that on a moment's notice -- at all times -- and do so without apology or second thought.

Hillary Clinton pretty much told the rest of the world today that the reason for the execution of our
Amabassador in Libya was a propaganda film denigrating Mohammed.

She apologizes for the film...

What the hell is going on here?

Has this bitch ever once apologized to Christians for depictions of Jesus Christ submerged in*****?

Our government is trying to make nice with foreign factions that have only one goal...kill Infidels.

The only thing I admire about Islam is, they make no bones or apologies about their goals.

Unlike the US...They don't waiver.

More details about the "useful idiot" who yelled "fire" in a crowded theater at what just happened to be exactly the "right" time in a presidential campaign:

Man behind anti-Islam film reportedly is Egyptian-born ex-con

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/....

Never take anything at face value, especially when the timing is so convenient for ultra-right wing religious fanatics of the "Christian" variety (in name only) who want to accelerate the end times so they can meet Jesus. F'ing lunatics...

In a word: Oil
The Russians and Chinese have dibs on Syria hence no "let freedom ring" intervention there. Libya , warmly welcome to the worlds stage just three short years ago for getting rid of it's WMD, found out the consequences of doing just that. Getting rid of Gaddafi's nuclear puts was a open door invite to the "Let Freedom Ring oil brigade"...not to mention France needed a Hot war to show off it's new Raphael Fighter jets , just in case anyone was wondering why France led that attack.

Under Gaddafi, no American foreign diplomats were murdered , although there was those night club explosions and Lockerbie in the 80s but, hey, lets not look back, lets look forward. Just to correct the record,not that it matters, it was a embassy issued apology that came before the attack for the a movie that was apparently made as some sort of advertisement or promotion that was dubbed by the Good Reverend Perry to show his love for Islam.

We also have one clue that the attack may not be what it appeared, based on the Ambassador's protection detail, who were ex-Navy Seals highly experienced in protection details from Hot wars all suggest that this attack was meticulously planned and executed by professionals. Based on that news bit, I really don't think the movie had anything to do with it. It was just an excuse to divert attention. You don't plan one of those things in a day or so.

It's highly possible that they just didn't want us there. Which also does two things, it suggests to dictators that getting nuclear arms is the best known protection against NATO alliances or others against invasions. So we can look forward to Pakistan and Probably China having a very good year selling the stuff that glows in the dark for a thousand years. Further it tells us the price for oil has gone up in the color of Red which we have never hesitated to pay premium red stuff in the past for it, so why stop now? Look for a embassy twice the size of Iraq. It's a good day for Halliburton and Libya based construction contractors. Also look for more 100 billion dollar+ supplementals.

Finally, as the oil execs laugh at their latest conquest ( Cute ..ain't they?) and the arms producers jerk off, watch oil soar at the pumps thanks to the Feds QE3 by the banks and for the banks.

"the attacks were suspected to have been timed to mark the 9/11 anniversary and that the militants used civilians protesting an anti-Islam film as cover for their action"

Why the 11th anniversary of 9/11 and not the 10th? Because it's the end of an election year, that's why.

"I really don't think the movie had anything to do with it. It was just an excuse to divert attention. You don't plan one of those things in a day or so."

The film has been out since July, so aQ had plenty of time to prepare for a strike and then point out the video to the vast majority of Muslims who hadn't seen it, inciting the riots as cover. aQ, just as Bin Laden said many times (ALWAYS pay attention to what your enemy is saying), wants nothing more than to incite direct US military personnel on the ground involvement in the Middle East, not drone strikes, and nothing would be better for that than to put another Bush in office. Thus, the timing of this. They are trying to influence US elections. Don't fall for it. Vote for whoever you were going to vote for before these attacks. For me, of course, that's NOTA.

I'm a Christian and live in the Bible belt. Although I've read plenty of comments about Christians wanting to speed up the end of days, I have never met a Christian who has expressed or in any manner indicated any desire for an acceleration of end times. This seems to be another urban legend. The story must have been started by someone other that a Christian. Don't get sucked in.

I have heard a few Christians lament that the corruption, "wars and rumors of wars", and the general sense of anxiety and distress, etc. are signs of the end times. They sometimes sigh and say something about Jesus is coming soon, or this will end, or something that is meant to be comforting like "It is all in God's hands." Such things are verbalized in the context of dread mixed with resignation, but not of hopeful anticipation.

Whoever suggested that Christians want the world to fall apart in order to see Jesus sooner is on the wrong track.

I retract my accusations of reckless endangerment, it turns out he did at least have some American mercenary guards. Outsourced but not 100% offshored. Not enough, obviously, but we were less negligent than I previously thought.

I agree that this was a planned terrorist attack, people don't bring RPGs and AK47s just to protest. Cairo is a protest, Benghazi was a terrorist attack with a protest as a smokescreen. These terrorists would have used ANY excuse that presented itself. (edit)Or, like Winston said, maybe the terrorists called attention to the video in the first place to ensure their smokescreen happened near 9/11.

The film in question may not have been made as an anti-Islam film. It may be that a segment was doctored and put on youtube. That is, the whole thing is a fake.

Interesting Verreken.. Maybe some jihadists agent-provacateured the whole thing in order to cause these protests. If we can prove it, the media ought disseminate that info with all haste. The world stage is critical to protests in any country, if we can showcase evidence that the video was faked by jihadists to stir things up we could deny them their propaganda victory.

(edit)This isn't to say a protest movement can be stopped just like that, but it would be very good in the long run to warn Muslims that they're being overtly manipulated by jihadists.

"The film in question may not have been made as an anti-Islam film. It may be that a segment was doctored and put on youtube. That is, the whole thing is a fake."

I already posted a news source in the original thread that explained that in great detail. Here it is again:

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/13/world/anti....

Excerpt:

But the 80 cast and crew members involved in the making of the movie said they were "grossly misled" about its intent.

"The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer," they said in a statement to CNN.

They said they were "shocked by the drastic rewrites of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."

An actress in the film, who asked not to be identified, said the original script did not include a Prophet Mohammed character. She said she and other actors complained that their lines had been changed.

The woman said she spoke Wednesday with the producer, who is identified in the advertisement as Sam Bassiel.

"He said he wrote the script because he wants the Muslims to quit killing," she said. "I had no idea he was doing all this."

The actress said that the character of Mohammed in the movie was named George when it was shot, and that after production wrapped she returned and read other lines that may have been dubbed into the piece.

A member of the production staff who worked on the film and has a copy of the original script corroborated the woman's account. There was no mention of Mohammed or Islam, the crew member said.

=============

Isn't interesting that the guy who fooled actors into making the film and later dubbed a Mohammed character into it without the their knowledge is supposedly an Egyptian "Christian" who happened to time the release of the film at the end of a US election year, inciting riots in the Middle East once attention was drawn to the film which has been out since July. Egypt is no longer forced-friendly with Israel by a dictator, yet the US has taken a neutral attitude toward that, something that displeases Israel. So, the film inspires riots in Egypt, Libya, and Yemen with the Egyptian government supporting the protests while providing adequate US embassy defense and "profuse apologies." aQ takes advantage of it all trying, as usual, to once again incite (i.e., "sucker") the US into direct military action in The Middle East and/or influence the US elections to elect a likely to be more militant politician.

And what country would benefit from more direct US military action in the Middle East and/or a less neutral/friendly US relationship with the new governments in Egypt and Libya? Hint: it's in the Middle East and begins with an "I." More clues, it's not Iran or Iraq.

ALWAY... READ... BETWEEN... THE... LINES... Don't be led around by the nose like blithering idiot sheep.

Of course, that takes extensive knowledge of what has happened and is happening in the Middle East and how geopolitics play into all of that and since most Americans can't even point to Iraq on a world map...

If this is meant to help Romney, I'm not sure it's working. He tried to capitalize but he looks to be fumbling the ball. General unrest in the Arab world seems like the desired end, attempted tie-ins to U.S. politics come across to me as shoehorning.
