Xue,
Thanks for this great post! I have been looking for that U.S. Embassy statement this morning!
I am so utterly disgusted with The Obama Administration for using this flimsy excuse,
they know that film is not the reason for the Embassy attacks!
I am outraged that peaceful law abiding U.S. Citizens who serve to foster diplomatic
relations between countries have been harmed, and murdered, and Obama is once
again apologizing!
A bloody attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that left American ambassador Christopher Stevens, two marines and a communications officer dead was a planned ambush by terrorists using a pro-Islam protest as cover, it has been claimed.
The victims died during a rocket attack after an armed mob protesting at a 'blasphemous' film about the Prophet Mohammed set fire to the consulate in Benghazi.
It is believed a small, vicious group of attackers used the protest as a diversion, although question remain over whether the killers drummed up support for the march or simply took advantage of it, an official told CNN.
While it is not known exactly who was responsible for the ambush, a London think tank with strong ties to Libya said Stevens, who is not believed to have been targeted, could have been the victim of a revenge attack by al Qaeda.
The assault 'came to avenge the death of Abu Yaya al-Libi, al Qaeda's second in command killed a few months ago', think tank Quilliam told CNN, noting the rocket-propelled grenade launchers used in the attack do not normally appear at peaceful protests
. As speculations over what led to the attack intensify, President Barack Obama has deployed a team of 50 marines to the compound in Benghazi which was left ravaged by firebombs during the attack.
He could also command unmanned surveillance drones to fly over Benghazi in search of jihadi encampments possibly tied to the deadly attack, a U.S. official said. The drones, which would pass gathered information to Libyans, are expected to be approved by the Pentagon and White House shortly.
The deaths will put huge pressure on the Libyan administration which took over after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. Despite the West taking a key role in his overthrow, the country remains unstable and Islamic militants have moved into the power vacuum.
A Jew in hiding, stupid racist rants, the movie financed by rich Jews, all published in the New York Times, so it must be true.
Quite a coup, eh? What is really going on here, besides trying to give Israel and the Jews another black eye? The embassy attacks were a well-planned, well-financed intelligence operation, going back many months, a trap set to spring on the 9/11 before our 2012 election.
Three possibilities come to mind. One, this was a not-so-subtle warning to Obama not to allow Israel to launch a strike against Iran before the election.
Two, the Iranians have more "incidents" ready to spring, so as to significantly hurt Obama's re-election.
Three, this was a blunt message about Obama's and thus America's weakness, and Iranian strength, on the ground in the Middle East.
Is it any wonder that Obama could not find time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Obviously the Iranian warnings were received and understood. Read more: www.americanthinker.com...

Before Romney issued his statement today, an open mic capture the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. I’ve transcribed it to the best of my ability but the audio is below for verification:
I’ve labeled one as the CBS News reporter as I believe it is Nancy Cordes who works for CBS News. If I’ve gotten that wrong I apologize and will correct.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….
CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*
CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?
CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*
CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that..
**Later**
CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?
and there you have it. Do you think the Obama administration wrote the questions for them?
The news site Ahram Online reports that an Egyptian media mogul fanned the flames of the protests and called for demonstrations. "The Islamist protesters had answered a call by Salafist leader Wesam Abdel-Wareth – who is also the president of Egypt's ultra-conservative Hekma television channel – to protest the film 'Muhammad's trial' at 5pm outside the US embassy in Cairo's Garden City district," reports the site. "The protest began to deviate from its peaceful nature when some demonstrators began setting off fireworks, the sound of which resembled gunfire. Other demonstrators at the scene chanted 'Peaceful, Peaceful,' urging their fellow protesters to refrain from acts of violence."
Although the Army has been called in, protesters were able to scale the walls and penetrate the perimeter of the Embassy. Reporting from Cairo, Foreign Policy's David Kenner writes, "Here in Egypt, the question is why security was so light as to allow the demonstrators to storm the embassy so easily -- and what the Muslim Brotherhood will do next. While Egypt's most powerful party did not instigate the protest, Cairo is waiting with bated breath to see whether it will disavow the efforts of its fellow Islamists. If not, America's old traumas may soon be coming back with a vengeance."
