Tayyar News Service in Lebanon claimed the ambassador was raped before he was murdered. How accurate that source is i do not know? But the fact this hasn't even got a mention by the US media is there a cover up?edit on 14-9-2012 by P12SOLD because: (no reason given)

Why do the islam haters keep pushing us?
We are peaceful but the more you push us the more crap your going to get into, not us.
It's like you people are wishing for a WW3.
Remember though islam is much bigger than "America".
Peace.

The Obama MSM outlets are running the movie angle because of the implication to Obama and his election if they dont.
Right now they can blame the entire mess on the guy who made the video.
That argument, for election purposes, is more palatable to the American electorate than if the attacks were the result of ignoring intelligence information. An argument could also be made about Obamas use of drones and the impact they may have played in this incident (taking out terrorist leadership).

What I found peculiar about the administrations response was the use of our UN Ambassador. She is not the political face of this administration.
It reminds me of the old adage that a press secretary is at their best when they are the least informed person in the room. It allows the government spokesperson to lie without lying = uninformed. Since she is rarely used in this capacity she would have a bit more credability than State / DoD / White House spokespersons.
Also something else I noticed (and I may be wrong) is how the situation is being dealt with. While its playing in the media the administration seems content using press releases / talking points instead of question / answer type setup.
I swear the only thing missing from the Obama dministration when they address any topic is -
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away"
ETA - News is now coming out that there were NO protests taking place in Libya when the Ambassador was attacked, contradicting the administrations version of events. The State department and now the DOJ is refusing to comment to the media.
ETA - There are now 23 countries (North African / Middle East) where threats / demonstrations / protests are present against US.edit on 17-9-2012 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)
