See <a href="http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/US-Consulate-attack-in-Libya-part-of-2-prong-attack-169655966.html" rel="nofollow">THIS</a>. Stories are not confirmed, but there does seem to be an indication that at least some of those who attacked were inside men.<br /><br /><i>Not one of them is anything except elated, filled with joy, over the deaths and destruction of our embassy.</i><br /><br />I find that hard to believe. It does seem that Ambassador Stevens was well received by my Libyans.<br /><br />Time will tell the truth.<br /><br />BTW, I did read somewhere that certain people are calling all these embassy attacks "The Second Arab Spring." If that is true -- and I think that it well could be -- the Middle East is going to rock and roll. The Campaigner in Chief will do nothing except want to meet with all the groups' leaders.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-88390190838132121432012-09-13T19:33:38.592-05:002012-09-13T19:33:38.592-05:00I read the whole WAPO article but no mention of an...I read the whole WAPO article but no mention of anything military except a comparison to military-like moves.

Once inside the compound, they brought down the U.S. flag, burned it and replaced it with a black banner bearing Islam’s declaration of faith — “There is no God but Allah.”<br /><br />Before storming the grounds, demonstrators removed the embassy’s sign on the outer wall, set tires ablaze and pelted the compound with rocks.<br /><br />It was similar to an attack on the U.S. Embassy in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Tuesday night. A mob of Libyans also attacked the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi on Tuesday, killing American Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.<br /><br />In Egypt, protesters were clashing with police near the U.S. Embassy in the capital Cairo for the third day in a row....</i><br /><br />The movie will be blamed.

I <b>HAVE</b> said that the West needs to be aware that fundamentalist Islam is growing more in strength than the West chooses to recognize.<br /><br />I happen to believe that the Arab Spring began as something good, then got co-opted.

No one with any brains, anyway. The problem has always been subculture. Our problem now is that government leaders in Egypt and Libya are using these disaffected persons, or loons, as surrogates. You should be angry with these nitwits, rather than your own countrymen. You may pretend, as have Obama and Clinton that the Egyptian government has nothing to do with the attacks on our Embassy. The facts are otherwise. The Muslim Brotherhood goaded, organized, encouraged, and controlled the demonstrations outside the Cairo embassy. Dare we suggest these “elements” or surrogates have ties to al-Qaeda? Yes, we can … elements that find aid and comfort from The Muslim Brotherhood run Egyptian government.Mustanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388694472897425202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-41014728680323402252012-09-12T20:13:32.650-05:002012-09-12T20:13:32.650-05:00Look's legit

Now of course, your statement intends to demean me, which is what communists do when they cannot engage in an intelligent conversation. I’m not surprised. Throw your barbs at Romney, Netanyahu, me, Warren ….and eventually we come up with this conclusion: you’re a zero. <br /><br />Let me leave you with this picture: you walk into the section of the zoo housing monkeys and you start staring at them; real hard stares. Knowing you, you’ll probably also make faces at them. It doesn’t take long before you rile one; if you rile one, then suddenly all the monkeys are screaming and going … excuse the pun, “ape.” This was my reference to “sand monkeys.” It doesn’t take much to rile them up. Now don’t you feel just a little stupid?
