Question for those with more smarts than me - is acting an embassy, consulate, or killing an ambassador an act of war? If so, where can I get confirmation on that? Thank you in advance.
An attack on the embassy is exactly the same as an attack on our mainland soil.
Obama denigrates the beliefs of Christians all the time. Anyway, its the First Amendment, Free Speech. This is an attack on the First Amendment, orchestrated by the White House. It cost Ambassador Chris Stevens his life.
Since the killing was done by Muzzies there can be no declaration of war.
America, one notch lower under Obama. All part of his plan to reduce America. See the movie 2016.
Arch-duke Ferdinand was unavailable for comment.
Bruce Herschensohn, Former Dep. Special Asst. under Nixon, told the Friends this morning—these are all acts of war.
Yes, and I’m sure empty chair will come out any minute and blame former President Bush for starting it.
I declared war on all of them, on 9-12-01.
Difficult to get a straight answer from anyone these years—and, I for one tend to disbelieve anything the “experts” (basterds) say!
Anyway...some food for thought.....

And why the heck are we sending these animalistic killers financial aid? We shouldn't be doing anything at all for them. They're obviously not the least bit grateful for anything we've ever done for them. If they're not going to be U.S. friendly, screw them. Let them eat each other. Enough already!
Obama would be in a fix, since he isn’t a real POTUS he cannot declare war. If he did he would go to prison for ordering murder.
But then again, who would prosecute him?
Nobody will because they have no balls.
(To answer your question, prepare for unsatisfactory diplomatic gobbledegook.)
“In the post World War Two era, the UN Charter prohibits signatory countries from engaging in war except:
1) As a means of defending themselves against aggression; or,
2) Unless the UN as a body has given prior approval to the operation. The UN also reserves the right to ask member nations to intervene against non-signatory countries which embark on wars of aggression.
In effect, this means that countries in the modern era must have a plausible casus belli for initiating military action, or risk UN sanctions or intervention.”
More to the point, what you are interested in is the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Diplomatic_Relations
“Article 22. The premises of a diplomatic mission, such as an embassy, are inviolate and must not be entered by the host country except by permission of the head of the mission. Furthermore, the host country must protect the mission from intrusion or damage...”
“Concerning compulsory settlement of disputes. Disputes arising from the interpretation of this treaty may be brought before the International Court of Justice.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice
“The International Court of Justice, also known as World Court or ICJ is the primary judicial organ of the United Nations. It is based in the Peace Palace in The Hague, the Netherlands. Its main functions are to settle legal disputes submitted to it by states and to provide advisory opinions on legal questions submitted to it by duly authorized international organs, agencies, and the UN General Assembly.”
“After the court ruled that the U.S.’s covert war against Nicaragua was in violation of international law (Nicaragua v. United States), the United States withdrew from compulsory jurisdiction in 1986.
“The United States accepts the court’s jurisdiction only on a case-by-case basis. Chapter XIV of the United Nations Charter authorizes the UN Security Council to enforce World Court rulings. However, such enforcement is subject to the veto power of the five permanent members of the Council.”
I can't see straight right now.
An act of war is when your President supports the Muslim Brotherhood.
