The United States on Sunday condemned attacks on embassies in Libya's capital, a day after officials said a NATO missile strike had killed one of the sons of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

"We have seen reports indicating that British, Italian and U.S. diplomatic facilities in Tripoli have been attacked," U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. "If true, we condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms."

NATO doesn't do squat without White House approval.

This is just Obama throwing more “friends” under the bus again.

Innocent children (G’Daffy’s grandchildren — but still innocent children) were killed in NATO’s recent targeted assassination attempt on G’Daffy); and we're supposed to be surprised that NATO members’ embassies attract angry mobs.

The UN mandate was to do what's necessary to protect innocent civilians in Libya. It seems that the best thing NATO could do for these innocent civilians is leave.

Look, I have no sympathy for Gadhafi, but you can't keep trying to kill a guy and complain when he fights back. These childish claims that we're not really trying to kill him, just blow up everything around him are not fooling anybody.

Agreed. These jerks start a war against Gaddafi, kill his troops, kill civilians, bomb his compound, try to assassinate him at every turn, bomb a special school for Downs syndrome children, and then they get mad because he threatens to hit back?

Turnabout is fair play. If they bomb Libya, why should he bomb Italy or France? I don’t want to see that happen, but I don’t see how anybody could find it nearly as outrageous as what Obama is doing to Libya.

More whining from the rapidly declining West.

Why didn’t the rebels protect our embassy?

I read that they walk on water just like our very own Dear Leader.

“State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. “If true, we condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms.”

No you don’’t Mr Toner! The strongest possible terms is to issue Marines live ammo and allow them to protect the U.S. Embassy as the duty they were sent there to do!
