Egyptian Protesters Climb Walls Of U.S. Embassy, American Flags Taken Down And Replaced With Black Al-Qaeda Flags – Update: Obama Admin Condemns Individuals Who “Hurt The Religious Feelings Of Muslims”…

Keep in mind these are the same protesters Obama backed during the Arab Spring uprising against Mubarak.

Via CNN:

Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and hauled down its American flags, replacing them with black flags with Islamic emblems.

The incident prompted U.S. security guards to fire off a volley of warning shots as a large crowd gathered outside, apparently upset about the production of a Dutch film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene.

An embassy operator told CNN that the facility had been cleared of diplomatic personnel earlier Tuesday, ahead of the apparent threat, while Egyptian riot police were called to help secure the embassy walls.

Update: More pictures.

Update: Insanity rules the day. From the State Department’s Egyptian embassy website:

Don’t worry everybody. The U.S. has already apologized. Everything should be okay now.

Carter was the victim of islamic hostage-takers in 1980......could Obama repeat EVERYTHING from the Carter years, including the lousy economy?

An armed mob has attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi and set fire to the building, witnesses reported, in what they said was a protest at a film they said offended Islam.

A little earlier, Libya’s deputy interior minister Wanis al-Shari, told AFP the crowd had attacked the building and that information was confirmed by the US embassy in the capital Tripoli.

First time I listened to Zero I said to myself, ‘Huh a black Jimmy Carter!’. I actually view Hillary as the more radical hence the more dangerous Rat. Zero is perhaps the Henry Wallace administration that never was, but he is even more destructive then that!

F them and the camel they rode in on.
I am not going to be tolerant of their terrorist behavior because they want to call it their religion.

They do not have my sympathy and they need to grow up and learn to be tolerant of others.

Oh, for a few canisters of napalm.

I’ll give you three guesses as to who ordered the Marines NOT to shoot people scaling the embassy wall.
