A graphic picture has emerged online of Libyan civilians dragging the unconscious body of Chris Stevens, the US ambassador who was one of four diplomatic staff killed during an attack on the American consulate in Benghazi.
The picture appears to show the civilians dragging Stevens through the streets in search of help, after the attack which ultimately killed him as well as three other staff, including information management officer Sean Smith.
Although the precise circumstances of Stevens's death remain unclear, it is thought that 52-year-old Stevens went to the US consulate in Benghazi a few hours after the initial attack on the compound.
Reports suggest that Stevens, Smith and their bodyguards were attacked in their car. The ambassador eventually died of suffocation.
The attack was prompted by the release of an Islamophobic film entitled Innocence of Muslims, which was produced in the US state of California and directed by Israeli-American Sam Bacile.
The Marxist knew and told the Libyan’s where to take the Ambassador!
He is responsible for his death - they’re his brethren.
God damn the Marxist to Hell.
VOTE HIM OUT!
“Obama’s statement this morning: “Libyans acted responsibly by carrying Steven’s body to the hospital.””
It’s surprising that Obama’s next statement wasn’t: “We’re sorry if any muslim hurt or strained their back while carrying our ambassador”
GOP better hope this int the hostage crisis all over again because Carter’s approval rating skyrocketed between November 1979 and May 1980.
I’ll predict this incident results in a spike in ‘Obama’s approval rating not a decline. The voters immediately rally to the president. They aren’t going to rally to someone with no military or foreign policy experience. Romney isnt McCain or Dole in this case.
However this is a preview of what a second term will look like.
FREE REPUBLIC’S BEST POST OF 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Admin endorsed the Muslim Brotherhood. How’s that working for our country now?
Democrats have a bad habit of punishing our friends and rewarding our enemies. If they keep it up long enough, we will have no friends.
Once again we are in total agreement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I disagree. He is either conscious and resisting or dead and rigor mortis is setting in.
Wiki (I'm no CSI expert) under "Physical Changes" suggests rigor in muscles other than eyelids, neck and jaw only start some 6 hours after death.
If you look at his left forearm you can see a flexed forearm muscle. To see this just watch your forearm as you move your hand to your shoulder. No flexed muscle.
Now flex your bicep ("muscle-man pose") and watch that muscle/tendon pop up like in the picture.
Ambassador Stevens was either conscious in the picture being "rescued" or was dead for 6+ hours and long past "rescue". FWIW.
In an earlier post (My post: Before and After "Rescue") I suggested he looked a lot more alive and a lot less worse from "wear and tear" in the first picture (post #13 vs #32). Others disagree.
I just hope he wasn't conscious. Wonder if we'll ever know the truth. The bottom line is he is dead and they killed him, who they is really doesn't matter to me. That whole part of the world is a cesspool of hatred.
The phone in his 'savior's' mouth is telling. I always take pictures of the people I'm saving before I get to saving them - that's why I quickly have to jam it in my mouth rather than put it in my pocket./s
That was my thought too when I saw the picture. Also, his eyes are half open. RIP.
“I just hope he wasn’t conscious”.
This is one of those times that I pray he was dead immediately. My mind cannot even contemplate if he was alive/aware of what was happening.
