CBS story: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57511043/assault-on-u.s-consulate-in-benghazi-leaves-4-dead-including-u.s-ambassador-j-christopher-stevens/?tag=stack
CBS story quote, about half-way down: “He said Stevens, 52, and other officials were moved to a second building - deemed safer - after the initial wave of protests at the consulate compound. According to al-Sharef, members of the Libyan security team seem to have indicated to the protesters the building to which the American officials had been relocated, and that building then came under attack.”
Present tense to past tense in a title? That's pathetic. I remember when journalists cared about grammar.
I also remember when democrats were patriotic and loved America. In those days, JFK, LBJ, and so many other leaders of their party would not have tolerated such an attack or any politician who ignored an attack on our country. Today, the dems see it as a chance to apologize again. I'm not fond of the spending policies of the dems, even decades ago, but as with the writing skills of journalists, what has happened to the patriotism of that party is pathetic.
No, I think Obama now has another major problem on his hand that he is ill-equiped to handle.
The reports that:
- apologies were made for the Americans who encouraged the attacks
- Obama didn’t attend daily security briefings the entire week prior
- the attacks were coordinated; despite an “Arab Spring”
will absolutely be devastating for his campaign. There is no way out of this for Obama. Some of the press is trying to place some sort of blame on Romney (???) but no one is buying it. Even if he does what is right (immediate military retaliation and cut off all aid to Egypt) there will still be questions about the meetings he skipped and his gross misjudgement of muslim intentions.
But he won’t do what is right. With no military experience and a history of bumbling diplomatic actions, Obama will take minimal action, thus demonstrating his weak resolve and open Americans to more attacks.
“how do they explain Chris Stevens’s large intestines hanging out of his back ? “
Where does this info come from? Have a link?
The Community Organizer gets a BIG “F”!...Way to go Gilligan!
The CCP/EVE/Dust community (which I’ll be a part of via Dust 514) will remember this.
I have no idea what this is. I only know what I read in that thread.
One thing we must remember is that there was a civil war in Libya. Islamists and secularists I imagine are still struggling to install their preferred form of government. And Gaddafi supporters are still lurking in the background. Who knows what sub groups of plotters may be involved and which is their allegiance? I doubt Obama or State know either. Here is another link:

Blood-Crazed Muslims Drag Body Of US Ambassador Stevens Through Streets Of Libya !
And now we have hillary! sticking to 'they were carrying him to the hospital'.
The Zeros AND the Clintoons go down in one single round.
And quite a few subscribers here were cheering for Hillary for president a few years ago and since.
I have some questions for the Muslim-in-Chief (that he will never be asked by the MSM, even if he happens to stop playing golf or campaigning long enough to answer a question):
- Given the uncertain political circumstances in Libya, why was there no security detail at the US Consulate in Benghazi.
- Were the press releases and Tweets from the US Embassy in Cairo (regarding the little-viewed anti-Mohammad YouTube release) an attempt to deflect attention from other causes that are obviously more responsible for the attacks (like the death of Saeed al-Shihri in Yemen, the death of UBL, and the continuous “spiking of the ball” by the dems during the DNC)?
- Given this administration’s propensity to mislead, withold the “whole truth”, and even lie, can we ever expect to get the whole truth regarding the death of Americans in Libya?
I could go on, but if the press asks these questions and then asks legitimate follow-up questions when these are ignored, it will be a good (and surprising start)!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Who authorized replacing US security with Libyan? When did this occur? This past week maybe?
WHAT??? I hadn't heard that-everything I've read says he was taken to a hospital by "concerned" citizens where he later died. I was at work all day- trying to catch up now.. Do you have a link?
Did someone tell US Military and intel to stand down?
Sounds like it.
Really,She said they were taking him to the hospital.I am way behind.God bless them and their families.
