On Sunday, Rep. Allen West (FL) characterized comments made by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as "asinine, naive" and "inept" while appearing on Fox News. The Florida Republican made his comments in response to her assertion that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya was a “spontaneous reaction” to an online anti-Islamic video.

“This is a response to a hateful and offensive video that was widely disseminated throughout the Arab and Muslim world,” Ambassador Rice told NBC's "Meet the Press." Libyan President Mohammad Magarief, however, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the assault was “definitely planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago and they were planning criminal acts since their arrival.”

"When I listened to the U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice today, several words came to mind: asinine, naive, inept, incompetent, and borderline ignorant," he said. "Because when you understand that the Egyptian government, their intelligence services, put out a letter talking about a potential threat of attacks and uprisings about a week before this. It was even printed in the Jerusalem Post on 9/11. And anyhow I can tell you…having been in a combat zone several times after 9/11, we were always on a higher state of security and alertness on 9/11. It should have been the exact same thing here."

"And for Susan Rice to say that this was not a well coordinated attack – first of all, I’d have to ask her what is her line of expertise in understanding what a well-coordinated attack is, because this was not happenstance. It was not coincidence. This was well-planned, well-coordinated, and the president there in Libya confirms that,” he added.

And the automatic weapons and RPGs just appeared by magic.

Don't Mideast muzzies carry around automatic weapons and RPG's the way a man in western civiliation carries a wallet? And don't all muzzies start carrying them as soon as they can walk?

so the Dept of Homeland security has been compromised by homosexuals at the top. (stupid conduct etc.)

the state department is apparently equally compromised, based on Rice’s comments.

Was using her a lame effort to confuse her with condi rice?

I love how we are told, as Americans, that we cannot lump all the Muslims into one group. If one of them does something bad, we have to look at THEM as an individual and their action is a reflection upon them solely, not the religion as a whole.

On the flipside, when something happens here that Muslims dont like, they hold the entire nation accountable, calling for DEATH DEATH DEATH to everyone and every thing American. Somehow they feel excluded from the collectivist attitude they press on others.

If they cannot learn to grow up and join the modern world they should be removed from it along with any practices that violate basic human rights. Anyone who supports violence as a response to hurt feelings is less than an animal and has no place in civilized society. That goes for any and all religious cry babies who cant think for themselves, not just nutjob Muslims.

We need to deal with these people based on reality and start giving back exactly what we get from them. They worship death, let’s give it to them. They worship tyrannical abuse of power, let us wield it over them and treat them like the brat children they are.

I agree. He is the best we have. He still needs to explain his vote for/approving the nazi Germany style NDAA, indefinite detention of American citizens, bill tho.

The uprisings in the middle east are akin to the 1968 Tet offensive to the Johnson administration for that epic fail we call Obamination.

You are confusing that with full-stuffed suicide belts but, you may be correct for sand-ni**ers older than 12.

After (too much) reading about this, I am 100% sure leftist operatives and muzlims (but I repeat myself) made this bogus movie and spread the word to all the damned muzlim countries so they could start attacking US interests in the name of retaliating against a bogus movie none of them have seen.
