Fox News has just reported that the US is withdrawing (supposedly temporarily) all its personnel from the US embassy in Tripoli, Libya. What–did they get advance word of a YouTube sequel to The Innocence of Muslims? Are they worried of another imminent “spontaneous” protest with marchers who carry mortars with them?
More likely the Clousseaus of Foggy Bottom have figured out they have serious security breach problems in Libya and perhaps elsewhere.

The only other thing I can figure is that they somehow stumbled on to some actionable intelligence that the Tripoli embassy was going to be attacked in the next few days, and they decided to bug out.
Another embassy attack now wouldn’t be just another bump in the road for the Won.
Shouldn’t that be The Wen?
Remember Barack Obama saying in May of 2008 while campaigning for President: “I mean, think about it,” he said. “Iran, Cuba, Venezuela – these countries are tiny, compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t don’t pose a serious threat to us...”
Now Obamamugabe is cutting and running from Libya?
Yes he did. Have you ever wondered why Obama hit the campaign trail to Las Vegas on September 11th?? Obama knew weeks before the attack. Too bad Anderson handed over the journal. Stevens warned Obama this would happen last July.
You’re right.
I don’t want to mention anything associated with “winning” and the man called Hussein.
Maybe the locals are planning another “protest”.....
FU Obama and the Wookie you rode in on.
Bwahahahahahaha! nobama (and his sagging, dried-up, world’s-smartest-woman minion, mrs. klintoon) are so above their pay grade. They both should be in prison for the rest of thei9r pathetic, loser lives.

“Accidental Death of Libyan at US Embassy in Tripoli
09/08/2012 17:51:00
By Hind Turki
In an unfortunate fatal accident on Tuesday, a Libyan guard was reportedly crushed to death by the entrance gate of the US embassy in the Libyan capital, Tripoli. The incident occurred when the gate lethally dislodged from its pathway and fell on the guard.
The embassy, which is located in Walie Al-Ahed road in the Sidi Slim area, has a large, heavy gate that bars the entrance and is manned by guards for security measures.
The gate is intended to be controlled mechanically, however due to damages allegedly sustained by the mechanism, the gate has to be manually opened and shut by the security guards throughout the day.
A spokesman for Ambassador Stevens contacted by The Tripoli Post said: “The employee was a valued member of the embassy who served the embassy with courage, dedication and distinction. We have conveyed our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to his family and friend.Our thoughts and prayers are with them.”
The official details of the incident, including the identification of the victim, were not released by the embassy.
However, sources told The Tripoli Post that the accident occurred at around 3:30 pm on Tuesday in the presence of several witnesses, including three Libyan guards and two American embassy employees, as well as the ambassador himself.
An investigation into the victim’s death is currently being carried out. The question is being raised as to the safety of the facility. “

So, the embassy gate was damaged and Stevens was moved. And 0bama was not in intelligence briefings.
Convenient.
Naah, that's a stupid hypothesis. Here's one that is more in keeping with Islamist (and Marxist) thinking:
My take is that the reason for AQ's focus on Yemen is its proximity to Mecca. They will strike from there.
The story for nightly news Tonight would be: “Hillary Clinton admits planned attack by Al Qeada in Libya”.
NOW the story will be: “BREAKING: Film maker responsible for Libyan Ambassador death is arrested.”
=> it’s just that simple.
Have people here not been following the story, it’s about delayed release of facts, deversion, 15 days and running now.
And it describes him perfectly, too. Wen = vaginal orifice (Middle English?)
Obama acted tooooooo unconcerned about the ambassador’s murder. I suspect Obama knew the attack was coming and KNEW the ambassador would be killed.
The security problem is the 4 H club.
Hillary, Hussein, Huma, and Harry.
May be in advance of Hillary’s resignation and the feared backlash from the Muslim Brotherhood at losing one of their top allies.
I can hope can’t I?
Definitely. I believe they watched it all happen minute from minute on live feed. They just couldn’t explain the 5 hours they “lost track of them”. They would have to be honest about what they saw. Absolutely horrible.
there has to be a sound bite of that somewhere
The Wank.
