I assume the US will respond without guns because we are against guns on principle/sarc

Agreed, prayers for a safe resolution for the hostageds. One would think this type of event would interrupt programming and their would be outrage in Washington.......

Secretary Panetta says the United States will take “all necessary and proper steps”

No help for the ambassador when the mobs come?

Let the Beghazi course of action guide them. Prayers for the hostages. They didn’t deserve to be hostages during an incompetent administration but that’s the breaks.

Leon,

Talking and doing nothing is not a 'Proper' Response.

Pinnetta's "proper" response:

"Hey Mr. Bad Guys, can we PLEASE have our people back? Pretty Please?" we'll give you lotsa money on the QT, whaddaya say? Please?

Ball-less dweeb won't do squat. Watch and see.

Ditto your sentiments and prayers.

“Bless your heart, Leon,” but you’re not the Marxist.
He’s busy trying to disarm us.

Secretary Panetta says the United States will take “all necessary and proper steps” in response to the hostage crisis at the facility, run by British, Norwegian and Algerian companies.

Sure, like the steps he took when asked fron Benghazi where four Americans were slaughtered!!!

Obama already sent these things to AQ through Libya (which was what Benghazi was all about). In fact, we then sent “trainers” to Mali, and most of the people we trained in American war tactics and to whom we provided American arms deserted to join Al Qaeda last week.

Al Qaeda smells weakness and lack of interest in resisting (or possibly even senses sympathy from the WH), and they’re launching a major offensive that will probably end with most of Africa being Islamic within the next few months.
