Islamic extremist' gunmen attack government buildings in Benghazi

Gunmen staged overnight attacks on at least six security buildings and outposts throughout Libya's eastern city of Benghazi, killing five soldiers, military officials said on Saturday.

The assaults, which included snipers, rocket-propelled grenades and explosives thrown on to rooftops, came after a number of smaller targeted attacks and assassinations of security officials in the city over the past several months. A spokesman for the army's chief of staff, Ali el-Sheikhy, said no group had claimed responsibility for attacks. Officials have not announced any arrests.

An elite military unit known as Saaqa claimed on its Facebook page that Islamic extremists were responsible. It gave no further details.

Can’t wait until the report comes out, that Obama sent resources to the area to protect those businesses.

Okay, at last half-kidding.

al Qaeda affiliates feel empowered by no action against them since Ambassador Stevens was killed.

Obozo’s friends.

Not u-toob. Crappy flicks at the drive-in. “Beach Blanket Bingo” or something.

Thanks don-o.
A powerful blast ripped through a bus of a women's university in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta today, killing 11 students and injuring 22 others.

Must be workplace violence—can’t be terrorism.

Sure this time it wasn’t actually a protest? Maybe some guys out for a stroll decided to shoot the place up, eh Hillary?

Islamic extremist

This is important don-o. Great headline on your post...

Liberals use words to damage conservatives by referring to Christians and Radical Islamists with the same term: 'extremist'.

It's wrong.

We have to stop that evil. We can do it by using hyphenated terms like 'Islamic-extremist' or 'Gay-extremist' or even 'right wing-extremist'... but we must NOT allow them to use only "extremists' - as if conservative Americans were no different than radical Muslims.

Words matter.

Liberals know words matter. Our GOP leaders are fools to go along with allowing liberals to define the conservative base with the same term used to describe the people who murdered 3,000 Americans on 9/11.

Now that we’re sending weapons to al-Qaeda groups in Syria, how do we know those groups won’t be sending them on to other al-Qaeda groups in other countries like Libya, or even in the United States?

The 9/11 al-Qaeda terrorists had to go to the trouble of hijacking planes to destroy the World Trade Center. Now, al-Qaeda terrorists will be the recipients of major America weaponry, which they will be easily able to bring into our country through our newly unpatrolled post-Immigration-bill borders.

Not to the MSM, they don’t. Remember they used to call the Russian politboro “the conservatives” : )
