Statement on the Attack in Benghazi(FLASHBACK)
U.S. State Department. ^ | September 11, 2012 | Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State

Posted on 05/02/2014 5:42:08 PM PDT by mdittmar

I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack.

This evening, I called Libyan President Magariaf to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. President Magariaf expressed his condemnation and condolences and pledged his government’s full cooperation.

Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.

In light of the events of today, the United States government is working with partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide.

Has anyone asked Hillary why she posted a Gay man as Ambassador to Libya? The punishment for homosexuality in Muslim countries is death. Was this some attempt by the Obama administration to rub our homosexual agenda in the face of a Muslim nation without making that nation Saudi Arabia?

Obama said several years ago he was working on a full report on Benghazi.

Was one ever published?

I remember Obama promising not to sleep until the perpetrators were brought to justice.

So he hasn’t slept in 20 months.

Hillary had already set the predicate a few days earlier with the press release from our Cairo Embassy that mentioned and apologized for some obscure Internet video that virtually no one had seen. Someone needs to investigate how that press release came about. Normally, Washington must clear such a release, usually from the NEA bureau in the State Department.

"Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation."

...but ended abruptly for the beliefs of the founders when comrade obama came to power.

From the link....

Violence linked to the movie has left at least 30 people in seven countries dead, including the American ambassador to Libya. Two people have died in protests in Pakistan.

Does that make them responsible for even more deaths? Nobody but a handful in Cairo knew about this video before this administration played politics with it.
