If my memory serves, they actually tried to save his sorry butt.

But I don’t think they wanted to get that involved. We did have some special operators on the ground, but they were either to late, or were not able.

Everything else was done from the air, if you recall. All we had there was a small detachment and they were based on a off shore ship.

I don’t think we gave a order to kill him. I don’t think the rebel clans would take it if we gave it. They did not need any urging.

OK, Gretawire says Ambassador staying in the “region.” I guess that means outside of Libya, but in hiding... GREAT job Obunghole.

See a pattern there? It appears that the results of his foreign policy are intentional. Muslim brotherhood, indeed.

Video of Barbara Starr’s original Breaking News report here:

CNN can do good international reporting if they leave out their political views. I’m sure they’ll be blaming Bush before long.

You guys are not focusing on the even closer war, which is the invasion from Central America. Their goal will be to have them overthrow our state govt to give the Fed’s more power.

You mean there was actually someone who took the job after what happened to the last Libyan ambassador? I would’ve thought that position would be hard to fill.

Well they beat him, raped him, beat him some more, shot him, dragged him thru the streets, killed him, raped him some more, and then paraded his body through the streets.

“The Ukraine has little strategic value, other than it’s a proxy battle between Western influence and Russia. So it’s a valid intervention.”

Why is that valid? See Buchanan and Stockman here: http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/my-thoughts-on-pat-buchanans-brilliant-and-incisive-take-on-washingtons-ukrainian-fiasco/?utm_source=wysija&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Mailing+List+Mid+Day+Friday

They didn't even inform the "current goverment" they were leaving.

Is there a government currently?
