It did occur some hours back.
Fred Nerks reported it on the LONG thread started this morning by SEMom.

This sounds close to being out of control. Better fill up the gas tank...

I don’t suppose they would announce this until after it was a done deal, and the helicopters were out of the country.

I hope that Hillary or Obama have at least enough sense to evacuate the families of our embassy personnel over there, if not the staff themselves.

If I were a Coptic Christian in Egypt, I think I would be packing my bags too.

They have had it bad historically, but I fear it's about to get much worse once the crazies take over.

It did. The American media is always close to 24 hours behind.

And when our embassy staff is held hostage,Obamas rescue efforts will be even weaker than Jimmah’s.

A Coptic Christian anywhere in the middle east.

In the meantime we're giving amnesty to how many Islamic Somalis? 80,000?

Oh God wouldn’t the Dems just be in heaven if an embassy hostage crisis were to happen. They would play that right up to the 2012 election.
