Please pray for my son. He is one of the private security there. For obvious reasons, I am not mentioning his name nor his assignment.

When the regime does the wrong thing here, and they will, watch for other nasty groups to make big moves in other parts of the world.

0-bass-turd will also be happy to allow our troops to be killed in Iraq during the Alquida resurgence and Taliban growth; this disgusting and should be impeachable but that won’t happen; blood will be on his hands and he won’t be held accountable by anyone but God.

Obama said al Qaeda is on the run...
Well I guess that is technically true...
On the run towards to control a good chunk of the middle east, including Iraq where Obama claimed victory...

I think we could end all this conflict if we could just get this Climate Change thing under control.

...thousands of Americans...include U.S. diplomats and embassy personnel, private security contractors, and private military advisers to the Iraqi government. In short pretty much what we had in Benghazi before 0bama abandoned them. Prayers up.

Prayers up. Praying he gets out of there safely.

Nos prières à Dieu augmentent pour votre fils et votra famille.
(Our Prayers to God increase for your son and your family.)
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car cest à Toi quappartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

This has the possibility of redefining what bad is. What the heck is expeditionary diplomacy. Intentionally putting thousands of your own citizens in harms way, for what ?

“...blood will be on his hands and he wont be held accountable by anyone but God.”
Well, that is the judgment which matters.

It will end the way Obama always intended, with American helicopters lifting off from some rooftop in Baghdad, just like in Saigon.
And the treasonous American left will rejoice now just as they did then.
The only difference is that in a few years, we will have to back again and kill them all.

Best get ready for another Benghazi. Obama, get some kind of video ready to use so you can lay the blame on someone else when our embassy is overrun. This is like Vietnam all over again. The tragic loss of life because our government has totally lost the will to conduct a war in order to win a war. Our politicians will never resist the temptation to turn our armed forces from warriors to peacekeepers and nation builders.

"...however, the mission requires an unprecedented level of security and life support", the report said, adding that risk assessments are conducted every day...Would this be the same State Dept. Security office that reviewed the Libyan diplomatic stations? Ambassador Stevens was unavailable for comment
