September 14, 201214 yr Author Revealed: inside story of US envoy's assassination - World Politics - World - The Independent According to this report the US had information of an attack 48 hours prior yet were not put on high alart. If this is true it is absolutely ridiculous. I haven't read all of the information, but perhaps they were counting on Egypt to help protect the embassy? It is just a couple of blocks away from the square (can't spell the name of it) where all the uprising happened last year. Plus, after reading reports on how the attacks in Libya went down, it looks like firing back at the mod caused them to get worse. Back about two months ago when there was talk about going into the embassy in London to get then Wiki Leaks founder, it wouldn't be a good thing, again it's sovereign territory, an act of aggression on that nation. Back in WWII the Vatican housed 100s of Jews for the same reason, they knew the axes powers would not enter. What the US needs to do is remind people that embassies are sovereign territories and any breach of the walls is considered an attack on the US and we will defend the Embassy as we do our soil here! I don't think that Egypt wants to lose our 2 billion we send them every year, second only to the money we send to Israel.

I would say that's inexcusable, I hope it's nothing remotely close to that. I honestly plan on following this story closely because if there was knowledge of a pending attack 48 hours before and nothing was done, wow.

September 14, 201214 yr Author From what I heard, there are 11 countries in that area of the world that we are having problems and where they are protesting.
September 14, 201214 yr Author Morning prayers are over about 6AM our time, all embassies and consulates ore on high alert for protests and violence today. The mystery behind the film maker is getting interesting. The guy wanted to incite extreme Muslims, well he got what he wanted, and now he is in hiding. All one has to do is look back to when the Satanic Verses came out, or a few years ago in Denmark over a cartoon which had a drawing of Muhammad, as I said, we knew this would happen so why the heck would someone want to incite these people? A HUGE majority of the people in these countries are against what happened even though they are upset over the film. The film maker lied to the actors as well, and he dubbed in audio after the fact. I say we turn him over, he created this mess, let him pay for it! I hope I am wrong, but this is going to get worse before it gets better.

He has the right to make that film here, as do you. And we should support his right to do so by what ever means possible.

He did not care about the risk for others. Much like the Reverend in Florida and even some of our well known TV preachers. They are not the ones in "harm's way." American workers, missionaries and officials are the ones on the front lines and the Dollar and pub is more important to these kind of people than innocent lives.
September 14, 201214 yr The G-Bomb would get everybody's attention. Jim, I don't agree with you much, but on this one we are in lockstep brother.

September 14, 201214 yr Are you guys really buying that all of this was a response to a movie on Youtube? The attack in Lybia was a well planned attack. This administration is using the youtube video as an excuse for failed policy.
September 14, 201214 yr Libya rescue squad ran into fierce, accurate ambush | Reuters It appears there were other deaths in rescue mission.
September 14, 201214 yr Author Umm, if he is an a American, then no. He has the right to make that film here, as do you. And we should support his right to do so by what ever means possible. I don't care who he is, he caused this mess, and he knew what would happen, he only wanted to incite! The main thing is 4 people are dead, just because this guy wanted to incite!

September 14, 201214 yr 4 people and soon to be more are dead due to the extreme ideas of the extreme religion called Islam. Egypt is a democracy, remember, Obama and his Arab spring overthrow ushered in a new democracy in Egypt, more freedoms. According to democracy a person can make a movie and be critical. Wow, someone shows Islam for what it is and look what happens.

Wow, someone shows Islam for what it is and look what happens.Obama's Arab Spring? Will you please give it a rest? The PEOPLE of Egypt decided on their own what THEY wanted to do, they had a democratic election, one that is more fair than we have back in the US. Want to go back to slavery? Tell people and other countries what they must do? Tell people in other nations they do not have the right to vote? That they should have monarchs rule over them? Interesting! Also interesting is who funneled money into the uprisings, it wasn't Obama, I'll tell you that. So stop with the anything and everything is Obama's fault. You also show your true colors once again, so becasue of the actions of a few you want to lump all Muslims into the same boat? EVERYONE involved said the movie was produced to incite radicals! Why did he lie to everyone in the film? He is hiding who he is, he did time in prison for producing meth as among other things, but you want to defend him by saying he was showing what everyone in Islam is about?
