I was always against military involvement in Libya. Whether it was Obama or Romney calling the shots.
Bad idea, and now we see why. 1 ambassador and 3 other Americans dead. Embassy taken over... that help really paid off, huh?
Not so much.

A far, FAR lower cost in lives and materiel than we've paid in Iraq, though, eh? Talk about bad ideas!

By the way, the Bush administration "apologized" in almost exactly the same way to Muslims after riots broke out in the wake of a cartoon depicting Muhammed being published.
And they LITERALLY apologized to Iraq after Americans desecrated the Koran.
But Rappy will be along shortly to tell us all how that was different...

He's aggressively seeking U.S. citizenship, because he so badly wants to be American.
And do you have a problem with conservatives who are fiscally conservative more than socially conservative?
Are they not "real" enough conservatives for you?

Meanwhile, Romney continues to showcase his ignorance of foreign policy, diplomacy, and Libya. In his remarks he repeatedly referred to the "embassy at Benghazi." He should know that the embassy is in the capital of Tripoli; U.S. offices in cities that aren't the capital are called "consulates".
I'm surprised he didn't have a picture of a Russian ship behind him when he made such an error.

US Iraq raid draws Iranian anger
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6251167.stm

Iranian and Iraqi officials said the building was an Iranian consulate and the detainees its employees.
The US military said it was still investigating, but that the building did not have diplomatic status.
The troops raided the building at about 0300 (0001GMT), taking away computers and papers, according to local media.
AFP news agency quoted Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman as saying he did not know the nationality of the six but said they were "suspected of being closely tied to activities targeting Iraq and coalition forces".
"I can confirm for you through our forces there that this is not a consulate or a government building," he said.
However, Tehran said the attack violated all international conventions. It has summoned ambassadors from Switzerland, representing US interests, and Iraq.
Oh and lets not forget ole "Raymond Davis" and THAT whole mess.

Turnabout is fair play, this is far from the only incident but simply the best publicized, which wasn't much - point of it being thus.
You torture captives, you can't bitch when they do.
You violate embassies, you can't bitch when they do.
You want moral high ground, EARN it - sure, BOTH side use their embassies as cover for all manner of shenanigans from drug dealing (lookin at you, Israel) to sabotage and terrorism, hell we make an official policy of it, and so too do the nation states we're pretending are enemies at whatever moment in time, and with us progressively escalating that shit, this was inevitable.
So too is a nuclear exchange.
You wanna stop it - QUIT FUCKING OTHER PEOPLE OVER.
And quit voting for it as a policy.
Simple.

AU, I see that your post has turned into anti Christian, anti Romney, anti US by the self loathing Americans we have here. They can't come out and say that the muslims killed Americans on 9/11 because that would racist. Now these same Quislings would say we have to have an embassy we need dialogue and communicate.
The Ambassador has been murdered. 86' history lesson, airstrikes from the USS Ronald Reagan. Get it now. Act of War.
Mz Clinton should be fired. No one knew this was brewing. CRAP admininstration and state department. They don't know the deal in the arab world yet.
Reading the above posts who drag Christians and Romney into the discussion sickens me. Shows me the yellow backs of these so called Americans.
