you are the only one at the table who has the smarts. Right ON.
Thank you. Actually, I'm mad as Hell. I'd love to see protests outside embassies and consulates here in the USA, that turned violent as angry US citizens vented. Just so turnabout is fair play. I'd also love to see the US gov't make a military reprisal in response. The Israeli policy of disproportionate response has some future deterrence effect, MAYBE enough to make it worthwhile.
"We're mad-dog crazy. You storm our embassy, we cancel ALL your foreign aid and bomb your capital city. You don't like the response, don't do the deed. You want to make it an act of war on our part, OK, let's go. Oh, and BTW, all your diplomats are now personna non grata. You got 72 hours to get 'em ALL outta our country." If we scared 'em bad enough a couple of times, MAYBE they'd stop that gose cold, for fear of our response.

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.
Pretty sure there were no airstrikes from the "USS Ronald Reagan" in '86.

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.
Remember when Bush fired all his key people after 9/11 for not knowing what was brewing (despite quite specific warnings about EXACTLY what was brewing)?
Me neither.

Reading the above posts who drag Christians and Romney into the discussion sickens me. Shows me the yellow backs of these so called Americans.
Romney dragged himself into it, dipshit. Him and his "yellow back", which I'm sure you can't see while you're kneeling in front of him.

Cat - you're right about this thread being hijacked, to attack me personally and to vilify Christianity , for some weird reason, which has nothing to do w/ the events of the last couple of days.
And there's a shell game going on here as well. Even by the MSM , which has those TRYING to be objective confused and misinformed. I think this is purely by intent, too.
Regarding the time line of remarks released by this administration, ( which includes the various embassies, the State Dept, AND the White House ) and Mitt Romney. When an embassy releases a communique, or press release, it's understood to have been cleared by the State Dept, which works under the umbrella of the Obama White House.
First, the embassy in Cairo released a statement -
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," 6:18 a.m. EDT, shortly after noon Cairo time.
even BEFORE the attack took place. That seems odd. Not in a conspiratorial manner, but because it is in fact apologizing for OUR right to free speech, on 9-11, and when this 'video' was so obscure that virtually no one had even heard of it before. ( It's being claimed that this anti-Mohammed video was what caused the riots in the first place, which I find to be a dubious claim. )
Now, the news media are going out of their way to claim that this ISN'T an apology, and the same for a tweet which came from the Cairo embassy, which was later taken down.
The confusion only grows, as we're trying to piece together the events from across the ocean, 6 hours ahead of EST, at two different locations , where one attack took place, then another, and NO one knew of the death of the US ambassador and others until after initial statements had been made.
Clearly there is favoritism and partisanship going on in the reporting of all this, and finger pointing as to who said what, when, and to what they were referring, but at the end of the day, 2 US embassies were attacked ( now it's 3, but the Yemen was pushed back ) Americans were killed, and instead of being pissed off about any of that, we have posts against Christianity, ME, Romney.. almost anything EXCEPT the muslim extremists who did this barbaric act.
Man, talk about priorities being 180 degrees out of whack.

Andrew Sullivan is British. He's also more of a fiscal rather than social conservative.
He's aggressively seeking U.S. citizenship, because he so badly wants to be American.
But at this point he's not, so your statement about "American conservatives" is incorrect. If someone else made this mistake, you'd accuse them of lying.

And do you have a problem with conservatives who are fiscally conservative more than socially conservative?
Are they not "real" enough conservatives for you?
I actually prefer fiscal conservatives.
From what I can see, Sullivan is more Libertarian than classic Conservative. Having supported Obama in 2008 and 2012, He hardly seems to be a Republican.

There is not one documented report of President Bush missing a security briefing...let alone 60% of them.
I also note that it's 9/11 and the President was briefed on Monday about threats but chose not to take action. He chose poorly or not at all.

I'm hardly a 'Republican' either, but I sure as hell don't see how anyone can call themselves 'conservative' and support Obama. Fiscal, social or anything. Maybe in the parlance of the UK , his views are called ' conservative', but I don't see how he's even a libertarian, which would be more of a Ron Paul variety.
Also... Obama seems to have gone to bed, when this stuff was going on. He didn't even KNOW the fate of his missing ambassador when he went to bed.
3 am ? Hell no...Barry needs his beauty rest !

I have to laugh any time someone refers to Ron Paul as any kind of "libertarian". C'mon, the guy hasn't run as a libertarian in nearly 25 years; he's a Republican. That's what he runs as, that's what he serves as, that's what he identifies as.
I might have some respect for him if he'd actually man up and run as a libertarian, but he won't, because he doesn't believe in it.

Also, it was known before Romney shot off his mouth that there were American deaths involved.

There's also not one credible report that Obama missed "60% of them", but don't let facts get in the way of your little tantrum.
On the other hand, Bush's habit of "almost never" missing one really worked out great on 9/11, didn't it? I guess that whole "My Pet Goat" book he was reading at the time was really a top-secret briefing memo?

Romney correctly, courageously commented on this administration's lack of a response to those who attacked sovereign US soil, and instead tried to ridicule and mock our 1st Amendment rights.
" To defend and uphold the US constitution " - that's the oath this President took, but apparently, he and those in the Obama admin think that 'hurting the religious feelings of Muslims ' takes precedent over our own rights.
Shot his mouth off ? Hell, Romney was sounding like a President SHOULD sound, in such times. Barry ? He figured it was bed time, and could have cared less about the fate of his ambassador.
