    Lies.

    That statement wasn't about the attacks... they hadn't happened yet. That was made earlier in the day.

    That was saying that they were angry about a film depicting Mohammad as a gay owner of child slaves. A film that may or may not exist but is apparently being promoted by Terry Jones, the "Koran-burnings" Republican wingnut.

    But please... don't let facts get in the way of your hysterical ranting.

    Hey, has Mitt Romney released his tax records yet?

    U.S. ambassador to Libya killed in Benghazi attack

    BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on their car, a Libyan official said, as they were rushed from a consular building stormed by militants denouncing a U.S.-made film insulting the Prophet Mohammad.

    Gunmen had attacked and burned the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, a center of last year's uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, late on Tuesday evening, killing one U.S. consular official. The building was evacuated.

    Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya has died as Libyan militants stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

    Stevens, 52, was killed on Tuesday as 20 gun-wielding attackers stormed the U.S. consulate, angry about an American made film that depicts Prophet Mohammad as a -fraud and womanizer-.

    the CNN article mentions nothing about an apology....

    are the hateful voices in your head making things up again....?

    and the guy who said this is an idiot: "I just want to say, how would the Americans feel if films insulting leading Christian figures like the pope or historical figures like Abraham Lincoln were produced?"

    let me answer....

    a) many wouldn't give a fuck
    b) those who would be upset wouldn't attack an embassy and kill people....

    Maybe we should designate Israel as a terrorist State so that we can go after the Israeli extremists who take advantage of America's democracy. The death of these AMERICANS fall squarely on the shoulders of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu obsession to go to WAR. Our State Department people had the right to exist also and Israel denied them that right by their extermist activity.

    How many more wars and American lives have to be destoryed in Israel's quest to exist!!! You're a goddamn country, you exist.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Here is the statement released Tuesday by the U.S. embassy, in its entirety:

    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. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.

    Agree.

    Honestly, no matter how bad we have it here, and no matter how crazy some people are, this is fucking nuts. I'm not sure of the appropriate reaction, I hope our president is.

    They have walked back on this statement saying it was not approved by the White house...who knows?.....Hilary has sent out a statement this morning supposedly approved by the administration.
    Where is the Presidents statement? Certainly shows Bushes 9 minute delay on 9/11 was a very minimal time delay....

    And again, you fail to mention that this statement was posted BEFORE the attacks. It had to do with a film that was made intentionally to provoke and stir up trouble. And released right now to cause trouble for our current president but has backfired and underscored just how pathetic and desperate The GOP is for a sound byte that doesn't make mitt Romney look like... Well, Sarah Palin.

    There was no "apology" and -contrary to what Mitt Rimeny and Reince Prebus say - the president didn't "sympathize" with the terrorists.

    Honestly... Are you not even able to attempt to report a bit of fact with your spin!
