Oh and libya, this is the thanks we get? Another vote for a return to isolationism.
If we fail to respond to this, and if we couch this in language such as “the Libyans aren’t responsible, this was a rouge group” and other equivocation, fasten your seat belts. These insults (Egypt) are a grave issue and the administration needs to take them seriously, IMO. Failure to show strength will be interpreted very differently in their culture, no matter how much “restraint” we think we are showing.

They got upset over this retarded dump-on-film?
No where, has any outlet reported that Marines were killed.
Radical Islam will use any excuse to get their dander up and commit violence. During the Arab Spring, they didn’t like us, they just liked our drone strikes.
I know there was a reason we made the neutron bomb… I just know there was… right?
Sounds like FAST is en route. Lots of things to be angry about in this article.
Apparently there was some sort of apology offered by the US embassy regarding this film just before the attack when it was clear that the filthy mindless masses were becoming upset.
I second the call for the Monroe Doctrine Return…
Yup, we apologized for the First Amendment abuses of our citizens. The First Amendment is fine except when people are offended.
I disagreed with the pastor who just wanted to burn korans to incite while putting our troops in harm’s way, but this is different. If we can’t make educational films in our own country then we need to start causing mass casualties in the muslim world right away to keep the animals in line. Then we outlaw Islam in this country to show we mean it, because it does us absolutely no good whatsoever to condone the slop here. Put it in a social category with child marriage in the name of religion and be done with it.
We need to stop worrying about earning respect and start causing a deep sense of fear among them all. Can’t worry about hurting the good ones anymore, the problem is becoming too serious and they aren’t worried about us.
+1. Blowback anyone?
The really, really sad aspect to all of this is that Barry O has been on the phone all morning asking Jimmy Carter his advice.
Well, we obviously cannot buy respect or any semblance thereof so why continue the welfare? I don’t care if it was a film about Islam, someone burning a book, or even gay porn; it was an act by a citizen in our country and it’s protected by the First Amendment.
In fact, I wish they were offended by gay porn made in the US. Our “friends” across the world killing US citizens over gay porn made in the US would make more US citizens angry than some Islamophobes’ actions and perhaps might raise awareness as to how futile it is to attempt to buy “friendship” with these third world shitholes. And the net net would be “respect the right of freedom of speech for US citizens.”
This. The gay liberals would maybe understand that Islam doesn’t tolerate gays and in some places, even beheads them, just for being gay. Instead of supporting restrictions on the first amendment that offends.
Almost EVERYTHING, it seems, is offensive to islam. period.
Has anyone stopped to think about what’s really going on over there? We’ve seen two governments that I would categorize as friendly to the US, toppled with assistance from our own government. Then we stand idly by while they raid our embassies and kill American citizens. Meanwhile, we sit on the sidelines while Syria murders thousands and their government retains power. Maybe this is exactly what the administration wants, chaos and Muslim rule for the entire region. As soon as we pull out of AFG and Iraq, they will fall into chaos as well. Soon we won’t have a single ally in the region, except for Israel. We’re not exactly showing strong support for them, are we? Just an observation.
