America Under Attack: Pictures Of Assault On US Consulate In Libya

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It has been a long time since US territory abroad, i.e., a US embassy, was openly attacked. It has been even longer, or about 33 years, since a US ambassador was last killed in the line of duty in 1979 Afghanistan. Both happened last night. Below, courtesy of Reuters, are pictures of the event.

American's wouldn't storm a consulate over a "cartoon" because they simply don't care enough about any particular subject.

I disagree.  I take my worship of GOD very seriously but I'm not going to kill someone over making fun of GOD since we're told in Romans to leave the vengeance to Him.

It's not obvious that the whole "Western" approach to government is superior, if you take a look around at what we've got.

The separation of church and state concept came only after hundreds of years of religiously motivated domestic unrest in the British Empire.  This separation was not constructed because people WANTED it--it was constructed for the same reason the Europeans eventually decided to stop killing each other.  It was either continue with religious-motivated violence and collapse society to pre-literate levels or make a change and SURVIVE.

Despite the long-standing tension between the different Muslim factions, the people at large haven't had a modern opportunity to try to destroy each other without other outside interests interfering.  So it's easy to understand why "religion" and "politics" are so closely intertwined in the Mid-East.

It would make a lot more sense to recognize the risks inherent in basing the entire US economy on oil from under "those people's" feet and start gradually shifting away from total dependence on that resource. 

Yeah, we can dig and drill our own oil, but keeping that powder dry is a pretty good idea if you believe the US is still going to be around in 30 years.  As long as anyone on the planet will exchange real commodities for our funny colored paper, it seems likely our business interests will continue to fleece those suckers.

U.S. pastor Terry Jones, who had inflamed anger in the Muslim world in 2010 with plans to burn the Koran, said he had promoted "Innocence of Muslims", which U.S. media said was produced by an Israeli-American property developer.

You mean to tell me we are attacking ourselves again?  Espionage, the gift of the buying and selling of the so called "intelligence"  and "National Security" which NSA / CIA own out in Utah.  PsyOp truly is a form of Art.

Al CIA-duh

A division of an intelligence agency or entity who’s primary purpose is to create the illusion of, or appearance of, a real threat for the purpose of consumption by the general population, while conducting clandestine operations which are often in opposition to the benefit, needs, or desires of the general population.

·   "The Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that from the CIA's inception in 1947 to 1987, 6 million people had died as a result of CIA covert operations."

Throw in another 2 million from 1987 to 2007, interpolated from the above estimate.

"At least 869,720 people have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since the U.S. and coalition attacks, based on lowest credible estimates." So let's call that another 1 million.

----------------------

That makes 9 million total.

What is the State departments goal - to destroy our friends/allies and build up our enemies for some New World Order?

Barack Husein Obama - Seems like this muslim marxist's goal is to divide and destroy - not even conquer.

Along with the Clinton's and their "Global Initiative" - They consider themselves citizens of the world -as they fly around in their private jets paid for by the working serfs - But what would these animals in Egypt and Libya do to them if they had the chance... really...

 

Obama took an oath to defend and protect the United States of America to enforce it's laws and uphold the constitution.

he does not even understand the separation of powers and the Supreme court.

His goal is the destruction transformation of the USA to what?????

 

Ohhhh... and Germany just saved the Euro! for another day...

It actually IS working.  This is what democracy looks like and Hillary couldn't be more pleased.

With just a few mercenary dollars she and Hussein Obama turned a solvent, basically debt-free and peaceful nation into a permanent arab chaos state that can only exist via bloodsucking loans from western loansharks.  The religion of peace is so constructed and throughout its history, this is the way it has worked.  when the host begins to die off, the parasite must conquer another patch of kafirs to subdue and suck the prosperity out of.

So, who's next?  Why, Assad of course!  Just look at all the wars Assad has started over the last decade and the dire threat he  in his western business suit poses to the children of the United States - why any day he'll be here with weapons of mass destruction to kill and eat your children.  The solution is obvious:  hire Al Queada mercenaries to slaughter civilians, arrange the bodies for a photo-op, and blame Assad.  Then "find" weapons of mass destruction and go to the UN seeking a mandate to invade and "secure the weapons"

Be sure to leave sectarian Islamist Fundamentalists in charge - they'll need funding from western loansharks since they are basically incapable of erecting a prosperous economy.

Who's next after that?  Why Somalia was certainly on that original PNAC list, weren't they?  and pesky Lebanon....  Hezbollah sure made that one messy to deal with ... .may have to leave that one alone for now - yemen would be easy and we've got all the kindling we need in Pakistan and Bahrain...

the distraction from truth that figureheads supply.

if you genuinely believe that "Hillary" and "Obama" have the power to make things happen, as opposed to merely acting out their well compensated roles, then the myth is working. . . overtime.

but yes, the balance of your post shows you do have some backstory as to a larger plot - which is worth an upvote as it sits amidst astonishing ignorance in this thread.

TY Pods. Paul is a 911 truth denier.

What I'm not understanding is whether or not you folks buy the line that a movie incited this.

I haven't seen the movie and, judging from what I've heard about it, I probably wouldn't like it.

I am a conspiracy theorist, often, who believes false flags are very real.

I'm just asking how we know, already, this early, that this is a false flag and not just some crazy Islamists pissed because of a movie? Have we not seen other examples of jihadists (or hit men or whatever term you want) trying to kill people over cartoons, burning Korans, etc?

Now, I'll buy that the movie was made and promoted in order to stir up a hornet's nest. And I'll buy that this could well be a false flag perpetrated by agent provocateurs, but where is the evidence for it?

911? Tons of evidence for an inside job--tons. Muslims probably had little or nothing to do with it.

Maybe elements of our MIC are behind the production and dissemination of the film or even behind these thug-like activities.

But what kind of people kill folks over a movie?

I too find the smothering thing a bit odd.  Was he captured and killed by someone who didn't realize how valuable he would have been as a hostage?  It's all just too convienant. Starting to think that Obummer has really pissed someone off, that someone has the horsepower to make life miserable for him.

I'm also willing to bet that you can't swing a dead cat in Lybya wihtout hitting an Mi6, CIA operative.  How would something like this get missed?  Or why would something like this be put in motion?

As for the Marines, they really should just be let off the leash once anyone comes over the wall.  At that point, it's war, not crowd control.

My condolences to the families of the brave men that have died. Libya has oil, we will not be shaken out so easily.  SpecOps soldiers are supposed to provide embassy security so I am surprised this type of thing happened.  Was the security team told to stand down, or we they somewhere else? The report I read was that the ambassador was captured as his car was fleeing to a safer location? Seems like a strange decision to flee in a car, I think I would have parked myself in the ebassy next to the dudes with guns and rode it out Alamo style.

Marines provide embassy security.  Problem is that they are under the command of the state department.  In this case it looks like they were not allowed to present an effective response.

The`re not the only ones.  And the rules might be entirely different for each group at a single installation.  The are distinct 4 head and facial hair patterns at US embassies- Marines, DSS, CIA, and State.  Look at the corpses and you can figure out who was with the Ambassador when he died.

Remember - when Muslims are fanatical and murderous, it's bad, but when Jews do it, it's "anti-Semitic" to notice, even if they're arranging to murder or ethnically cleanse Arabs, who are... Semites.

 

Don't you get it?   Greater Israel must be built with American blood and treasure, although... you won't find many Jews in the US military. Those inclined to go a'warin' join the IDF.

Obama had to share with one of the greatest foreign policy experts in the world, Jay Leno. 

From the article:

"Laying out an argument for his emerging foreign policy doctrine, Obama distinguished the U.S. steps in Libya from the invasion and nine-year war in Iraq. He argued that by building a broad international alliance of European and Arab nations against Gadhafi, the United States saved American lives and money and achieved its goal."

More lives lost.  Obama is a failure.

Hey, it's right there near the top of the morality short-list held holy by Joos, Xtians, and Mooslums

  "Thou shalt not make graven images"

  Several judges in the southern U.S. insist that the list is critical to our judicial process and moral foundation; I wonder what their thoughts are on recent events?  Here's a multiple-choice test:

a) The U.S. embassy bombing in Libya represents a moral flourishing, as people of an Abrahamic tradition defend God's Law (and his Prophet) from graven images by godless westerners.

b) The U.S. embassy bombing in Libya represents a moral failing, as Bronze-Age stupidity rears its head yet again, demonstrating its profound drag-effect on human progress.

 

By what authority do moderate Joos, Xtians, and Mooslums (are there any?) ignore God's super-important morality short-list?

gotta love our leaders.  when the GOP is in control, they repsond with trillion$ in wars...but when the Dems are in charge, they roll over and apologize.  c'mon people 80% of us are in the middle of these two extremes, you can show you power but excersie restrain.  the choices aren't simply; a) bomb them to hell or b) turn the other cheek. 

We do lead the world in diplomacy, but it think we are proving every day we can not handle the responsibility.  so just close all mid-east embassies and pull every last american out of the area.  leave them to their own devices..they need dictators.  any religion (islamic law, in this case) and democracy can not exist side by side.  religion in infallable.  democracy allows for reason and evolution of thought (well at least we hope).

Great analysis, as I posted elsewhere, this is the boomerang effect of US policy in ME against "secular" regimes undertaken by the current admin.

well these same shills did it brutally to Q-daffy; not that I liked the guy, but capture and trial would have been more appropriate; now the US ambassador. Those execution photos were brutal and inhuman.

I wonder what that shill they put in Q-daffy's place has to say about this; his supporters now turning on the envoy of past "saviours" of this own power clique. The head man of Benghazi has to publicly come out on this lack of first duty to foreign envoy that his regime was supposed to provide: inviolability of the diplomatic compound. 

Fake power structures and populist support remains what it is : gutter politics.

When Israel conducts foreign policy for you, you get the enemies and the response that Israel gets.

Netanyahu’s performance during America’s election campaign is all you need to know about America’s economic and war crises.

First, with neo-con compliance and AIPAC leverage on the Congress, Netanyahu tries to blackmail Obama into a U.S. strike on Iran and, if not that, a promise to use military action if Iran does not eliminate all of its nuclear ambitions.

When that didn’t work, he now threatens Obama that he’ll go to war regardless and the White House now says it’s too busy to entertain a visit from Netanyahu at the moment.

Meanwhile, the attacks on Libya and Egypt are thrust into the political campaign, not by Obama, but by Romney instantly criticizing a White House response and mischaracterizing an Egyptian Embassy wording regarding the attacks as U.S. wording that political experts now label as a Romney tactical mistake.

Make no mistake, Romney’s actions are really Sheldon Adelson’s actions. It’s impossible to identify Romney’s feelings in that he is an open vessel now pulling out all the stops to get pro-Israel media and pro-Israel money to get him into the spot he has wanted as a small boy.

On top of this, Politico has a story this morning showing Wall Street would prefer Romney but now feels that he will lose the election.

Israel has become the campaign issue; if Romney doesn’t back off, it’s going to really hurt him. Polls show the American people are very opposed to war with Iran. In order to win the election, Romney needs money, but you can’t win elections with money alone, you need voters.

And, if these pressures in the political campaign aren’t enough, here come the Chicago teachers already making more money that all teachers in the United States, on strike, and hoping to pressure the Administration into supporting them.

The race to the White House has become America’s most fragile and dangerous institution.
