Obama Issues Statement, "Strongly Condemns" Killing Of US Ambassador In Libya
While everyone, everywhere is earnestly scratching their heads if under the 'Fairness Doctrine' the murder of a US ambassador to a recently "liberated" Muslim country is considered casus belli, or merely the signal to turn the other cheek, and eagerly awaiting Hillary Clinton to advise on the issue, here is the just released statement by the president.
Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi
I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.
I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.
The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.

Hey everybody, let's get caught up and cry "invade them".
That'll help the economy along.

What goes around comes around America. Welcome to the rest of the world.
You have our full attention.....this is really gonna piss off everyone in every single 57 state.
what about the condemnation of dead women and children killed by US drones? Nevermind ...
They started it - Thomas Jefferson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War
Four Proud Words: "This Means War!"
You didn't get the memo? Drones are good! Insurgents are bad!
That where non American peoples children. According to the media their parents don't feel greef when they are killed.
see, they didnt kill that guy,....another group trying to take credit for their own success.. they couldnt have done it without the govt. and its help
What hole was he on?
Krugman is cheering the burning of the embassy- broken windows stimulus
Asshat
Muzloids dare to raid our embassy in Egypt on 9/11 and now this.
Muslims have nothing to fear from our muslim president- Hussein Obama is sympathetic to them
This pussy president doesn't have the balls to retaliate.
Retaliation against retaliation never really worked as justification.
Worked on Montezuma.

this is one of those posts that ends up going into the history of the crusades. I don't have the energy this morning to do that. Suffice it to say that when there is constant back and forth retaliation.. it just means that either party didn't "win" the first time.
Retaliate?
Your memory must be shorter than a gnat, NATO invaded/supplied weapons remember? Those people that killed the US citizens...those are your "allies" like Pakistan. Expect more of this nonsense as gas continues to climb to 8 a gallon over the next month and a half.
Not my allies.. Maybe president "suck-ass"s allies, but most definitely not MY allies. Suggesting that just because NATO propped them up/created them doesn't mean shit to me. I don't support NATO at all and I don't recognize NATO.
You're right about one thing.. I do expect more of this shit as a consequence of "no-balls-obama".
4 people have forgotten that we created the Mujahadeen and these clowns as well. 4 people don't ponder why we keep doing this same shit over and over expecting different results. We either cut off all ties with this part of the world or end it once and for all. No more fucking around trying to make them our friend. They'll never be..
Should've thrown a shoe!
War is the health of the State.
Minister Stevens had the misfortune to be slain "blue on blue" by the "good" terrorists, doing God's Work in Syria and expressing their displeasure over a movie trailer.
speaking of which... where is their new central bank facility and which is more secure the Embassy or the bank ? hmm
"Strongly condemn" is that like in A Few Good Men when Demi Moore "strenuously objects?"
it's like anything on Mr Presidents auto-cue
Well, I guess it beats "bittersweet." I'm reminded of another phrase from that same movie..."galactically stupid."
"Government has lost its ability to ever blindside me again. I no longer read the news and believe the written pages. I no longer assume the guilt of those I see arrested. I have learned to open my eyes and see a story other than the one that the government and the media want me to see." —Sunni Liston
How can this embarrassment of a president act outraged by this event? He is the one who armed these savages during the "arab spring". Chickens coming home to roost Barry? This is why we need to extricate ourselves from that part of the world, we do not have a clue as to how the minds of these savages function, nor should we care. Let them all destroy each other.
Yeah. We'd be so better off with the Republicans like Romney and McCain who keep arguing that we should be arming the revolution in Syria!
And the US MIC ìsn`t "arming the revolution" in Syria with the current occupant of 1600?
I've always thought the solution in the middle east was to let Israel and the arabs go to war and settle things once and for all. The rest of the world would turn our back and let the dominos fall wherever they may.
..and obama loses the election..
a Puppet Show sponsored by the banks, simply can't wait
This will be painted by the MSM as a triumph of Obama's brilliance before it is over, and the disciples will worship at the feet of their messiah even more devoutly. This will not hurt Obama. This will allow him to do all that is necessary to win the election. Romney will be an afterthought. The October surprise arrived a little early.
To please the masses, Obama needs to kill. In the eyes of the sheep, he is looking weak. To prove his worth to them, he must demonstrate brutality. They will feel safer, as this will reinforce trust that he will not use his violence against them and thus is sheltering them from evil. Thus, the electorate naturally demands that blood shall flow and the sooner the better. Besides, TV viewership is falling and the stations are craving for a propaganda fest. For best results, finish off with war bonds bought by the Fed and the election is a done deal.
Thumbs-up for the observation. Blood for votes. This is what happens when a Presidency is run by its campaign committee, instead of vice-versa.
The question is who will he bomb - Syria? An attack on Iran at this time would seem to be extraordinarily stupid. MSM made no mention of the "coincidental" date for the attacks.
How many virgins for a rocket attack?
NICE religion
Ah yes, our dividend for the US investment in the Arab Spring. And delivered on September 11th, I'm sure just a strange coincidence. Our foreign policy is a fucking joke, and this President is now every tin-pot Islamic dickhead's prison bitch.
Of course, we have a Private Equity banker against him. What a fucking choice.
America used to be a country run by stand up individuals with serious balls. Teddy Roosevelt was a bad ass. His wife and mother died on the same day. Distraught, he left politics, went to work on a ranch in the Dakotas, walked into a bar and was hassled by a local hood, and he dealt with the problem by knocking the thug flat on his ass with an uppercut.
He then organized the town to run the asshole out of the district.
Look at the shit we are left with now.
Teddy Roosevelt also delivered a 90 minute speech after having just been shot in the chest. The bullet was slowed by a steel eye-glass case, and the pages of a thick tome in his vest. However, the bullet entered into his chest cavity, and realizing he was not spitting up blood, Teddy knew his lungs had not been punctured.
He also actively campaigned against an incumbent fellow Republican president, aggressively marshalling votes for a quasi-third party, placing second in the general election (behind Wilson and ahead of Taft the incumbent).
Here is the platform for Mr. Roosevelt's spin-off Republican convention.
"To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."
We have nothing but hacks compared to this man.
Damn Right! Let's start the Bull Moose Party again!!! Fuck the libertarians, BULL MOOSE!!!
Down 1? Apparently we have some supporters of maintaining the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics.
Well, they have our IP addresses. Been nice knowing ya...
Teddy is probably one of the greatest US Presidents of all time. Modern Republicans should move in his direction and stop swinging from Reagan's nuts.
"They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives."
America is committed to freedom? Then why'd you sign NDAA 2012, Obummer? America is committed to justice? Then why in fucking hell is Corzine still not incarcerated, Obomber? America is in partnership with nations? Then why do you keep sending troops to invade other nations, Obumbler?
America doesn't stand in stark contrast to the killers of these people. We just use the gubmint to do the same types of deeds. How many civilians of other nations have been killed by drones again? Nobel Peace Prize my ass.
Jimmy Carter ???
Yea, Carter sucked. But the record since then is hardly brilliant is it?
Regan and Lebanon
Clinton and Somalia and Balkans
Bush attacking Afghanistan and Iraq but sucking up to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
Obama Supporting Arab Spring
Congress continuing to pay Egypt 2 billion a year
USA allowing Israel to continue to build settlements to satisfy the religious wings in the US and Israel
Putin calling our bluff in Ukraine
And hey, Obama, when is Guantanamo closing?
it's not just the market rigged....it is the whole world ....
Obama, sorry to say, naive guy puppet
Thanks, GWB. Oh, wait, is he still President?
The truth is that weakness breeds contempt among evil men, and the U.S. appears horribly weak to the worst of those men. This sort of thing will become commonplace and results from the cultural breakdown of the United States over the last 50 years. We are lost, as a nation, and the cultural Left that rose in the Post-WWII era has won. They will celebrate chaos and anarchy, as it feeds into their ultimate goal to impose Leftist/Statist tyranny. The current President is the reflection and the puppet of this horror.
If Obama was any sort of real leader, the planes would be on their way from Souda Bay by now.
There are no innocent bystanders there now, just casulties of a conflict they instigated.
As a side note, America should not tolerate these types of messages from pissed-off MOSAD agents.
If Obama wants to snub Netanyahu, it's his privlige as the American President...we should not be forced into conflict, but American blood must be avenged and unfortunatly that means Libiyan blood, at this time.
How do you know it wasn't the Mossad the popped this guy to get the marines in to protect the new bank?
If Osama was any sort of real leader, he would have took out an entire american city with one of those funky oversized suitcases , in RETALIATION for US atrocities in the east
We tried that approach already. Iraq and Afghanistan. How's that working out? Two trillion out the window an an exhausted military wondering what it was all for, and both are eager to work against us if it'll make them a few extra bucks. Brilliant.
Maybe you're right, Bombing the shit out of them might make the entire region start liking us more. That should calm things down.
Maybe you can go be stupid somewhere else.
Eat Me, Moron.
Is that all you've got in response to facts and logic?
ZH ain't no kindergarten playground, dude!
Dumbass, WE put the people in that wasted the guy. It was OUR guys. Everyone is SICK of us. We are the pariahs of the world and RIGHTFULLY so. We have CRIMINALS running our govt and military.
Right. A bit difficult since they are shooting us with weapons we sold to them 18 months ago...trained by the CIA no doubt.
Its like watching The Three Stooges do Foreign Policy.
I have to agree.
Collateral damage is necessary to get the people in thse places to change their leadership and objectives.
As long as we try to participate in these very "neat" conflicts, those innocent bystanders never get involved and never put an end to things, even though they are the majority.
Those innocent bystanders are next weeks recruits....
Get the drones!!
i strongly condemn the killing of the middle class with endless printing ..but what do we matter?
Maybe Barry can send the former ambassadors family a condolence form letter in the mail thanking them for their sacrifice.
Ahahahahahaha the bastard was killed with a rocket made in the USA and given to the guys who wasted them by HIM. Serves him right. Yeah, spreading "Democracy" throughout the world, more like disease and pestilence and the world is SICK of us. Killed by a rocket made in the USA, the only things we DO manufacture in this country....WEAPONS.
I loooove our first couple so much - Obamas forever! I thougt the guy Michelle said we are lucky to have went over there and appologized for us being American already what went wrong??!?!!!
I feel a stern warning letter coming from the UN
..followed by sanctions
The amount of dislocated fingers from wagging them is staggering...can't even watch TV news right now. Somehow the weather is related to 9/11 and the embassy drive bys.
Wouldn't it be nice if we closed about 700 miltary bases around the world, ended a couple of wars and spent a litlle more time and money taking care of our own?
Yes, yes and yes.
It's obvious. If they're not going to bomb anyone, it means they wanted him dead. Obama and Hillary will normally bomb anything that looks at them funny, whether they can figure out who is actually to blame or not.
They are doing Lloyd Blankfein's work.
What a freaking pussy! Obama weakened this country further today, one step closer to his goal of USA destruction.
I'm surprised more have not been killed since we (NATO) killed almost 30,000 innocent people to take over their country and install a Rothschild central bank. See this very revealing speech by General Wesley Clark on the subject.
General Wesley Clark tells of how Middle East destabilization was planned as far back as 1991
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7NsXFnzJGw
Ah Yes, General Wesley Clark, that genius who almost started a shooting war with the Russians. In a bizarre twist of fate, the man who saved WWIII from occurring was none other than that high-pitched girly man singer, James Blunt.

I thought that the Muslim Brotherhood was a peaceful largely secular organization?
Not so much.....go figure.
I vote to have Hillary go replace the Ambassador.
How did this moviwe slip by Big sis? Why didn't Choomboy shut down the Internet so it could not be shown? Coming...
But ... but ... they were getting on so well ... in Syria.
Guess the oil is up for grabs again?
I'm sure they'll be painting names on some Hellcat missiles in the next few weeks.
Dont we just need to oppose the violence? Does the fact that he was a public servant matter? This guy is truly sick
"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants. "
You're all wrong. This is Bush's fault.
Didn't we just arm these fellows to the teeth?
Blow-back's a bitch ain't it
Can anyone tell me why I can no longer vote up or down on comments of readers? Am I on someones list,or is it my computer? Thank You

Yes, condemning an attack makes it not okay. In fact, strongly condemning the attack shows how angry we.
Ridiculous.
You cant trust those pissed off mossad guys to keep the safety on!
No one has yet to mention Abdelhakim Belhadj is head of the Libyan army. Linked to the Madrid Train Bombings, rumoured to have tried to start an insurgency in souther Thailand supposedly reformed by the efforts of Saif El Gaddafi. He led the most radical chunk of the rebellion and is now head of the army. What the fuck did you expect to happen after Gaddafi was gone? And now bunch of shills and cocksuckers are calling for war against Libya, boots on the ground.
