US Ambassador To Libya, Three Others, Killed
Yesterday it was the US embassy in Egypt which fell victim to rioting as angry protestors stormed the building and replaced the US flag with a black one. Today, the violence shifts to Libya where the US ambassador and three staffers was just killed after an attack over a US-produced filmed deemed insulting to Muslims. Perhaps it is time for the US to replace one "pro-democracy" regime with another. From 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." Number of US ambasadors to Libya killed under Gadaffi's regime? Zero.

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 centre of last year's uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, late on Tuesday evening, killing one U.S. consular official. The building was evacuated.
The Libyan official said the ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was being driven from the consulate building to a safer location when gunmen opened fire.
"The American ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them," the official in Benghazi told Reuters.
There was no immediate comment from the State Department in Washington. U.S. ambassadors in such volatile countries are accompanied by tight security, usually travelling in well-protected convoys. Security officials will be considering whether the two attacks were coordinated.
Libyan deputy prime minister Mustafa Abu Shagour condemned the killing of the U.S. diplomats as a cowardly act.
The consular official had died after clashes between Libyan security forces and Islamist militants around the consulate building. Looters raided the empty compound and some onlookers took pictures after calm returned.
In neighbouring Egypt, demonstrators had torn down an American flag and burned it during the protest. Some tried to raise a black flag with the words "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his messenger", a Reuters witness said.
From Al Jazeera:
The US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, has died from smoke inhalation in an attack on the US consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, the country's interior ministry and security sources have said.
An armed mob attacked and set fire to the building in a protest against an amateur film deemed offensive to Islam's Prophet Muhammad, after similar protests in Egypt's capital.
The ambassador was paying a short visit to Benghazi when the consulate came under attack on Tuesday night, Al Jazeera's Suleiman El-Dressi reported from the eastern Libyan city.
He died of suffocation during the attack, along with two US security personnel who were accompanying him, security sources told Al Jazeera. Another consulate employee, whose nationality could not immediately be confirmed, was also killed.
Two other staffers were injured, Idrissi reported. The deaths were confirmed by Wanis al-Sharif, the Libyan deputy interior minister, to the AFP news agency.
Mustafa Abu Shagur, the Libyan deputy prime minister, condemned the "cowardly act of attacking the US consulate and the killing of [the ambassador] and the other diplomats".
The bodies of the dead were transported to the Benghazi international airport, to be flown to Tripoli and then onwards to a major US airbase in Germany.
Abdel-Monem al-Hurr, a spokesman for Libya's Supreme Security Committee, said on Wednesday that rocket-propelled grenades had been fired at the consulate from a nearby farm.
"There [were] fierce clashes between the Libyan army and an armed militia outside the US consulate," he said. He also said roads had been closed off and security forces surrounded the building.
A group calling themselves the 'Islamic law supporters' carried out the attack in response to the relaese of the film, Al Jazeera's El-Dressi reported.

I'm no fan of American real estate developers, but people can and should be able make whatever movie they want. Part of living in the vestiges of a free society.
But God DAMN the man who would kill in protest of it. Now, where can I sign up to donate to the production?
Freedom of speech, Motherfucker!
You don't really believe this is about a movie do you?
Freedom of speech is fine as long as does not affect the freedom and dignity of others. Otherwise, get used to get the answer to the insults.
I hope the murderers and their apologists are feeling shame
But when parents complain Hollywood making movies that twist their children's heads they laugh and say, "bullshit" and "turn off the TV". But when some elitist jerkfuck lying thieving politician gets wasted because of some video everyone is supposed to get upset. Maybe we've discovered a way to get rid of these scum, just make videos so they have to run for their lives from the people offended by the videos.
It is not up to some nutters 1000's of km away to dictate what can be said & done in the US and even if it's a "good or a bad idea".
The implication of your, "the movie made them do it so we have to be ashamed", is that muslims are just fleshy robots that can be programmed over the internet to perform ritual violence for shit & giggles, a rich vein to exploit, and racist.
The truth is that idiots will keep doing idiotic things and blame others for their stupidity and failure in life!
Like QE, Yankee regime changes aren't what they used to be. The chickens are coming home to roost much sooner.
Ah 'americanism', what an efficiency.
The other bootlegger, Muhamad Gaddafi, he would have taken him a large effort to achieve such a result.
As 'Americans' overthrew him to select a more appropriate population to spread 'Americanism' on, the result is showing.
Those 'Americans' in Libya are upping the game.
US citizenism at its best...
Happy snaps!

MARINES should have been given the "All Clear" to Fire on these Effin' people and lob a couple grenades..that would have cleared the streets pretty darn quick.. PROBLEM IS: Comrade OBAMA supports the Muslim Brotherhood...If Hillary has any brains, she's quit now...
wake up you're living in the matrix
clearly, they hate us because we're free.
"The American ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them," the official in Benghazi told Reuters."
The gunmen were probably CIA assets. Let's forget about the tens of thousands of Libyans killed by the "good" Al Qaeda under NATO finance and control during the illegal war. We have a central bank in Libya now and that's all that matters!
Tuco
Serves the guy right. He was sitting in his office in Libya when we were murdering thousands of Libyans. Now it's HIS turn for some REAL justice. Blown to bits by your own rocket made in the USA by the thugs YOU put into power as you were running away for your life with your tail tucked between your legs. Poetic justice.
Love Hillary's quote in the NY Times article. "Nothing justifies these acts of violence ..." unless you're given the green light by the CIA.
true that
however, the people with the rockets are not going to stop there
It makes me sick to think that even a penny of my tax dollars went towards turning countries like Libya and Iraq into what they are today, places where average folk can't even walk out there doors without wondering if today is their day to get dropped into the meat grinder.
not to mention all those flag draped coffins courtesy of a US tax payer funded Taliban...
yet try to refuse to pay your tribute to the death worshiping psychopaths in DC on perfectly reasonable moral grounds and they will throw your ass in the hole and medicate you until you don't remember who you were when you started objecting in the first place.
and lets not forget all those returning vets who are committing suicide, are so strung out on legal, prescription medication that they can't function in society or are dieing from those same medications. not to mention after surviving there tour of duty in service to the empire they return home only to be shot dead by the police while picking their kids up from school for acting "erratically" or in their own home after halving it shot up by a swat team with their family in it. or how about being cracked in the head by a canister from a grenade launcher whilst attending a protest, ironically, and winding up with a fractured skull. and, of course post anything on facebook about 9/11 being an inside job, the war on terror being a falsehood and that we all might be better of without the DHS,TSA or the federal reserve and they throw you in a mental hospital against your will and medicate that non sheeple view right out of you.
thank you for your service.
surreal.
but hey at least we all got to see the pictures of that nifty "mission accomplished" banner draped across the bridge of that aircraft carrier right?
Killing an ambassador is an act of war and should be treated as such.
Time for a couple of drone strikes.
this is what is expected
Still not voting for Romney.
Ghadafi's son should lease a "miss me yet?" billboard for his dad in D.eath C.entral area,imo.
Most wars are based on religion, but what if when you die there are no angels and you just turn into shit dirt like the cat I saw today that got run over by a car? Killing because your Santa Claus is better than my Santa Claus is pretty crazy
its only THAT religion that's killing people because they are "offended"
yup, yet the other Abrahamic religions does not kill in obvious, they only possesses the sophistication and kindness to offer the world the Humanitarian Aids and/or R2P ~ Right to Plunder.
True it may not be sanctioned but practices are done in their names as smoke screen at least... from time immemorial till today
islam is NOT an Abrahamic religion, as much as they would like you to believe they are.
Agree or not, they just treat blasphemy as a deadly offence.
It's obvious for them that blasphemy is not just ANY offence.
Seems some outsiders find it too hard to grasp.
i grasp it well, what you seem not to grasp is that its murder
remind me again why we even waste our time and money, like the 4-6 trillion we blew on iraq, to try to spread "democracy" and nation "build" for a bunch of people who could care less especially when we can't even take care of our problems and people here at home........
so that some people can get rich
The sand niggers came with the oil .... we had no choice ! Besides oil, all Arab countries combined export less than Finland !
These aren't the Americans you're looking for.
Wouldnt surprise me if this was just another false flag..

all fales are flags, not all flags are false
somehow, I cant help but wonder if this morning while getting ready for golf, if the traitor in chief Obama isnt singing loudly to himself in the shower with a big smile on his face.
Paging Ivan Pavlov, please pickup a red courtesy phone.

Very good link Zaku,
From the link:
http://www.moonofalabama.org/
****As ambassador Chas W. Freeman explained in a speech last week:
Islam is a perverse "religion" that teaches to hate and, if possible, kill the infidels. Mohammed and his goons were prime examples (as opposed to a pocket of Christians a thousand years after Christ who launched the crusades). However, I find it hypocritical to denounce only one side, while the other side drops atomic bombs, napalm, land mines, and assassinates everyone they wish, and destroy countless villages and cities. The problem is that the other side is a mix of false-Christians, Jews, and atheists. So it's hard to group them under a single name (as opposed to Muslims). Furthermore, that other side doesn't share a holy scripture, language, nationality, etc, so it's even harder to define this collection of evil-doers. They're a mix of profiteers (bankers and the military industrial complex), and egotistical maniacs (politicians), brainwashed megalomaniacal foot-soldiers, and bribed/blackmailed victims.
I try to be objective and denounce both sides for being evil. It's just not right to accuse one side and not the other. It doesn't make sense to say "this guy blew himself up and killed 20 innocent people" and ignore that the day before his family was massacred by a drone strike. Both sides are wrong; both sides promote hatred and evil; and both sides need to be denounced.
BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ambassador & co. were not actually killed, but rather turned into undercover hitmed/false flag operatives/etc.
Mainstream media nearly never gives the true or whole story.
i would not be surprised if you wildly speculated without any basis in fact
Invade Iraq!!!
From the desk of I wish I had a big Dick Cheney:
Get rich quick strategy #1,354.
I've seen and heard just about enough! It is time to re-colonize the dark continent. These poor dumb mongrels do not give a shit about anything other than homosexual sex and the prophet Mohammed. What do you say we completely fuck things up with drone wars and mindless assasinations, then when things get completely out of hand, we go in and plunder each and every nation of its minerals and all natural resources. So what if there are a shit load of casualties. We can blame the dumb Jews and the Iranians!
Sincerely,
Cockbreath
anyone remember this: put down the books, pick up a gun, we're going to have a whole lot of fun and it's 1,2,3, what are we fighting for?
Drudge...
USA and Israel in open feud...
White House declines Netanyahu request to meet with Obama...
'Schedule Full'...
Announces 'Letterman' Appearance...
WTF?
Whatever one's take on the matter is,if citizens in U.S. displayed the belief and passion the other side displays REGARDING the Constitution and fraud monetary system,would we be here discussing this day to day shit pie system thats in place.All by design,nothing new here.
Everyone on TV is talking about how smart this guy was. I am not that smart, but I wouldn't have taken that job for $50 million a year. We just killed their leader because he was in favor of an North African gold backed currency. It doesn't take much to piss off pissed off people.

Let's see I'm and American Indian that has never been to Israel. I just haven't drank the anti-Semitic Kool-Aid that so many on this page seem to have consumed.
But I do have a problem with Muslims I have read the Qur'an and I don't like what it says. If that makes me a Zionist racist. So be it.
I know some pseudo-intellect will come along and say that these are only to be taken metaphorically, and that most Muslims don’t believe these verses. However it’s not the nominal, cultural Muslims that I worry about. I worry about the billion+ Muslims who actually believe these are the literal words of Allah and must be taken with absolute seriousness.

you may not really like what you're gonna read ... but please read through the Rivera stories.
How the Vatican created Islam by Alberto Rivera
http://scr.bi/dEbmgh
There are three direct Vatican Banking mechanisms used to channel money into the United States:
(i) The Vatican Bank number UID# 014780 BIC/SWIFT : IOPRVAVX a.k.a ISTITUTO PER LE OPERE DI RELIGIONE of VATICAN CITY in the VATICAN CITY STATE and for which there are seven (7) banking participants as the landing banks for international wire transfers into the USA and who directly benefited by putting Obama into office:
0001 THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON;
0002 JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.;
0008 CITIBANK, N.A.;
0103 DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST CO AMERICAS;
0108 HSBC BANK USA;
0256 STANDARD CHARTERED BANK;
0509 WELLS FARGO NY INTL FKA WACHOVIA;
needless to say the Vatican Bank and the participating banks are generally owned by the Vatican through the Rothschild who have managed the Vatican asset SINCE 1824 and keep that control tightly within the family circle even as far back as ALEXANDER HAMILTON who having married a Rothschild cousin setup the BANK OF NEW YORK in 1784 that only after great effort became chartered after 1791 when he became the US Treasurer; and
(ii) further, the INTERNATIONAL CATHOLIC UNION OF THE PRESS (UCIP) is used for the World Forum of Professionals and Institutions in Secular and Religious Media with the Address: UCIP, CP 197, 1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland and the Vatican name of the account holder: UCIP with the name of the Bank: IOR, Vatican Swiftcode: IOPRVAVX Account number in Europe: 16586001 http://www.ucip.ch/une/ib.htm and in which the Vatican Interbank clearing account in the US is with JPM CHASE MANHATTAN BANK NEW YORK Account no.: 001-1-97500; and
(iii) further yet, The Vatican Bank: ISTITUTO PER LE OPERE DI RELIGIONE = INSTITUTE FOR THE RELIGION WORKS in which the Institute for Works of Religion (Italian: Istituto per le Opere di Religione – IOR) commonly known as Vatican Bank was formed during World War 2 and is located inside the Vatican City.

We know the administration celebrated the revolutions in egypt and libya that gave us these regimes, and went so far as to provide them military support. Now Obama can reap what he has sown. I am having trouble imagining him responding to this in a decisive manner that will be perceived as effective leadership, I can't see how the liberal media can spin this in his favor--though they will try.
When has Obama ever acted in a decisive manner? Hell, during the debates on Obamacare, Democrats where whining that he was nowhere in sight and not providing the leadership they needed. His own party!
I bet the Pritzker Family is well-satisfied with Obama services for them in Chicago
.
Wonder how long until the MSM tries to link this in some convoluted manner to Iran? 10, 9, 8 ....
Didn't we help the rebels set up a central bank last year?
Why are they so angry?
Because the Americans are no longer wanted......they did the job they were recruited for to topple Ghadaffi now they are nit wanted any more.......
For those of you who would like an interesting perspective on this matter, may I suggest a book called "The Devil We Don't Know" by Nonie Darwish. Ms. Darwish was a Muslim raised in Egypt and Gaza. Her father was associated with Egyptian Military Intelligence under Nasser. She now lives in the USA and has converted to Christianity.
I'm not trying to engage in a debate about US foreign policy, I'm just curious why there were no US Marine defending our embasies and consulates?
Probably being infiltrated into Syria to protect the Al-Qaeda guys Clinton has sent in as a Shadow Government
The USlessA's are suitably primed and pissed.
Time for a yet another war in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ...
By the way, is there any clue yet what the offending film is?
Maybe it's a virtual film,
like,
in your mind,
like,
a rumor.
Ha! "Rumors of war", as it were. (to coin a bibliecal reference here)
Wonder what could be the source of a rumor here.
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm,

"Looks like they nailed one of the US' fair haired boys and a rising star of the security establishment. Stevens was assigned to Libya as the envoy to the NTC just as regime change was getting under way. He would have been the US' point person for coordinating regime change. As such, he was no small fish.
This could have been perpetrated by anyone not enamored with the results of regime change in Libya. In mafia terms, the US got their capo, they got the US' sotto capo.
And the beat goes on..."
C'mon Chirldren WAKE UP!
On the anniversary of the False Flag Operation that has set up this whole looming CATASTROPHE
On the Day when the Psychopath Netenn-blood-sucking-War-Monger is pushing hard for WAR against Iran
On the Day when the book comes out that documents just how much CHEE NEE and Rice and Wolfunschmidt lied about 'not knowing what was going to happen'
They set up a truly professional State Department official who could have actually done the art of diplomacy some good
Come On Children, Wake UP! The EVIL EMPIRE is TRULY EVIL
It would be nice to be able to pinpoint the source: just WHO and WHEN informed US officials, indicating this attack took place because of a movie?
Because I have a feeling this hit had been planned, and coordinated with the Egyptian attack on the US embassy, and TIMED for 9/11.
The rest sounds like political double-speak: it happened because of the movie. Or the looney Florida preacher, who wants to burn the Koran. Because, in the liberal mind, that would make it OK to go bonkers, and start killing people ... PERFECT justification ...
It's the movie maker's fault. Or, Terry Jones'. There is NOTHING WRONG with the murderers, they were within their rights, defending their religion.
These politicians are going to get MORE of us killed ...
