Good thing then that it never happened.

I think the American's live in their own protective plastic bubble that they have created for themselves, called life, and are out of touch with the real world.
Btw, if you're trying to talk about Americans, plural, you don't need that apostrophe in there (American's = possessive and Americans = plural meaning more than one).

They are to me a disgrace to the U.S. and to freedom of speech. You mean to tell me, your going to stand up and tell Americans, who are fee and free to say what they think of any religion, that it's ok to do what a bunch of radicals did and are still doing in the middle east????????? It's ok to kill, but it's not ok to make a movie saying, what you feel about the Muslim religion????? MY GOD what could they be thinking?

Why aren't they saying, you have killed people over words...that is right, you've taken the lives of people, over words, and WE WON'T TOLLERATE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention, why weren't those American Embassies heavily guarded? That's what I want to know?
I'll tell you why, b/c the Administration would rather cut costs, and hire consultants to do the work that our military should be doing. Obama only cared about bringing people home, he didn't care about the fact that those people left over there, were unprotected. He wanted people to say, Oh, Look, Obama is ending the war, by bringing people home??????????? He didn't care about the rest of our military left over there, or the American's in the embassy working over there...he just wanted to look good to the American's that wanted the war to end.

People, get serious, we will always have a presence in the middle east, just like we will always have a presence in Germany? I didn't see Obama bring any men home from any of those other countries that we've been in since world war II.?????????

I just cannot believe how stupid this country is becoming...and how dare HILLARY stand up there and put down American Free Speech, by doing that, she is saying, It's ok all you middle eastern bums, you radicals who love to kill/murder....our country was Wrong and caused it. Sheeeeesh, I turn my back on this Administration and hope like anything, they get voted out of office, and I like a stupid fool, voted for Obama....what a coward...he has caused this country more debt then Bush did in 8 years....and all he does, or can do, is speak very well, he is a disgrace, and I thought no one could be worse then Bush. Sheeesh, and I cannot believe how many American's stand by this joke of an administration....
Now, now, now, you'll get over it. We've had poor leaders and presidents before that screwed up and we've gotten over their stupidity. Ronald Reagan's admin. was warned about an attack on marine in beruit lebanon and Bush 43 was warned about 9/11 and both of them dropped the ball. People who lost relatives and friends during these attacks have not gotten over it. But if you weren't directly affected, you'll get over it in time. Time heals most wounds.

GO Obama!!

Seems these people don't have a clue how the parole system works, nor do they understand that the President of the United States doesn't personally deal with parole violation issues.

I mean, protest, if you want, but to murder and take human life? That is what this is about, not a frigin movie....there are a whole lot of movies I disagree with, am I going to go out and kill someone b/c I do???????? How utterly henous and extremely barbarick.....
but yes, you are right, those people are so primitive. Did you see how some of them held up signs and said, "This is not the way we feel", so you cannot condemn an entire nation for the stupidity of some...but let me tell you, you cannot rehabilitate a belief such as theirs, the only thing you can do is condem it, and fight it....I just cannot believe what Hillary did, what a coward this administration is, and they actually say they represent the U.S.? No they don't.

I have to laugh now, b/c I really disliked Bush, and couldn't believe he was re-elected for two terms, but there is a poster going around, where he is saying, "ya miss me yet". LOL, I thought no one could be worse then him...and I dread no matter who takes over for the next four years, neither one of them are competent.
Have you thought about the economy that The One will inherit if he wins in November. He has talked about the economic mess he inherited and now he would have to blame himself for 4 years just as he has blamed Bush all this time. I really don't think there are any leaners here who have thought about that yet.

Sure they did. They escorted him downtown for questioning.

GO Obama!!
How many of the warnings to Bush said anything about where, when or by whom. He seems to have been wrong because he did nothing not knowing where the attack would take place.

Now the Obama government was told that it would be in Libya at least 3 days before the attack came. Our intelligence people knew that the eventual site of the murders was the hottest spot of terrorist activity and that should have been easy to do something about. All of Libya is so much smaller that the US and that would have made it easier. If the ambassador had been told about an imminent attack he could have headed back to Tripoli. I don't think you have looked at any of these things very closely
