At the US Embassy in Egypt the Egyptian police stood by and did nothing ... the Egyptian government is thus just as guilty as the attackers themselves.

In Libya however the Libyan police at least made a halfhearted attempt to stop the attackers so I will give them credit for trying. Also, 2 US State Dept. Bureau of Diplomatic Security special agents* were killed along with Ambassador Stevens and a fourth US State Department employee.

* some sources state that 2 US Marines (the US Marines have an embassy security force) were killed but now the USMC said that is not the case so I presume they must have been US State Department DSS special agents.

The islam terror is like trying to pin jello on a wall, it cannot be contained to a specific country, that is the cloaking device of the movement to take over the world....the private musilm enjoys the conquering quietly to self thirsting for allah to favor the mighty sword.....physical fear and threat is the understood way of life for the islam religion guised in fancy talk about charity...when in rome

Soon my dear brothers and sisters the honorable true Godhead of peace and joy will send great and unimaginable destruction to sand nations of people who despise his children in other lands. The whole world will stand still and quiver as distant lands in the sand sink slowly, helplessly into the abyss of what all thou-est human fears most, the Holy and Divine rejection of themselves, a despising and scornful people. This punishment is to be, it is written and known within all that exists.

Is that the opening for "The Scorpion King Returns" ?

Mother earth can only, but swallow up a scornful found snake. It is written.... Once the sinking is satisfied, a period of peace through the nobility of true acceptance will arrise and humanity will once again, walk in lightness toward unity.

To put it mildly, they should be careful what they wish for.

This is a tragedy, but I can't help think about all the American idiots five years ago who said the mid eastern countries hate us because of George Bush and electing a new president would solve that problem.

Looks like the idiots were wrong. Again.

The only thing this horrible incident has proven: Get the hell out of there, and stay out.

And when, oh when, is our federal government going to realize, We are not liked over there -
we are Despised. Got it.


One reason why we cannot cut back on defense spending. We have created too many enemies and in spite of what people think, we are not the world power that we once were.
