  • And what would you like see done? I'd like to see an effort to find out who did this and kill them. I want Munich. That's what I suspect is about to happen. That's what the president just said he's going to do, and he's kind of known for sending in Seal teams and dropping lots of bombs from drones, so I don't worry so much about his nerve.

    What would you like to see happen?

    As for Steve and his RNC talking point, this is real underhanded bullshit during a political season. And it's being called out by people left and right. It makes Romney look like what he is: a slimy political opportunist. I just like to think I'm dealing with people who don't fall for it all hook line and sinker, even the stuff that you couldn't defend if you tried.

  • David Frum:

    "Politicians must pander, it goes with the job. But they mustn't leave their fingerprints all over their pandering. The Romney campaign's attempt to score political points on the killing of American diplomats was a dismal business in every respect. Disregarding every other aspect, however, it was graceless and stupid as a matter of politics.

    The incident reminds of one other thing: the dangerously distorting effect of disrespect for one's political opponents.

    Inside Team Romney, and among Romney's donors and core supporters, it may be taken absolutely for granted that Barack Obama is a weak-willed appeaser of radical Islam, a cringing apologizer for America who does not love the country the way "we" do. So why not say it loud, especially when you think you've just caught his administration doing it again? And then you discover the mistake only after the statement has departed the outbox."

  • Michael Tomasky:

    "Once again, the Romney pattern holds: pander to the right, issue an irresponsible statement, before Romney and his people even know whether this violence is going to spread, and prove that they will try to use even the violent deaths of four diplomats to political advantage. This isn't an aberration. We've seen enough to know that this is his character."

  • Exactly, on my way home, I heard the two clips - Obama condemning, then kind of sort backing off.

    the old smoke and mirrors. Obamao is a disgrace to our country.

    I wonder when Shep will come back, and admit that his super Obamao

    never brought us together, but rather, the opposite...

    and never cut our deficit in half, but on the way to the opposite,

    and of course, he supports the 2nd Amendment, but never has,

    and has anti gun people all over his entire admin, and swore an oath to

    defend our Constitution, but has little regard for it, and has openly violated it,

    and, how Obamao was "SUPPOSED" to have a magic twanger, and make

    our U.S. really, really, really more respected in the world, COUGH COUGH....

    then again, I'm sure Shep doesn't have the nads to come back and admit ObaMao

    is not the great pres Shep said he'd be. Very much... the exact opposite.

    Meanwhile, why is it again, that we are giving Egypt a BILLION bucks?

    Sounds like two wrongs don't make a right.

    Where? What the fuck are you talking about?

    Quote where Obama "sympathizes" with the people who killed our ambassador.

    You hack.

    Mark this down.

    I stand corrected.

    I must have misunderstood the discussion this morning.

  • "They were just trying to score a cheap news cycle hit based on the embassy statement and now it’s just completely blown up," said a very senior Republican foreign policy hand, who called the statement an "utter disaster" and a "Lehman moment" — a parallel to the moment when John McCain, amid the 2008 financial crisis, failed to come across as a steady leader... "I guess we see now that it is because they’re incompetent at talking effectively about foreign policy," said the Republican. "This is just unbelievable — when they decide to play on it they completely bungle it."

    ...This is what I was thinking. I think this is going to be a turning point in the campaign, when people just see his pathetic opportunism for what it is. He's conducted himself like a very small man.

    It's going to get worse. Clearly, they're already worried about the polls and are going to start throwing the low blows. Oh, it's going to get much worse.

  • Obama condemns attack on US consulate in Libya - Yahoo! News

    3 hours ago ... News: President Barack Obama is condemning in the "strongest possible terms" ... records

    of all then make a "rational" decision, if that is at all possible. ... he started his press conference by apologizing

    for the tasteless video.

    U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement

    September 11, 2012

    The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals

    to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.

    Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States,

    Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response

    to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy.

    We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.

    People stand around a drawing that says “Remember your black day 11 September”

    during a protest against what they said was a film being produced in the United States

    that was insulting to the Prophet Mohammad, in front of the U.S. embassy in Cairo September 11, 2012. (Reuters)

    **************************

    Meanwhile, Obamao declared war on the religious churches and colleges in the U.S,, by trying to force them to violate their

    religious beliefs over Obamao's election year intrusion into insurance for employees.

    Got it.

    More opposite from ObaMao, the Great Oppositer.

    Heck. Steve. Who gives a fuck about your petty squabbles on this right now. No matter who said what something needs to be done. Will Obama do it?

    What do you think needs to be done? What do you think Obama needs to do? Use more drone strikes on Libyans?

    @vaportrail said:

    I don't know but we need to make a harsh statement. Try this again and this is what happens. Fuck Libya.

    But wasn't this perpetrated by a really big mob?

    Kill the whole mob. Brutally. Release the video on al jazeera.

  • Right now I'm sure the CIA is working with the State Department and other agencies to use embassy video and local intelligence to figure out who was organizing that attack. And then we'll find them and kill them.

    Would that suffice?

  • Better than apologizing to the stupid ass sick terrorists who committed the crimes.

    Seriously, "We are sorry we did something that you don't want us to do" "

    as in

    "the devil made you do it, so we understand your violence and sick murder of our Embassador.." ???

    Not good. Really bad.

    Obamao is losing completely, control of Mideast policy, out of anti-Israeli, pro-Muslim bigotry.

    And, I don't think Obamao ever took history in college.... or he stupidly forgot

    anything he ever did learn.

  • "the devil made you do it, so we understand your violence and sick murder of our Embassador.." ???

    Actually, they probably will tell you that God motivated them to do it. Just take a second to consider that the "god" that they're praying to and seeking intercession from is the same exact one that you do.

  • I'm asking Cysko, not you, Cal. I don't give a shit what you think.

    No because their lives mean nothing to them or us. We should execute their entire government from top to bottom. Make a statement. Whoever replaces them could not possibly be worse or more incompetent.
