U.S. Ambassador killed in Libya

Drones better be being fueled up. Seal Team 6 best be in the air. Black Ops types through out the region best be at the ready. This cannot stand.

To be fair, there are many Libyans standing against the radical Islamists. That takes some gut's, especially over there right in the belly of the beast. Kudo's to them.

Quote from trefoil:

Egypt is another story, but over in Libya the Libyan security detail suffered ten dead and helped out the US folks inside.
Benghazi was a center of the revolution, and that revolution was, in the face of heavy Republican criticism, helped by the US. Demonstrations, large ones, showing appreciation for the dead American diplomats have been held, and in sharp contrast to the Egyptian gov't, the Libyan one has condemned the attack.

That'd be awesome, if true. And I am not saying it is not, but I could not find a reference to this in the MSM. Given the leftward lean of the MSM, that seems hard to fathom, although the whole muslim angle makes understanding the left hard (what with their general hatred of religion and support of women's rights, yet islam is at war with the Great Satan of Christianity) so I may have missed it. Linky linky please. And I really would like to see that we have at least some friends in that part of the world.

Yes, I am watching the news coverage and there seems to be many Libyans protesting the attack on the US embassy. I will also note that the Libyan security forces were also very involved in routing the attackers.

The US is sending drones and naval forces to hunt down the attackers and it appears that we have the support of the Libyan government.

All of the above is good news. However I wil still stand behind my earlier statement that a change in policy is needed in Middle East with the emphasis on "carrying a big stick" in the region.
 
What they need are the Islamic clerics coming out condemning the attacks. There can be good people but the clerics control the population.

But they do not condemn. I don't fully understand why, but some local talk show guys (Richard Spirez and Brad Krantz) frequently interviewed a local guy named Jabril Hough. He's a (more or less) local bigshot in the muslim political world. Anyway, Hough would say all sorts of stuff, but never ever say that the 9/11 perps were *bad*. Nor say anything bad about any other terrorist act that was asked about. He'd say they were misguided, were not following the prophet, etc., but never come straight out and say "Them's some bad dudes" even though he laid more vile aspersions upon christians.
