Embassy Attacks
- Thread starter Babagounj
- Start date
I'm not sure if we should continue this conversation if you're going to make up things. I never said I wouldn't support new democracies, and I never said we should increase our military presence in any country we have diplomats. You made that up.
In a hostile country with a new government, YES, I would make sure our diplomats were protected with more of our own Marines. AND I would make sure my people had adequate buildings and/or security BEFORE I continued to give money to that government.
Do you not agree that the Secretary of State has responsibility for protecting our diplomats abroad? Do you not agree she hasn't done her job?
This conversation contains unsubstantiated rumors about sodomy and now is when you think the conversation should end because people are making things up? I've seen very little that is completely backed by facts.

The host countries are crooked where the violence is happenig.
Even our own guy is Islam sympathetic.
If you want to be safe, you have to take care of yourselves & fellow Americans.
I called him out because he lied about something I didn't say.
Ahh, but is that the whole answer? I think not. Look it up on the Dept of State website under Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

[FONT=Lucida Grande, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]And once again, You're going to trust a month old government to protect your people? Kind of naive, don't you think?[/FONT]
We will agree to disagree. Libya is not a hostile country.
How many troops would you dispatch to foreign missions on a permanent basis? More personnel are being dispatched right this moment in response to heightened security.
The ambassador and his staff did not feel they were in a dangerous situation until fighting broke out. There was no demonstration, just an intense, surprise attack. Sean Smith was online with friends when the attack started. Everything was normal before the attack.
As far as security, read this:
What Makes Embassies Secure? | PBS NewsHour
If I remember correctly, Mr. Smith didn't think he would survive the day. How do you call that normal???
My statement was a logical conclusion to the statements you made. I didn't say you said that, notice the question mark after my statement? That means I was asking a question of you, not attributing a statement to you.
He said that after trouble had started.

In today's society someone who attempts to marry a girl at age 6 and have sex with her at age 9 is considered a pedophile. This so called "prophet" mohommad did just that so by definition he was a pedophile. Why do you find the truth so disgusting?
Actions speak louder than words. I could give two hoots about what muslims think of my comments because their actions are screaming about the savagery imbedded deep in their culture. If the truth is now considered hate speech so be it.
As far as the people in the picture it just goes to show that there are decent human beings in all corners of the earth, and for once they are getting a little press. Given the events of today with more flag burnings, protests, and attacks on embassies its apparent that those people are in the minority when it comes to Islam. Face it, Islam is the religion of violence, and they are making my case everyday.
Thier getting a little press?? Why not on FOX NEWS? Why not on RUSH Limbaughs program or Sean Hannity?
There is violence in many countries, but you are talking about uneducated men, mostly unemployed in third world nations. They are not animals, they just dont know better. We have 200 years of civilized society allbeit the GOP wants to return to uncivilized discourse, but we understand the rights of everyone having an opinion.
Islamic radicalism is a problem, but so is right wing christianity. Bush started two wars under the watchful eye of GOD and over 250 civilians lost their lives. You dont think the world thinks christians are nuts?
It cuts both ways.
In any event, this movie is exactly the kind of crap that needs to be censored, the BUSH administration agrees with me and so does GW BUSH himself.
The creation, promoting and spreading of this movies trailer had one intention and one intention only, spark violence. Mission accomplished.
Maybe you should be calling for the arrest of this person who calls himself Sam Bacile who is a fraud?

Carney: Protests Not Directed Against the United States
"this is not a response to the administration, to the American people," but a response "to a film."
Why did they kill our US personnel and take down and burn our US flag?
Obama and his spokesman display that they think we are stupid.
The U.S. ambassador was killed along with others, that American flagged were burned, and that we have
seen three days of rioting by radical Muslims shouting "death to America" -- but none of this is a response
to, or directed at, America.

Protesters set fire to the American School in the Tunisian capital on Friday, after hundreds of people incensed
by a U.S.-made film that demeans Prophet Mohammad invaded the U.S. embassy compound and clashed with riot
police, a Reuters reporter said.
The school was closed on Friday. Protesters had earlier set fire to trees in the U.S. embassy compound.
“(U.S. President Barack) Obama, Obama, we are all Osamas,” the protesters chanted, in reference to the
slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
But remember according to the current Adminstration spokesman Carney:
"this is not a response to the administration, to the American people," but a response "to a film."

My take was slightly different from yours (imagine that). I saw it as the body was barely cold, the dirt had yet to settle on the grave and you chose to politicize his death.
BTW, don't ever DUH me, bro.
