Egypt and Libya embassy attacks

First they overrun the walls in Cairo,  trash our flag and hoist their own (with impunity),  and now this?  One " American staff member"  (which sounds suspiciously like a MSG) killed, several wounded.

I thought that repelling the enemy assault by fire and close combat was how we handled this? 

Pissed to be reading this sort of thing on 9/11.  Not really much to discuss,  I'm just surprised we're rolling over and taking it on this one,  especially in friggin' Libya.

We should invade both places.

[Hutch]

We should invade both places.

Or withdraw from both places.  To hell with them.

Evacuate staff. Fill embassy with explosives. Detonate. Repeat as necessary. Apply budgeted foreign aid to defense and/or fortified border wall. Let 3rd world sheepshaggers vent their rage on one another.

The only ROE we need for those situations is to have the nearest missle cruiser/sub launch a half-dozen cruise missles targeting the embassy to "reclaim" the grounds....

Sick puppy! I like the way you think! DETCORD x infinity.....

I bet the Marines there were not allowed to shoot a single member of that mob.

You gentlemen are forgetting, Obama Term 1 is actually Jimmy Carter's 2nd term.

And we all know how Jimmy handled embassy invasions.

I can guarantee it. In Beirut they weren't even allowed to be Condition 1, I bet the same is true here. Pathetic.

Jimmy failed in the desert, and Obama did get OBL. He deserves credit for that.

No, Obama was just the guy sitting in the Oval Office when OBL was taken out.  The folks Inteligence who tracked OBL's movements for years and the boots on the ground that invaded OBL's compound deserve the credit for taking OBL out.

Obama and his buddies sat in a comfy office and watched the events on a big screen TV.

I concur with leaving the screaming beards of the Middle East (and other places) to wallow in their superstitions and willful ignorance.

"We'll leave you alone if you leave us alone.  Continue to make pests of yourselves against the rest of world and there will be no other option but to expunge the infestation that is you from the planet."

I might be willing to give Obama some credit for that if he and his fellow Democrats weren't doing their best to play up his role in it for the election.  The history channel was advertising some show about it playing quotes from administration officials acting like they were key parts of the mission rather than just watching.

And also, I am concerned they will retaliate against the retired Seal who is putting out that book.

Whistleblowers do tend to get the shaft as a matter of Federal policy.

[longeyes]

OBL is a couple of pages in the history of the Caliphate.

The Plan is on schedule.

[RoadKingLarry]

Evacuate the embassy and consulate and carpet home a 5 block radius around each back to the stone age.


Oh wait, it's already still in the stone age, nevermind.

I wouldn't really define him as a whistle blower, but just about the same response.  Hopefully, that will change up February next year.

Obama deserves credit for getting OBL to exactly the same degree that Richard Nixon deserves credit for Neil Armstrong's footsteps on the Moon.

[RoadKingLarry]

Radio reports this morning are that our ambassador to LYbia and 2 staffers have been killed and their naked bodies dragged through the streets of Bengahzi.

Can Obama apologize to Islam fast enough?

ETA-FOX reporting ambassador and 3 staffers.

Best. Analogy. Ever.

Amending my prior ROE....make at least one missle a nuke....

Gee, glad we "led from behind" on that one.   Didn't the roman empire kill 10 for every one citizen harmed?

[agricola]

No, that was 1 out of every 10 of their own soldiers who ran off.  

If you rebelled against Rome, if they were in the mind to give a salutary lesson they would kill everything - men, women, children, cats, dogs, plants, "the mood", farm animals etc.  If they were in a more forgiving frame of mind they would just kill all the men who looked like they were of fighting age and enslave the rest.

Just invading the embassy is an act of war.

There needs to be a special level of response for killing an American ambassador.

For example, the immediate and permanent removal of your city from the world and a demand for the immediate and unconditional surrender of your country.

[slingshot]

Another black mark for our esteemed President.  BO deserves the credit for only giving the order to take out OBL.  Even Carter would have done that if for no other reason than how he would be remembered in history.  Evenything comes out eventually.

[RoadKingLarry]

No, that was 1 out of every 10 soldiers who ran off.  

Hence the term decimate from Latin more or less to remove 1/10th.


I predict Hillary will "most strongly condemn" the violent acts of a few rogue protesters and Obama will condemn the production of any media that might remotely be construed as possibly critical of Islam or "The Prophet".
