http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/white-house-declines-netanyahu-request-to-meet-with-obama.premium-1.464328 ....Asked whether the president is ready to meet Netanyahu in Washington, [White House National Security Council Spokesman Tommy] Vietor said: "I don’t have a final schedule for the president for that whole week." I sense Netanyahu played this hand intentionally! |

It's pretty clear to me that Obama can't be president and run for president at the same time. God help the country if anyone gives him gum to chew while campaigning. |

Obama Regime Throws Itself Under The Bus, Disavows Apology For Mohammed Film… The gang that couldn’t shoot straight. Wait, can I call them a “gang” or is that racist? Via Politico: The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States. “The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior administration official told POLITICO. The U.S. embassy in Cairo put out a statement early Tuesday that apologized for an anti-Muslim film being circulated by an Israeli-American real estate developer. “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,” the embassy said in a statement published online. According to the Wall Street Journal, the film depicts the Muslim prophet Muhammed as a “womanizer, pedophile and fraud” — depiction bound to offend many Muslims. The embassy came under widespread criticism for failing to defend free speech in the face of threats of violence. Egyptian protesters rioted anyway, breaching the embassy walls and tearing down the American flag. http://weaselzippers.us/2012/09/11/obama-regime-throws-itself-under-the-bus-disavows-apology-for-mohammed-film/ |

CNN Alert Angry protesters attacked U.S. diplomatic compounds in Libya and Egypt on Tuesday, citing in both instances an online film considered offensive to Islam. The Libyan government notified the United States that an employee at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was killed, a State Department official told CNN. The State Department does not have independent confirmation of the death. Egyptian groups point to U.S. websites, including YouTube, that have scenes from the film. Some anti-Muslim blogs also have flagged the movie. It was not clear late Tuesday who produced the film and under what auspices. Just a coincidence it happened on 911 Must not hurt Obama's campaign chances Edited by Baldo, Sep 11 2012, 10:40 PM.

I have grown weary of being outraged by the failures, both foreign and domestic, of this administration. It just makes me sad. Praying this nightmare be ended in November. |

"It was not clear late Tuesday who produced the film and under what auspices." http://apnews.myway.com//article/20120912/DA17TT5G1.html This article might clear up who produced the film: "... The crowd chanted, "Islamic, Islamic. The right of our prophet will not die." Some shouted, "We are all Osama," referring to al-Qaida leader bin Laden. Young men, some in masks, sprayed graffiti on the walls. Some grumbled that Islamist President Mohammed Morsi had not spoken out about the movie. A group of women in black veils and robes that left only their eyes exposed chanted, "Worshippers of the Cross, leave the Prophet Muhammad alone." (AP) Egyptian protesters chant anti U.S. slogans in front of the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday,... Full Image By midnight, the crowd had dwindled. The U.S. Embassy said on its Twitter account that there will be no visa services on Wednesday because of the protests. A senior Egyptian security official at the embassy area said authorities allowed the protest because it was "peaceful." When they started climbing the walls, he said he called for more troops, denying that the protesters stormed the embassy. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. The Cairo embassy is in a diplomatic area in Garden City, where the British and Italian embassies are located, only a few blocks away from Tahrir Square, the center of last year's uprising that led to the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. The U.S. Embassy is built like a fortress, with a wall several meters (yards) high. But security has been scaled back in recent months, with several roadblocks leading to the facility removed after legal court cases by residents. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry promised in a statement to provide the necessary security for diplomatic missions and embassies and warned that "such incidents will negatively impact the image of stability in Egypt, which will have consequences on the life of its citizens." One protester, Hossam Ahmed, said he was among those who entered the embassy compound and replaced the American flag with the black one. He said the group has now removed the black flag from the pole and laid it instead on a ladder on top of the wall. (AP) Egyptian protesters climb the walls of the U.S. embassy with Arabic graffiti that reads "any one... Full Image "This is a very simple reaction to harming our prophet," said another, bearded young protester, Abdel-Hamid Ibrahim. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Egyptian police had removed the demonstrators who entered the embassy grounds. Speaking before reports of the slain American emerged, she condemned the attack on the consulate in Libya "in the strongest terms." Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad in any fashion, much less in an insulting way. The 2005 publication of 12 caricatures of the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper triggered riots in many Muslim countries. A 14-minute trailer of the movie that sparked the protests, posted on the website YouTube in an original English version and another dubbed into Egyptian Arabic, depicts Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a madman in an overtly ridiculing way, showing him having sex and calling for massacres. A YouTube spokesman said the website would not take down the video at this point. The spokesman said the website's policy is to remove videos that include a threat of violence, but not those only expressing opinions. (AP) Egyptian protesters wearing Guy Fawkes masks pose for a photo graffiti on a wall of the U.S.... Full Image "We take great care when we enforce our policies and try to allow as much content as possible while ensuring that our Community Guidelines are followed," the YouTube representative said. "Flagged content that does not violate our Guidelines will remain on the site." Sam Bacile, an American citizen who said he produced, directed and wrote the two-hour film, said he had not anticipated such a furious reaction. "I feel sorry for the embassy. I am mad," Bacile said. Speaking from a telephone with a California number, Bacilesaid he is Jewish and familiar with the region. Bacile said the film was produced in English and he doesn't know who dubbed it in Arabic. The full film has not been shown yet, he said, and he said he has declined distribution offers for now. "My plan is to make a series of 200 hours" about the same subject, he said. (AP) Egyptian protesters climb the walls of the U.S. embassy while others chant anti U.S. slogans during... Full Image Morris Sadek, an Egyptian-born Christian in the U.S. known for his anti-Islam views, told The Associated Press from Washington that he was promoting the video on his website and on certain TV stations, which he did not identify...." ****************************** Sam Bacile, who is Jewish, produced the film. Morris Sadek, Egyptian born Christian, is promoting the film. Reading further in the article, Coptic Christians are disassociating themselves from the film. IMO, this film is an obvious attempt to instigate, antagonize, and provoke. Not sure why. Edited by foxglove, Sep 12 2012, 04:30 PM.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/romney-criticizes-obama-response-middle-east-violence-031234603--election.html Romney criticizes Obama’s response to Middle East violence Mitt Romney sharply criticized President Barack Obama's response to attacks on the United States Embassy in Egypt and the U.S. Consulate in Libya, accusing him of sympathizing with those who carried out the attacks. "I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in a statement issued to reporters late Tuesday. "It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks." Romney was referring to a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that apologized for an obscure anti-Muslim film being distributed by an Israeli-American real estate developer that prompted the protests Tuesday. An unnamed Obama administration official later disavowed that apology to Politico's Byron Tau, saying it "does not reflect the views of the U.S. government." |

We seem to have U.S. diplomatic compounds invaded in both Libya and Egypt, along with the killings. Barry, our "brilliant one", knew what the Libyan Madman was going to do before he did it, so we blasted many to protect the foreign civilians. What about protecting our civilians? |

http://weaselzippers.us/2012/09/11/hillary-clinton-condemns-mohammed-movie/ Hillary Clinton Condemns Mohammed Movie… StateDept ✔ @StateDept #SecClinton: The U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. state.gov WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has confirmed that a State Department officer was killed Tuesday in Libya during an attack on the U.S. consulate. Clinton said in a statement Tuesday night that she condemned the attack in the strongest terms and has called the Libyan president to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. She says that some are trying to justify — quote — “this vicious behavior” as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. She says the U.S. deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. If Clinton is now condemning the movie, then why did the Obama administration disavow this condemnation from the U.S. embassy in Egypt? ![]() ========================================== Just wondering why hillary does not send the same message when muslims and radial islamists kill all the Christians? Just asking.... |

No response yet by Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi. MSNBC apologists are bending over backwards trying to explain this situation away. |
