Unfortunately we have a bunch of Generals that were appointed to their post, by Obama, none seem to have the balls to confront Obama, and resign. I can't believe that we have a Commandant of the Marine Corps, without the fortitude to defend his own Marines, this is a sorry state of affairs.

Jimmy Carter Corrects Obama

Former President Jimmy Carter spoke to students at Drake University in Des Moines today and was asked if he agreed with what Obama said about Egypt:

Carter: "Egypt is an ally of the US, we know Egypt well."

President Obama had earlier stated during an interview, "You know, I don’t think that we would consider them an ally, but we do not consider them an enemy."

Carter went on to talk about Egypt's new President, Mohamed Morsi, saying that he knew him well and that they had met. He added that Morsi was dedicated to peace and a democratic government.


...ally ...non-enemy

It is rather confusing! Our "ally" had their Arab Spring and now they're not our "ally," even though Barry wanted that to happen.

Now Jimmy is certain they're our "ally" and tells us about the sound intentions of his good friend leading that nation

...the one who is looking to be BFF with Iran now!

Just watched John McCain on Hannity, my question is when will he become a democrat? He sounded like he supports Obama and his foreign policy. IMO, had we elected him in 2008, we would be in the same shape today as we are now. The man needs to retire from the senate.

Mursi had requested the mission take "all legal measures", the MENA agency said, without giving further details on what that might involve.

Protesters who demonstrated outside the U.S. embassy in Cairo on Tuesday had demanded action by the president.

The film is almost certainly a hoax, though. I should really say the trailer for the film is likely a hoax.

yeah, right. And what standing does Egypt have in the courts of the US? And where does "free speech" stand? And what about those nations around the world that blaspheme Jesus Christ?

Gimme a break !!!!

If the US entertains this thought for two minutes, we are crazy !!!

I was listening to CNN and one liberal pundit was trying to make the case that the movie was "Hate" speech.

Three dead as protesters attack U.S. embassy in Tunisia
Reuters – 40 mins ago

TUNIS (Reuters) - At least three people died and 28 others were wounded on Friday after police fought hundreds of protesters who ransacked the U.S. embassy in Tunisia in their fury over a U.S.-made film insulting the Prophet Mohammad, state television said.

A Reuters reporter saw police open fire to try to quell the assault, in which protesters forced their way past riot police into the embassy.

The protesters smashed windows, hurled petrol bombs and stones at police from inside the embassy, or started fires in the embassy and the compound. A black plume of smoke rose from the facility.

One protester was seen throwing a computer out of a window, while others walked away with telephones and computers.

A Tunisian security officer near the compound said the embassy had not been staffed on Friday, and calls to the embassy went unanswered. A Reuters reporter saw two armed U.S. soldiers on the rooftop.

The protesters, many of whom were Islamic Salafists, also set fire to the nearby American School, which was closed at the time, and took away laptops and tablet computers.

The protests began after Friday prayers and followed a rallying call on Facebook by Islamist activists that was quickly endorsed by the local faction of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia.

Libyan officials suspect the Libyan branch of Ansar al-Sharia of being behind an attack in Benghazi in which four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, were killed on Tuesday.

Amid uneasy calm in Cairo, prime minister says some were paid to protest

Egypt's prime minister said some of the thousands involved in days of protests near the U.S. Embassy got paid to participate, state news reported Saturday, the same day riot police managed to force demonstrators from the area.

Prime Minister Hesham Kandil said "a number" of those involved in the tense, sometimes violent protests, which began Tuesday, later confessed to getting paid to participate, according to the state-run Middle East News Agency. He noted, too, that some of the demonstrators were acting on their own and weren't paid to vent their anger against the United States over an inflammatory anti-Islam film that was privately produced in that country....




That's from a CNN article headlining on Drudge! :)

Maybe the riots in Egypt were a 9/11 set up to distract Americans from the bad economy and to everyones surprise al-Qaeda also had a surprise, but in Libya. Big backfire that the state department knew nothing about or ignored?

ETA. I dont think anyone could convince me that the US did not know about that movie. It was made months ago, like in February.

Even if they did know about the movie, they would have needed to anticipate it was a convenient tool that would be used in the celebration of the ELEVENTH anniversary of the nine ELEVEN tragedy in countries we handed to those which would rule with Islamic law.

Intel agencies warned U.S. Embassy in Egypt of possible violence

(Reuters) - A U.S. intelligence cable warned the American Embassy in Cairo of possible violence in response to Arabic-language broadcasts of clips from an anti-Muslim film, U.S. government sources said on Monday.

The cable, dispatched from Washington on September 10, the day before protests erupted, advised the embassy the broadcasts could provoke violence. It did not direct specific measures to upgrade security, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

However, under standard diplomatic procedures, Egyptian government officials and security forces were notified of U.S. concerns, since host governments are responsible for ensuring the security of foreign diplomatic missions on their soil, the sources said.

Copies of the cable were not sent to other U.S. outposts in the region, including the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where violence took the life of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. The ties between the Benghazi violence and the crude anti-Muslim film are still unclear.

The sources said the cable, which is still classified, was sparked by the broadcast on Saturday, September 8 by al-Nas, an Egyptian satellite TV network, of what its presenters described as extracts from an English-language film denigrating the Prophet Mohammad...snipped
