From Reuters:
(Reuters) – The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three embassy staff were killed in an attack on the Benghazi consulate and a safe house refuge, stormed by Islamist gunmen blaming America for a film they said insulted the Prophet Mohammad.
HOWEVER, from the New York Post:
TRIPOLI, Libya — US officials are increasingly suspicious that the murder Tuesday of the US ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other American officials was not the result of a protest against an anti-Islam film, but instead was a coordinated terror strike timed for the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
It is a political axiom that you respond to words with words, and you respond to actions with actions.
Mr Obama’s response?
President Obama strongly condemned the attacks, while also calling on embassies across the globe to increase security.
“Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers,” Obama said. “They exemplified America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.”
As I’ve said before, here is what Mr Obama does:
– He is concerned; and
– He is monitoring
I hope Mr Stevens’s family has excellent insurance, because he was sacrificed by the Obama Administration and the State Department in the game that Mr Obama foists on the global playing field. You can rest assured that Mr Obama will only “monitor” with “concern.”
