U.S. ambassador to Libya, 3 other Americans killed in Benghazi
By Karen DeYoung and Michael Birnbaum
Updated: Wednesday, September 12, 11:30 PM

U.S. Ambassador to Libya John Christopher Stevens and three other American diplomats were killed Tuesday in an assault on the American consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, the White House said Wednesday.

Wire services and reporters on the ground said that Stevens and the others were fleeing the consulate when a rocket-propelled grenade struck their vehicle. Al-Jazeera’s correspondent in Benghazi said the bodies of the dead had been taken to the Benghazi airport.

Attacking an Embassy is an act of war.... this incident follows an attack on the US embassy in Cairo (Egypt)

I would hope there would be a strong response?

"The attacks — apparently prompted by outrage over an amateur, anti-Muslim film made in the United States"

Give me a break!!!!!

This is lunacy.....

...and after the attack in Egypt the US apologised? for offending Muslims?

Quote:
“the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement saying it condemned “efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.
“Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others,” it added.

Here is the clip supposedly inciting all this lunacy!!

Muhammad Movie Trailer



NOTE:
When I found this vid on youtube it had 22,877 hits (and that was some time after news broke world wide)

Now it has ten times that many 203,928 (and many more to come I imagine)

UPDATE
over a million hits now.

Libyan Security Forces Gave Islamists (al-qaeda AQIM) Ambassador Stevens As Trophy Kill
Posted on September 12, 2012 by sundancecracker

This is a highly coordinated, and intentional, attack against the West by the exact same “rebels” that Hillary Clinton and President Obama supported. Please remember the role of Samantha Powers, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton, in convincing President Obama to protect these EXACT murderers in 2011 during the siege of Benghazi.

Protesters angry over anti-Islam film storm US Embassy in Yemen
Published September 13, 2012
FoxNews.com

Image

SANAA, Yemen – Protesters angered by a film they consider blasphemous to Islam have stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, in the most recent attack on U.S. diplomatic posts in the Middle East.

The Associated Press reports the protesters reached the embassy's grounds but did not enter the building housing the offices. Once inside the embassy, the mob tore down the U.S. flag and burned it. Before storming the compound, the demonstrators removed the embassy's sign and set tires on fire.

It was similar to an attack on the U.S. Embassy in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Tuesday night. A mob of Libyans also attacked the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi on Tuesday, killing American Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Warning shots and tear gas were fired on Egyptian protesters who were clashing with police near the U.S. Embassy in the capital Cairo for the third day in a row.

The violence has raised worries that further protests could break out around the Muslim world as anger spreads over the movie.

It seems that the Video alleged to have inspired all this is just a made up excuse.... a mere pretext.

I have heard the video has been around since June... the youtube above is dated 2nd July... so has been up for over 2 months.

As I say..... it had only a few thousand hits prior to the Egyptian riots. ... now over a million.. the riots themselves have promoted the video.

And of course, the video is NOT a legitimate reason for all this anyway.

It appears Obama is planning a raid on Derza Libya. That is where the muslims attacked from. Of course the media is telegraphing it to the Muslims in Derza. What a Cluster Fluke. I wonder if Derza has an Aspirin or Baby Food factory?

Media telegraphing or a country giving 30-days notice for another country to get rid of WMDs that they now claim were never there. All in all helps another side. But I'm going off topic so I'm sorry.

BREAKING: Video Shows Body of Ambassador Chris Stevens Being Dragged From Safehouse…
Posted on September 16, 2012 by sundancecracker

In this video you can see the outcome of the gunfight at the safehouse in the Benghazi US Consulate. We will share again who we feel confident we can identify as specific suspects in this assassination.



A few things to note:

Watch closely the men going in and out of the window. Pay less attention to the ones talking/shouting, and more attention to the quiet ones.

Note the camera flashes, and the HD video camera you can see in the hand of the suspect with the white Polo shirt.

This was a well carried out, well planned, thoughtful assassination.

Yes.

But I think it is important to know this horrible stuff is going down.


I don't want to get into Party Political arguments....they get personal and neither side convinces the other.....but internationally I see some bad signs. Hate of the West seems unsolvable... certainly not by continuing to try and "buy" friends with aid money.
It looks to me that Israel bombing Iran is a matter of "when" now.... it will happen. And who knows what will ensue after that?

Fury at Sydney protests

September 16, 2012
Ilya Gridneff
Crime Reporter

Angry protests in Sydney triggered by film
Police gas Sydney protesters angered by a US film, Innocence of Muslims, portraying the prophet Muhammad as a womaniser and paedophile.


Image

Police have fought running battles across Sydney's CBD with violent protesters angered by an anti-Islamic film that has outraged the Muslim world.

NSW Police used batons, capsicum spray and the dog squad to quell the angry crowd, who carried signs such as ''Behead all those who insult the prophet'', ''Obama, we love Osama'' and ''Our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell''.

At the height of the five-hour protest, riot squad officers chased Islamic extremists out of Hyde Park to Stanley Street, near the Australian Museum, where The Sun-Herald heard police shouting ''hit them'' as dozens of people shouted abuse and threw bottles.

Boldly Into The Breach
Posted on September 21, 2012 by sundancecracker

Will the real life story of incredible bravery, and the extreme courage of warriors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods be lost just because of Machiavellian politics ?

Image

President Obama implied, quite intentionally, in his Weekly Address that Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were part of Ambassador Christopher Steven’s security detail:

“Glen and Tyrone had each served America as Navy SEALs for many years, before continuing their service providing security for our diplomats in Libya. They died as they lived their lives — defending their fellow Americans, and advancing the values that all of us hold dear.

-President Obama (Weekly address)

Sounds good, the only problem is this statement is a total fabrication. Yes, they were both former Navy Seals, but neither Tyrone nor Glen were part of the Ambassadors official security detail.

No. The truth is: they heard the attack, they heard the gunfire, and despite the danger to themselves they rushed into the breach taking weapons from the frightened Libyan security officials to help protect the American Consulate, Ambassador Stevens and his embassy aide Sean Smith.

Both Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were under no obligation to assist, protect or defend Stevens. They could have bugged out, they didn’t….. They ran into the breach. It was, and is, an important enough distinction such that two U.S. officials quickly wanted to tell the truth. They told the Guardian:

[...] they feared the Obama administration’s scant description of the episode left a misimpression that the two ex-Navy SEALs might have been responsible for the ambassador’s personal safety or become separated from him.

“Woods and Doherty weren’t part of the detail, nor were they personally responsible for the ambassador’s security, but they stepped into the breach when the attacks occurred and their actions saved others lives — and they shouldn’t be lumped in with the security detail,” …..

According to what scant actual information is available the former seal team members, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, appear to have been in Libya because they were contracted by another intelligence office, probably the CIA, to track down the missing surface-to-air missiles from the initial rebel uprising.

During the Gadaffi overthrow massive stockpiles of Libyan weapons including MANPADS and other surface to air missiles were looted from the military storage facilities. Estimates put the number of missing missiles around 20,000.

It appears Doherty and Woods were in Libya to track down those weapons. As a consequence of their visit they were crashed at an annex to the US consulate grounds using it as a safe place to meet, coordinate, and evaluate their ongoing intel. Their location was approximately a half mile from the main consulate compound area.

Image

They were inside an annex building when the main consulate complex came under attack from the Libyan al-Qaeda terrorists. They heard the distant shots and responded to a call for help from the compound itself. Both Woods and Doherty evaluated the assassination attempt, and immediately took up arms to defend Ambassador Stevens.

Their heroism is incredible when you consider what they were facing. Doherty and Woods reached the main compound of the Consulate and evacuated approximately 20 employees. Unfortunately, Ambassador Steven’s aide Sean Smith was already dead when they arrived. Woods and Doherty fought through the firefight, and took the consulate employees back to the annex building where again they came under another wave of attacks.

Between the initial firefight at the Main Consulate, and at the annex building, for over two hours they were able to fight back against approximately 200 al-Qaeda terrorists, who pre-planned and coordinated the attack to occur in two stages.

The second wave of attacks at the annex brought even more firepower upon them. Yet they held their position providing time for the 20 consulate employees to be rescued. In total for over two hours they held off upwards of 200 attackers, under heavy fire from RPGs, mortars, and at least one 23mm Anti Aircraft gun firing on their position(s) around the consulate grounds and the annex building.

This story must be told. The heroism of Doherty and Woods MUST surface. They deserve it. Unfortunately, because the truth represents a risk to the manipulated narrative of the White House and State Department, it will be up to outsiders to keep the pressure on and force the truth to the surface.

If we leave it up to the Administration and the State Department we will probably never know the TRUTH and the heroism of Woods and Doherty will not be fully recognized or appreciated.

These guys died while defending US interests because they were brave patriots who put country ahead of self.

We will not let their courage be hidden or diminished. I promise to do all I can to keep their story in the spotlight and provide their family the full measure of appreciation for their bravery.

They deserve it.

We will not forget, and will keep fighting for the recognition they deserve.

Personal Request Regarding Benghazi-Gate….
Posted on October 4, 2012 by sundancecracker

  • First, please share the story as we know it, and I promise you if we find out more we will update. Share it anywhere and in any manner you can. You do not need to credit us with the writing, use it however best works to advance the truth. I know many people will not link into a conservative website, so feel free to cut, paste, excerpt, reference, or do anything to keep the Truth of their heroism pushing forward. Help poke their story along.

  • Second, please contact your state Senator and ask them to recognize the heroic action of both Ty and Glenn.

  • Third, if you notice anything about this story, the entire story, anywhere, please drop a link back to here or e-mail the refuge so we can collect as much information as possible. If you see something written about it, please share back in any comment thread.

  • Fourth, I really feel like these two men are worthy of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I would like to advance a calling to see if we can put together a movement to get this done. I am clueless to how to go about it, but wide open to any suggestions. Right now I think the best thing we can do is continue to advance their story.

It saddens me to think that their heroic action could be lost amid the obfuscations and political back covering that are surrounding the events. They deserve better. In a moment of great consequence, they stood up – They charged into the breach - and they, along with their family, deserve heroic recognition.

Thanks.
