It would be real interesting to know what Embassy guards were doing while these people were taking down the flag. Obviously they were inside the compound. Looks like now the U.S. Embassy will be seen as easy pickin's.
Fire up the drones, boys.

Shoot every dumb motherf**ker who climbs over their wall.

They would be doing us a favor.

UPDATED: Mob sets fire to US consulate in Benghazi: witness - International - World - Ahram Online

Quote:
An armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam, attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi on Tuesday and set fire to the building, witnesses reported.

The attack happened on the same day as a similar group of hardliners waving black banners attacked the US embassy in Cairo and tore down the US flag, but it was not immediately clear if the two incidents were coordinated.

The protests came on the eleventh anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, when US cities were targeted by hijacked planes.

"Demonstrators attacked the US consulate in Benghazi. They fired shots in the air before entering the building," Libya's deputy interior minister, Wanis al-Sharif Sharif, who is in charge of the country's eastern region, told AFP.

"Dozens of demonstrators attacked the consulate and set fire to it," said a Benghazi resident, who only gave his name as Omar, adding that he had seen the flames and heard shots in the vicinity.
What film are they talking about??

It's the natural consequence of Obama's Middle East apology tour and his general fecklessness.

Non-white? What do they put on their census info then? Brown? Tahini? Babaganoush?


hint: look at where the caucasus mountains are in relation to the middle east.

A statement from the US Emabasy in Cairo

"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. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. 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"

High-faluttin' words. I'm inspired by them in a very French sort of way.
