God we can't switch energy sources fast enough.
yeah bring them troops home and stop policing around the world so there'll be less people mad enough at us to become terrorists is that what you mean sir? i kinda agree with you on this one but i don't think washington and the terrorists will tbh

I responded that assumedly, Clinton and the Dept of State were shoring up defenses at other embassies and dealing with the fact that they had just been attacked. She then said she hopes so, but never knows what the SOS is doing. I said that I see stories on what she is doing/press conferences with her every few days. She then says that hillary is never on fox news (this tells me a lot, but my goal isn't to talk trash about the station right now).
My question is: Does FN not cover the SOS? I don't watch the station to confirm or refute this, so does anyone else know?
B_D, I don't care about your opinion.
Yes, Hillary is covered extensively on Fox NEWS. As I have said many times before Fox NEWS (Shepard Smith) Is an excellent newscast (IMHO the best out there) and is extremely fair and balanced. Fox OPINION (Hannity etc.) is not.

Thank you for the answer. What time of day is fox news on fox news?
(I just want to let her know)

The last time a US Ambassador was murdered was under the Carter Administration, another weak pacifist President.
Coincidence? I think not.

Re: Mob storms U.S. Embassy in Cairo and sets fire to consulate in Libya
"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."
Fail

You actually think Obama is a "weak pacifist President"? What planet do you live on?
And that's not even addressing the ludicrous idea that not wanting to bomb every country that sneezes in our direction is somehow "weak," tbh....

Re: Mob storms U.S. Embassy in Cairo and sets fire to consulate in Libya
That's terrible. Don't know about the security at these places. Obviously not enough.

This was a sub argument with some of this person's friends on the same FB thread. I don't think he is all that doveish. He widened the use of military force (drone strikes) to kill AQ leadership which set a brand new precedent for the use of such force, he breached the sovereignty of a country with which we aren't at war to kill OBL, got involved in the military aspect of the Libyan civil war, and sent more troops to Afghanistan.
I am not sure what else he could do to make himself any more hawkish?

A buddy of mine runs security (or part of anyway) for the US Embassy in Cairo. I imagine he is a touch busy right now, but according to him, that place is locked the fuck down, and in instances like today, they have fall back plans that gets everyone the hell out of there real quick like.
I would have thought Libya would be no different, but it looks like it is.
I also think, and maybe I'm being a giant pussy here, but I don't find it necessary to post pictures on this site of this cat's body being dragged around by a bunch of people that are better off dead.

Thank you for this. I agree
I was just trying to ignore it because I figured if I responded it would only embolden him to post more.

There's no defense for this.

Actually I probably should have use "apologist" instead of "pacifist".
I stand corrected.

I don't know what Romney would do but this shit probably doesn't help Obama much less than 60 days before the election. Looks like Hillary is sticking it to him with the apologies.

Won't matter. Americans don't remember stuff beyond a week or two max.
