    The Deadly Rocket Attack in Libya and Romney's Crass Exploitation of National Tragedy

    Mitt Romney's presidential campaign attempted to capitalize on the events today, as Romney held a press conference denouncing the Obama administration's response to the attack. "This attack on American individuals and embassies is outrageous, it’s disgusting," said the GOP candidate. Romney then crassly exploited the attack, saying: "I also believe the administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt, instead of condemning their actions. It’s never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values."

    Romney's reference to "sympathy" is a distortion, but the comments reflect a conscious effort by the Romney campaign to hit Obama on foreign policy.

    Romney's claim that the Obama administration "sympathesizes" with the attackers is a reference to a US Embassy statement from Cairo expressing dismay at the anti-Muslim film. But the White House says that the statement "was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government."

    The comments from the Romney camp make sense, though, when placing them in the context of how Romney has run his presidential campaign. The claim made at the press conference that the administration "apologized" for US values is the latest attempt to hit at Obama for allegedly disavowing "American exceptionalism"--which he hasn't done.

    Romney's statements also reflect his neoconservative foreign policy advisors, many of them connected to the Iraq War, and who advocate for US military might around the world to shape the world as the US sees fit. It was also a nod to the anti-Muslim voters that make up the GOP base. Romney implied that Obama was "sympathesizing" with the Muslim attackers in Egypt--a not-so-subtle way of dog-whistling to those who believe Obama is Muslim himself.

    Kristol: ‘Sept. 11, 2012′ Is Great Time To Accuse Obama Of Sympathizing With Foreign Killers

    One can question the timing and tone of Mitt Romney’s statement last night. One can note he wasn’t as fluent and clear as he might have been at his press conference this morning. Still, the fact remains that the events of September 11, 2012, represent a big moment for the country. Romney is right to sense this, and to seize on this moment as an occasion to explain the difference between his foreign policy and President Obama’s. He’s right to reject the counsel of the mainstream media, which is to keep quiet and give President Obama a pass.

    From the past about Libya:
    Kadafi is definitely not a kind leader. however, the US and UN are now interfering with a sovereign nations rights to defend itself against enemies, foreign and domestic.

    I'll give 5:1 odd that if Kadafi is overthrown, we will have a worse government in the aftermath to deal with than under his leadership.
    Really now?

    Do you know what "Conservative Muslim" means? They will now be in power!
    Do you really believe the population as a whole wants this?

    Really...

    The people who did have a "high" HDI index, had the best standard of living of all African nations, and was completely self sufficient... until this war...

    Do you really believe that?

    I call it propaganda.
    Why do liberals like you believe in the authoritarian approach of imposing our values on other sovereign nations?

    "You will comply with our wishes, or we will fire 112 cruise missiles at you!"
    My recall has it that they called for stopping Gaddafi from killing the protesters. Remember the couple videos that showed these so-called protesters had weapons? I wonder, who fired the first shots?

    I'm sorry, I simply do not buy the UN reasoning. Looks like lies to me.

    I guess just because the UN says so, it must be gospel, huh?
    You are an idiot to mistake my acceptance of a sovereign nations rights for agreeing with them.

    These people know the law. They knew the penalties. Now you treat them as innocence?

    My God... Just how ignorant are you?

    Those who live within the laws of Libya, have a good life. Who are we to interfere with nations who re no threat to us?

    Again, since we attacked Libya, over trumped up reasons, when they rate as high as they do in the HDI, when are we going to attack the 100+ nations who are worse?
    Wow...

    A nation likely 10 times worse than Libya, and we aren't going to do anything about their human rights abuses?

    Oh wait...

    They aren't 100% self sufficient like Libya was. They actually need the UN!
    I see...

    The aggressor of war is favored.

    Again, what did Qaddafi do to deserve this?

    He shared the oil revenue with the people.

    He took one of the poorest world nations and made it one with a high HDI, and self sufficient.

    He treated criminals harsh, like nearly all other Arab nations do.

    Was that enough to overthrow him? Just because he killed rebels posing as civilians?
    Created what is known as the 8th wonder.

    I wouldn't call it a hole, you head.

    Libya's Ambassador to Washington Ali Aujali said Wednesday that associates of disposed tyrant Muammar al-Qaddafi were behind the Tuesday attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four American officials, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

    "We know that Qaddafi's associates are in Libya. Of course, they took this chance to infiltrate among the people," Aujali said in today in an interview. His claim contradicts most reports, which place the blame on radical Islamist groups that claimed to be reacting to an obscure American film they viewed as insulting to Islam.

    Aujali said that the Libyan government has intelligence that unspecified Qaddafi forces were involved.

    And you take his word at face value. A man in high places from a terrorist organization that gained Obama's help to overthrow Gaddafi?

    OK, If that's what you want to believe.

    stupid like a movie produced by a mormon for the agenda of a mormon?

    is that what you mean?
    I said this before, looks like I have to say it again.

    This Mormon producer was one of 6 producers on that film project.

    Look up what a producer does in the film industry as well, since you didn't believe me he first time.

    You continue to show your absolute stupidity when you repeat things along these lines.

    I get more information from a guy named "Homeland Security" then I do Yahoo.
    sad but true. his does crack me up.

    You're still one of the best trolls ever.
    i'm almost positive ES is behind the Sybok troll, which is my favorite troll on this site.


    as for that pic posted earlier, i kept thinking it looked like James Woods was killed. probably something wrong with my reactions to things. i probably wouldn't have looked at it if it was full of dismemberment. i feel most sorry for his loved ones, to see him paraded around by a bunch of monkeys. that region is ing gone.

    Who said anything about what I believe. What part of 'its all speculation' wsa difficult to understand. It's pretty obvious what you believe as your little masturbatory quotefest demonstrated.

    I thought that the Libyan ambassador stating that he had intelligence was newsworthy. I do not even know what the intelligence is so why would I 'believe' anything?

    Seriously stop thinking other people think like you do most especially me. It's pretty obvious that is not the case.

    It's because we have a percentage of the world population that is living in the 13th century.

    wow wow

    us ambassador killed. this is big. now we know what's going to be the election clinching topic. surprise surprise. good timing too

    IMO this is a failure by Obama govmt, they ed Lybia up, helped in the murder of Ghadaffi and then put an embassy there with no proper security. the security in that spot should have been higher than Iraq

    this could be a turning point
