Re: And in Libya today
Well, that sucks. But it happened. Now the Libyan government owes us big, and I say use this opportunity to draw the Libyan government into our sphere. They are not in any position to say no to us now.

Not sure I agree with you on that, although the idea would be nice. Foreign governments have a million and one ways to say no to us, and the government may not be very stable.Fat Cat wrote:Well, that sucks. But it happened.

RIP to some unappreciated bureaucrats. No one deserves that.
Politically, Fats may be correct but I can't help thinking we could afford to some satellite time, and a few CIA "analysts". I fell "the way forward" should be right through a wet of smear of dead protesters.

Is it weird to anyone else that an American ambassador was murdered in a foreign country and the US government is just kind of like "that sucks, you guys shouldn't do bad stuff like that"

This is obviously a plot by big Pharma to increase involvement in Lybia to sell more vaccines and prescription narcs.

Signs of this attack was planned and linked to Al Qaeda:

The attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other American diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, may have been planned and organized in advance, U.S. government officials said on Wednesday.
The officials said that there were indications that members of a militant faction calling itself Ansar al Sharia - which translates as Supporters of Islamic Law - may have been involved in organizing the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya's second-largest city.

It will be interesting to learn if Libyan security forces did Jack Shit. Or were writing parking tickets on the far side of town.
