I was surprised that CNN went as far as they did to report this part of the story. Surprised me.

Report from Libyan officials that the benghazi consulate was warned 3 days before attack that extremist insurgencies were on the rise in the area . Anderson Cooper is shaking his head, although rightly warning that this could be Libyan officials covering their bootys .

They have said preliminary reports said that amid the evacuation, Stevens and foreign service officer Sean Smith were inside the consulate with a regional security officer. They got separated in the smoke. The security officer and others went back in to try to find the two of them and found Smith dead. They pulled him out but flames and gunfire forced them to flee before they could find Stevens.

Al-Bakoush and his colleagues said that once they learned his identity, they were stunned Stevens had been alone.

"I've never seen incompetence and negligence like this, from the two sides, the Americans and the Libyans," he said. "You can sacrifice everyone but rescue the ambassador. He is the ambassador for God's sake."

Thanks Beiruty. I had read some partial, related facts, but not the whole story like this. I remember when the pictures first came out of Stevens' body being carried, everyone assumed they were parading around his corpse. And then the facts came out, like you have quoted, that in reality these civilians were trying to save him. It makes me wonder if they were part of the protest group? That would be ironic. And it would also prove that the assault on the consulate was done by another group. Regardless, it is refreshing to know that in the midst of all the chaos in Libya, there are many good men like the ones mentioned in that article.

Here is the evil, stupid financier, the fraud man, who claims to be Christian, the enemy of God and his Prophets and Messenger. The one who used a porno-movie director to make the film. The least IRS can do is audit from where the 5 millions came from and if he ever paid a single cent as a tax on those 5 millions.

Another Article about the Arab Spring Revolution:
I quote:
The Arab uprisings are not over yet. They are still unfolding and shaping the future. This culture of shouting and killing those with whom Muslims disagree must end. When the Prophet Mohammed's companions shouted "Allahu Akbar," (meaning "God is Greatest," a popular slogan for those yelling outside embassies today) the prophet reprimanded them saying "Our Lord is not deaf."

Bergen: Extremists and leaders incite violent protests

When a Bedouin Arab entered the most sacred mosque of the prophet in Medina and violated its sanctity by urinating in this place of divinity, the prophet cleansed the mosque himself and forbade anybody from even reprimanding the Bedouin, let alone attacking the man. This is the way of the Prophet Mohammed. Where is this spirit of mildness, forgiveness and compassion amid Islamist activists today?

Yet another senseless death.
At least this one was an instigator.

I really don't see the point of this nonsense over the film maker. Terrible horrible things are said about every religious figure in history. It really should get a shrug off. By rioting the Islamic people of those countries have given legitimacy to this mans claim. "I say you are bad bad bad, your leader was a murderous scoundrel" (I am paraphrasing the message of the movie) Response "WE HATE YOU, and we are going to KILL you the first chance we get." Yep that will show him!

I say let the marines and security fight their way out, and let the diplomats talk their way out of foreign trouble.

Egypt issued an arrest warrant for the film maker :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester:
you are kidding right? but i wouldn't put it past Janet/holder to release him to Egyptian authorities as part of our apology tour :rules:

he is an american now....but

free speech guarantees him to make such a film, I haven't seen it, nor do i desire to and so i cant comment on its despicability (new word) as of this time.

attacking one on basis of religion or using it as a guise is cowardly imo. just come and say you despise or (insert words), not hide behind a veil or mask and then wage your attack.

The film maker allegedly said they're violent and intolerant. If that's true, their reaction proves him right.

It's not "shrugged off", even though it should be, because it is part of their doctrine. Here is an article discussing an Iranian convert's perspective and why he fears for his life.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/09/18/ir ... es_in_fear

An Iranian man recently granted asylum in the U.S. after converting from Islam to Christianity told FoxNews.com he still fears the long arm of the rogue regime in Tehran.

The man, whose name is being withheld, said he fears hardline Muslims could come after him, even in the U.S. The regime in Tehran has recently vowed to "hunt down" the makers of an anti-Islam film trailer and has upped the price on novelist Salman Rushdie's head for offending the religion. Because apostasy - renouncing Islam - is punishable by death, the man told FoxNews.com he lives in fear.


"If I want to go to a Christian church in Iran the secret police will recognize and arrest me since they will check my background and know that I was a Muslim."

- Iranian Christian convert who recently won asylum


"I feel if I reveal that I converted to Christianity, the Muslims here may retaliate against me," the man, who is in his early thirties, said in an exclusive interview. "In many verses in the Koran, Muslims are told to kill, behead, cut fingers, or severely arrest and tie the kafirs," or nonbelievers.

Iran..... Now you are starting to get at the true source of the Egyptian attack. The movie was just smoke and mirrors for well coordinated and planned attacks in several countries. All supposedly happening spontaneously or coincidentally on the anniversary of 09/11??? Yeah right.... It was more than an angry mob in Benghazi. Angry mobs don’t come trained and equipped with well-aimed RPG’s and mortar fire!

Who in the Middle East stands to lose the most if, albeit slowly, Islamic states move in the direction of democracy? Some are not happy that the seeds of democracy have produced the likes of the Muslim Brothers, free choice sometimes produces undesirable results and that’s the beautiful thing about democracy. Those in power typically don’t take to leaving unless by their own will and timing. And trying to convince us that our Ambassador and servicemen were killed by a flash mob that happened to be adept at walking in mortar rounds is just insulting.

Fox news is reporting that intelligence sources are now saying that the Bengazi attack was a planned terrorist attack led by a GITMO prisoner released to Libya on condition that Libya would keep him in prison
