Yes, really. I might not have been very clear in my post…the media’s and general public’s sentiment is very negative, nearly hostile towards U.S.A. I can assure you the majority here have more sympathy for “poor discriminated Muslims” than for “fat, gun loving Americans”.
Posting a picture of a graveyard / tribute to fallen U.S. soldiers (and others) hardly refutes what I said. This has been made quite some time ago in a completely different political climate.
It’d be interesting if in turn this Pakistani minister had a bounty placed on his head precisely for offering one on the filmmaker’s.[/quote]
It would a whole lot more interesting it the President of the United States issued a statement saying that since it’s his duty to uphold the constitution he will not tolerate foreigners making death threats against Americans exercising their first amendment rights. Then put the Pakistani MP on a terrorist watch list and have the Attorney General issue an arrest warrant.

hahahahaha. I laugh because the first sentence is very much called for, and you have a better shot at Obama being caught sleeping with a Kardashian than issuing such a statement.
Lead story? Front page news? We’ll see…Might be, potentially, too much heat over this to minimize.
?Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador?s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012,? House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and subcommittee chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, wrote Clinton today. They dismissed out-of-hand the suggestion that the attack ever could have been regarded as a spontaneous protest gone awry.
?In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi,? Issa and Chaffetz added (my emphasis). ?The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.?
The committee noted 13 ?security threats? in Benghazi, including an attempt to assassinate the British ambassador to Libya.
Yep, this story is too hot. It’s now blistering. The administration KNEW this was a pre-planned terror attack, despite their talking points the first couple days. So, why? Hoping to save face during the election cycle? Bungling security after repeated requests?
CNN hits hard on Libya: The only conclusion is that the White House tried to cover something up
This story is wide open now. There’s no ignoring it, or even minimizing it. It’s this administration’s Watergate with a body count.
Between this, the Fast and Furious story blowing up even more (see Univision’s very recent report), and the Media Matters+DoJ collusion…Folks, this shouldn’t be a close election. Romney has my vote. This administration has no business occupying the White House. Instead of deception and stonewalling, they had a duty to come clean on their screw ups. Maybe you could make the argument that the screw-ups could be forgiven (I have no idea how), but the ass covering has gone way beyond corrupt. Shameful.
