Now we must face the consequences of taking sides, despite Obama being warned numerous times beforehand that these groups were not seeking democracy. Obama was warned Al Qaeda was operating out of Libya and had allied themselves with the rebels.
All we did was replace a tyrant who at least controllable and an enemy of Al Qaeda, for many tyrants who are uncontrollable and our clearly out enemy.
Arab Spring has turned into an Arab Winter, the radicalization of the Middle East and Obama even gave these terrorists the weapons that are begin used against.
As long as Obama keeps promising Liberals more government handouts, Liberals will continue to lie for him regardless of the nightmare Obama creates abroad. Because Liberals with their infinitely small minds, see it has someone else's problem and a worthwhile trade off for entitlements.
And did you see where he didn't know if Egypt was an ally or not? "Well, it could be, but then it might not be ......"
And this is what's going out to the mid-east. No wonder they're emboldened.
Obama and his administration's response has been horrific.

I'm sorry . . . I can't trust them. I am a Catholic. I don't hate anybody . . . It's just that I am NOT a stupid person.
Romney was 100% correct - he condemned what should be condemned and decisively stood up for this nation and our rights -
I am far less concerned about Romney and the timing of his statements than I am for an adjunct embassy with no security, a clearly planned attack, a weak president with no policy other than saying sorry you are offended, the foray into Libya without reason, and a president who deemed a Vegas fund raiser more important than following through on the crisis still going on in the Middle Eas
The only thing that's emboldened Islamics is the stupid video put out there by America's own supposedly Christian extremist, Terrorist Jones.
What the Muslim extremists are doing is wrong...(and again, this can't be emphasized enough, especially to the stupid conservatives here on SH: only extremists took part in this; most Muslims are not like that); what they should be doing is what the stupid conservatives in this country are doing, but with Bibles...burn them!
Tit for tat...
And, Romney's stupid remarks aren't helping...but you conservatives chose him, so now you'll have to live with him, at least until November 7, when he's lost the election.
Your "anyone but Obama" candidate is losing, proving that not just "anyone" can win...
Sources tracking militant Islamist groups in eastern Libya say a pro-al Qaeda group is responsible for a previous armed assault on the Benghazi consulate is the chief suspect. U.S. officials also said they believe the attack was not prompted by the film, but was planned beforehand. A London think tank with strong ties to Libya speculated Wednesday that Stevens was the victim of a targeted al Qaeda revenge attack.
The assault “came to avenge the death of Abu Yaya al-Libi, al Qaeda’s second in command ". I believe the US President, Pentagon, and State Dept are proceeding quickly but carefully so as not to enflame even more nut jobs. Speaking of nut jobs, I also believe Mitt Romney needs to keep his ignorant mouth shut. Capitalizing on four deaths to make a political point is beyond shameful.
Is that source good enough for you?
"The Obama administration is disavowing a statement from its own Cairo embassy that seemed to apologize for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.
"The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government," an administration official told POLITICO.
The U.S. embassy in Cairo put out a statement early Tuesday that was pegged to anger over an anti-Muslim film being circulated by an Israeli-American real estate developer.
"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," the embassy said in a statement published online"
The Obama admin is disavowing the so called apology made by the Cairo Embassy.... BFD.
"The Obama administration is disavowing a statement from the Cairo embassy that SEEMED to apologize for anti-Muslim activity in the United States."
The President does not monitor Cairo Embassy tweets.
Good Lord, SODA is hitting a new low with some of these posts.
"the embassy said in a statement published online" "
Did you at least get this far into the article? Where's the tweet?
And you know what? What would it have mattered if the apology HAD been done through a tweet? A tweet, or a text, or a phone call, or through a darn bullhorn. It was the first thing this administration put out there, and that's the only thing these protestors are going to remember.
The apology they lifted from a freaking TWEET?
