Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke this morning on the violence in Egypt and Libya, which led to the deaths of four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," Clinton said. "America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear. There is no justification for this. None."
The Secretary of State also stressed that the U.S. efforts in Libya will continue, blaming the violence on a "small and savage" group. "Everywhere Chris and his team went in Libya, in a country scarred by war and tyranny, they were hailed as friends and partners," Clinton said of Stevens. "And when the attack came yesterday, Libyans stood and fought to defend our post. Some were wounded. Libyans carried Chris's body to the hospital and they helped rescue and lead other Americans to safety."
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), not exactly an ally of the administration, praised Clinton's remarks as "excellent and moving," adding that she struck "just the right message and tone." He had no similar praise for the presidential nominee of his party.

Oooooooh, I hope that TRMS pillars Willard tonight over McCains statement; that is really interesting to see John throw Willard under the bus......
There is no reason to PRAISE the GOP nominee; using a horrible incident like this to politicize (and highlight his lack of ) foreign affairs knowledge is inexcusable! Mitt- go to your room!
Mrs. Clinton is a statesperson, a diplomat and a patriot. She brings clarity (Libyans risking their lives to save the diplomatic staff) to a difficult situation. Pouring gasoline on a fire, Mitt, does not ameliorate tension. Of course if you want war, Mitt, your diatribe is clear.
We anxiously await the comments from Secretary of State In Waiting, John (got milk?) Bolton.
The picture of Hillary is reason enough to be thankful it was Obama and ot her in the 2008 election... No wonder Bill is on the campaign trail...
Has Romney perhaps done himself in over this?
I agree with Senator McCain that Secretary Clinton's remarks were exactly on point. I also agree with everything he said about Governor Romney this morning.
Perhaps this will sway the election in Romneys favor
That's what Sam Bacile and his buddy Sheldon Adelson want you to think. It's why they did this.
I hope our CIA, FBI Etc. also suspect, as do I, that the wonderful Baptist minister's
film hit the U Tube on 9/11, just as Romney's numbers are tumbling. This was just too convenient along with the Netenyahu attacks - is this a perfect storm.
Lives were lost, but desperation for power knows no bounds.
Let's not take our eyes off the folks who provoked all this with that film. Why did they do it???
according to the ap the israeli filmmaker said
"This is a political movie. The U.S. lost a lot of money and a lot of people in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're fighting with ideas."
Sam Bacile, a California real estate developer, told the AP he believes the movie will help his native land by exposing Islam's flaws to the world.

Who really cares about some film? There area lot of films out there that are @!$%#ty. And, the Libya situation looks more complicated:
But Middle East analysts raised questions Wednesday about the motivation for the Benghazi attack, noting that it involved the use of a rocket-propelled grenade and followed an al-Qaeda call to avenge the death of a senior Libyan member of the terrorist network.

This is entirely a plot by far-right Jewish Nazi Sheldon Adelson, who is giving $100 million to the Right, and Likud agent Sam Bacile, who has done stunts like this before.
These guys most likely financed that "film" that started all this - how does some yahoo so-called "pastor" in Florida with a congregation of 8 have the money to make anything more than a 2 minute video on a cellphone?
Follow the money he was given to do this and it will lead straight to the people who said "9/11 is good for Israel". This has all the hallmarks of a standard Israeli disinformation operation. Get all of us riled up so we go fight Iran for them. It's what they do.
Here's an interesting headline and sub-head from Haaretz (an Israeli online newspaper) that was quickly buried.
***Israeli filmmaker in hiding after anti-Islam movie sparks deadly Libya, Egypt protests
-Film by Sam Bacile, who self-identifies as an Israeli Jew, led to protests at the U.S. consulate in Libya and the U.S. Embassy in Cairo; one American staffer killed in clashes.***

So yea, there's a definite trail leading back to Zionist interests. And it was just a day or so after Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu was refused a meeting with Obama, and less than a week after another headline described Netanyahu as quote "losing his temper" with an American diplomat over the Iran issue.
This is an example of what happens when Zionist Jews don't get their way. And it's probably not over. It's going to continue to ratchet up until the day of the election. The question is how many more innocent people will die in some twisted Zionist plan to influence our election.
Here's one more interesting bit, -in case you were unaware of the long relationship between PM Bibi Netanyahu's family and the republican party:
***The Netanyahus’ reliance on Republicans and Mormons goes back a very long way.
-Historian Rafael Medoff’s account of the role played by Benzion Netanyahu at the 1944 Republican National Convention raises intriguing questions about the latter-day lessons drawn by his son.***

Hillary Clinton is a statesman. Mitt Romney does not have a grain of what it takes to be POTUS.
It's difficult for me to tolerate incomeptence. That's all I see out of Romney. Secretary Clinton has handled this as it should be handled. She is a true statesperson through and through.
Appalling display and actions by the zealots in Egypt and Libya in the name of religion; however, Romney is so out of touch with foreign affairs, he is a disaster!
Hilary here delivers a speech that for me is presidential in import and reach. We are your friends in mourning your countrymen for this unspeakable violence.
