Libya: U.S. staffer dies in attack on consulate

About a dozen protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Egypt Tuesday and replaced the American flag with a black Islamist flag to protest a film they say attacks Islam's prophet, Muhammad.

Hours later, armed men in eastern Libya stormed the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and set it on fire, said Wanis al-Sharef, an interior ministry official.

A Libyan security official told the Associated Press that one American was shot dead and another was wounded in the attack.

Witnesses said the attack in Libya left much of the consulate burned, and U.S. officials told the AP that no Americans were reported harmed in the assaults.

The attack in Cairo came after as many as 2,000 protesters marched on the U.S. Embassy near Tahrir Square, where Egyptians last year protested to force longtime president Hosni Mubarak from power.

" Their ambassador must leave," the crowd chanted. It appeared the crowd was angry at a film produced in the USA that has been reported on by Egyptian media. Morris Sadek, an Egyptian-born Christian in the USA known for anti-Islam views, told the AP he was promoting the video on his website and TV stations.

Our Apology:

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. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

Two of our embassy have been attacked, one known dead. And we apologized when our soil was attacked and not protected by the host country as promised.

Netanyahu wants to meet with Obama but he says he is too busy!!!

WTF???? Do we have a leader in this country or not?
 
He is campaigning! The only thing he does well...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, our embassy people are in jeopardy and other embassies are probably worried without any direction from the White House. Then Iran is smiling all the way down to the uranium rich labs plotting away while Israel gets no face time with the MIA President.
 
You guys need to give him a break. He'll have no chance of talking Ahmadinejad out of nuking Israel over tea, if he loses the election. First things first --- he has to make sure the daily polls come out how he wants them!
