In Washington that morning of Sept. 11, 2012, the air had been crisp and clear and so much like the crisp, clear morning of 11 years before that President Obama mentioned the similarities at a 9/11 memorial service outside the Pentagon. But much else had changed, he said. “Al Qaeda’s leadership has been devastated and Osama bin Laden will never threaten us again,” he told the small audience of employees, their dark glasses glistening in the bright sun. “No single event can ever destroy who we are,” Obama concluded. “No act of terrorism can ever change what we stand for.”
But over the course of the next 24 hours, as the black banner of jihad flew over the United States Embassy in Cairo, and as the American Consulate and the nearby outpost of the CIA in Benghazi came under ferocious attack, all the assumptions on which the administration had founded its counterterrorism policies were called into question.
Pretty good article detailing what happened over there.
Like somehow we can stop every nut from attacking us on forgien lands? We couldnt stop it here if we put cops and cameras on every street corner...Who worries about this shit? What kind of loser wants to lock down the entire world for security? Guys, youre all gonna die one day, don't spend you entire lives, and all my money worrieng about it
Its called an embassy. They have one here as well. We don't storm their embassy and kill their ambassador. The State department is responsible for the security of embassies and they failed in what looks to be an attempt to mask al Qaeda's resurgence in Libya. This is a big deal because of the political aspect, not so much the attack itself.

Duh..thats because We don't hate them, they hate us
The question you should ask is why?
Its called empire, we rape their lands of recources and murder their people...
You don't know whats going on in the world, and when something like this happens..you just want to kill, just like after 911- Why don't you ask "why do they hate us"?

I think you know me better than that but, maybe not. I don't know why they hate us, but I do know that they are trained to do so. You would have to ask those doing the training in the madrassas why. Do "we" rape their lands for the natural resources or large multinational corporations? Just curious who you think is in control.
