So the ROE in Tunisia even after the Libyan debacle is still bean bags? How did they breach the compound?
Hillary, resign.

And what is barry up to this morning?
Spider commented:
Man, these guys sure didn’t like that movie!
Wouldn’t a simple thumbs down, or a few rotten tomatoes have sufficed?
RKflorida commented:
Why weren’t they shot off the wall before they got in? They are invading US territory, there should be no question as to what we do.

I agree with GR…………… “any time this happens we should cancel all visas from the offending country, and have at least a 90-day moratorium on new ones. Plus instant aid suspension.”
Yes. Also, send home all their people. Immediately. No question. Just do it.
Please Jim, someone has to do something about fighting the movie meme this WH & Hillary are blaming. It is the BIGGEST LIE that they and the Scoopers have EVER tried to fly since they turned the LIES about Bush into fact.
Terry Phillips commented:
They need to quit using rubber bullets and bean bags. Live ammo will get their attention. Force is the only thing these animals understand!
Adirondack Patriot commented:
I certainly hope Romney waits before commenting about this because, as we have seen from the Incompetent Obama, remaining silent and waiting around is soooooooo presidential.

Don’t hold your breath Mr. Reynolds…Our Fearless Leader has more important things to do..like attend mega fundraisers with George Clooney…and more fund raisers…and, oh, there’s George Clooney! Michelle honey, he knows I’ve god cred! He likes me! He LIKES ME!”
l.barney commented:
the line is “he knows I’ve got cred!” But since our Dictator THINKS he’s a god, maybe the mistake should be left in!
owl commented:
I wish that every site would run something like the Drudge flashing siren or Ace’s burning skull at the same time and keep it up a couple of days.
Very little can cut through the Scooper wall. They unite and drum it day after day.
An empty chair.
The movie had NOTHING to do with any of it. Hillary Clinton and Obama are counting on the Scoopers to make this into FACT.
Please someone figure out how to change their lie. I think the flashing symbols would be the most effective. ?? Every hour they promote it, buries it as fact. Hillary is betting on it.

It’s 2012. The concept of an “Embasy”has been around for 2000 years. If they don’t understand the concept, they need to be put down.

Imam Obama, Clintons, the DNC and GOP appeasers have this blood on their hands. PC is destroying our nation and they are applauding it’s demise…

Anyone stating that he/she is Osama should be shot on admission of being a terrorist.
