Libya security cut while Vienna embassy receives

Since retaking control in 2010, House Republicans have aggressively cut spending at the State Department in general and embassy security in particular. Chaffetz and Issa and their colleagues voted to pay for far less security than the State Department requested in 2011 and again this year. I need to get the phrase "Republican Hypocrisy" in my text expander. ...

The Russian response to Barack Obama’s announcement that he was expelling 35 diplomats over the alleged cyber attack on the US election, was fast, and in some cases, rather amusing. As officials in Moscow said that US diplomats would be ordered to leave in a tit-for-tat response, the Russian Embassy used Twitter to make its point with little panache. “President Obama expels 35 🇷iplomats in Cold War deja vu. Everybody, including the American people, will be glad to see the last of th ...

This was a hot topic two months ago and was then kind of forgotten about - just curious what everyone thinks now that the 60 days have gone by, plus the fact that NATO has said they believe ground troups will be necessary. Congress just took this action today - do you think anything will come of it? Personally, I'm with Kucinich - we need to get the he11 out of there, fast! http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/3/bipartisan-congress-rebuffs-obama-libya-mi ...

The United States is now deep into a seemingly endless, aimless war in Libya, through NATO and in its own right. The rebels against the government of Moammar Gadhafi, based for the most part in eastern Libya, are deeply divided and largely unable to take advantage of the NATO military support they are receiving. Western military advisers are also on the ground. They find the rebels undisciplined and disorganized in their efforts to advance militarily to take towns that Mr. Gadhafi's forces ...

Is Democracy Viable? By Thomas Sowell Those who see hope in the Middle East uprisings seem to assume that they will lead in the direction of freedom or democracy. There is already talk about the "liberation" of Egypt, even though the biggest change there has been that a one-man dictatorship has been replaced by a military dictatorship that has suspended the constitution. Perhaps the military dictatorship will be temporary, as its leaders say, but we have heard that song before. What ...

We have one ally in that crazy place and he disses him, meanwhile saying he supports Israel. What a frigging liar he is. He has really helped our foreign policy too, hasn't he? Maybe he better go over there and bow. ...

PARIS, March 19 (UPI) -- President Nicolas Sarkozy said Saturday French warplanes have begun enforcing the Libya no-fly zone, and military jets began airstrikes, military sources said. The French defense minister said a French fighter fired at a Libyan military vehicle hours after Western and Arab League leaders met in Paris, the BBC reported. "Our air force will oppose any aggression on the population of Benghazi," said French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris. "Right now our planes are blo ...

The facts: On September 12, the day after the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Obama said in comments in the Rose Garden that he had learned about the attack on the consulate the night before. "Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe," he said. "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, ...

It's not confirmed but this is what they're saying. The US is only "nervous" about this? Isn't this a reason for war? After all, embassies around the world are the property of the country that "lives" there. They have attacked the USA. It's a slap in the face that Egypt and Libya did this, especially Libya after the help they were given in their uprising. ...

Is this staged or for real? Only time will tell. At least four people were killed and dozens of others were injured when militiamen opened fire as they defended one of the bases. Looters carried weapons out of the vacated Ansar al-Sharia military base compound, which has been linked to the attack on the US consulate last week. The US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans died in the attack. Ansar al-Sharia has denied any involvement. The action against the group appeared to be part ...

Libyan state television showed footage from an unidentified hospital of what it called victims of the "colonial enemy." Ten bodies were wrapped up in white and blue bed sheets, and several people were wounded, one of them badly, the television said. Western intervention, after weeks of diplomatic wrangling, was welcomed with a mix of apprehension and relief in Benghazi, where the main hospital was filled with men, women and children wounded in Saturday's assault on the city by Gaddafi' ...

Benghazi, screws to turn for Obama 2012-10-10 11:09 Simon Williamson New York - I mentioned before that President Barack Obama could face huge flak for his administration's response to the attack on a US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which killed the US Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three others. A quick reminder: Susan Rice, the USA's ambassador to the United Nations said numerous times on television that the attack was a spill over from a protest against ...

Isn't that wonderful that they're letting EVERYONE in the world, including the terrorists who did this, know that they may strike back a whole month later!!!!! Where's the surprise?

Bob Beckel states the CIA is the only group who may know they're planning these attacks. WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has put special operations strike forces on stan ...
