So, the State Department, through the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, repeatedly rejected requests for more security at the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans are murdered, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. How could the Obama administration possibly cover it's sorry behind? How about... blame it on a film. A horribly made, D-grade film.

Yes. This will suffice. Because angry Libyan Muslims would never attack a US embassy in their country. And of course the date had nothing to do with it.

Well the film excuse won't hold up anymore. It's rubbish. It's a lie. A lie created for convienience. A lie used to cover up the failings of the President to do his job in protecting Americans home and abroad. This was a well planned and performed attack on an embassy. An attack to celebrate the attacks on America of 11 years prior. Attacks that many fanatics celebrated as if their team had won the superbowl. Of course fanatics are going to commemorate an attack on the one nation in the world they have so much hatred for.

Obama's rush to apologise for the fanatics and murderers by blaming a film (thereby excusing the perpertrators) for the murder of American citizens, is a betrayal of the people and nation he swore to serve. He has let America down, and as a result, compromised the safety of all embassies in the region.
