So the entire movie about muslims excuse doesnt seem to be the reason why the killings happened. it sounds like there are/were legit people upset at the film, but some cowards took that opportunity to execute their attack and kill stevens and others.

Sad overall regardless of the inside story of it all.


Wait, why would they target Stevens? What issue did they have with him?


i dont know. i havent seen info on that. maybe they were out to kill anybody at the embassy.

if stevens was the target, that opens up a whole new can of worms.

im not going to play the guessing game here since this thread was clearly started to isolate it from the politics of the situation. i was just reporting what ive heard and that the stupid movie wasnt the reason why he got killed.

Stop it, PP - you and your idiot candidate are doing a disservice to the dead here, not to mention US national security with this inane blather about "take action. Chris Stevens was very literally the best and brightest, a smart, decent, thoughtful, articulate representative of the US government. His death should be mourned without indulging in a pathetic opportunity to try to score political points.

Wow, that didn't take long. Way to policize an RIP thread. Typical.


Well, that was the bait you set, right? Romney behaved typically and should be completely ashamed of himself. He owes the family and the nation an apology.


Who are you talking to? I didn't set any "bait."
Romney spoke because he's running for the highest office in the land and needs to point out that he is not a puss like the sitting president is. We need someone who will take action, not "work with the Libyan government" on this.

The whole attack on the consulate was ridiculous. I hope that Libya follows the rule of law and punishes the murders. I am not holding my breath in view of the how the rest of the region acts. The former opposition owe it to Chris Stevens.

Sickening, pointless loss. My prayers are with his family.
