No laughing matter. If it weren't obvious this was a planned assault, it is now. This is going to be very bad for some people.

Tamater: Romney's statement condemning Obama's response to this attack due any minute now.

He retroactively made it yesterday, smirk and all.

It's time to put on your Big Girl Panties and stop acting like a bunch of children.

Yes, but who planned it?

Not SATAN!!!, that's for sure.

On a serious note, it makes a bit of sense, especially with the anniversary of 9/11 and the recent FRMing of their head guy in Yemen. It's a bit fast for al Qaeda, but then, I wouldn't put it past them taking the opportunity.

RU4C: Subby here. I thought about including a joke, but knowing the Embassy staff over there is fighting for their lives, just didn't think it was appropriate.

Well said. Class on Fark is hard to find.

Maybe it's time for a round of "Cowboys & Muslims".

Bigotry against the west runs deep.

Hell, bigotry runs deep everywhere.

Even in the US we have problems with it.

duckfarkit: Sweet baby Jesus. The reverb from the Arab Spring. I so want Obama to handle this well; otherwise this is ammo for the rtards & a recipe for disaster

Problem is, no matter how the President handles it, it's ammo for the Tea Party/Republicans/Neocons. Pathetic that such things are politicized so freaking badly, and that there are some people who are cheering for the deaths of Americans just to make "the other side" look bad.

Do you realize the irony in your post?

So, I haven't FTFA yet but is this more Libya or more Cairo?

quantum_jellyroll: Maybe it's time for a round of "Cowboys & Muslims".

Or maybe, "Regan and Russians". Just substitute 'Muslims' for 'Russians'. I really, really hope Obama steps up and kicks some ass.

I think it would be more ironic if we were all made of iron.

/yes, yes I do.

While the "outrage" is most likely an excuse to vent anger at the US, they producers of the film were callously negligent. Free Speech is a right, but with every right comes a responsibility. They knew there would be violence at the release of the film and yet they released it anyway. Unfortunately, its not their loved ones who are dying, but innocent people caught up in an unnecessary firestorm.

Hey, someone get on the horn to Obama and let him know we may want to beef up security around our middle eastern embassies ASAP.

duckfarkit: Also, aaaargh! Oh shiat! What the farking fark! So pissed off about this shiat.

Couldn't have said it better.

//calm is what we need right now.

Cpl.D: I thought they equipped all US embassies with that active denial system



You know what looks worse in the media than your embassy gettin' a little B&E? Unleashing automatic weapons on unarmed civilians. Hell, we're still learning about a handful of musket balls launched more than 200 years ago at a couple early Bostonians who you probably would have shot too.

As bad as riots get, active denial systems aren't for mere flag burning and trespass. That's why they keep the weapons in the secure areas, which weren't raided.

common sense is an oxymoron: In other news, the maker of the film that started it all has gone into hiding, his spokesman was chosen because he leads anti-Islamic protests at mosques and schools, and the cast claims that much of the dialogue was dubbed in without their knowledge or consent.

Also...

"We went into this knowing this was probably going to happen"

link raises more questions than it answers. what a tangled web they weave.

Why does the Islamic world seem to susceptible to trolling? Can we turn that to our advantage?

Totally agree with this, but don't go putting the fault there. The fault lies with the animals who react this way over a movie, not the movie maker himself. It's the rapist, not the low cut dress that commits the bad act.

The film was purposely made to antagonize. Demonstrating how I raped your lover in front of you is bound to elicit a negative reaction right? Its not my fault you got angry and assaulted me, right?
