""Obama, we are all Osama," they chanted referring to Al-Qaeda's former leader Osama bin Laden." 9/13/12, "Kuwaitis stage anti-US demo, wave Qaeda flag," AFP
10/2/12, "The Navy SEALS President Obama dispatched to kill Osama bin Laden could be sent to avenge the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya: report," NY Daily News, Straw, Siemaszko
"Top secret Joint Special Operations Command is preparing “target packages” on the jihadists behind the deadly attack on the Sept. 11 anniversary."
"The Navy SEALS that President Obama dispatched to kill Osama bin Laden may have a new target — the terrorists who killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
The top secret Joint Special Operations Command is preparing “target packages” on the jihadists behind the deadly attacks on Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on the Sept. 11 anniversary.
And siccing the SEALS on the killers is just one of the options that Obama has for dealing with them, the New York Times reported.
That revelation came as GOP lawmakers, trying to tarnish Obama’s foreign policy record ahead of the presidential election, claimed that U.S. diplomats had made repeated requests for more security before the attack."...
- Ed. note: To the NY Daily News, it's a matter of public record that there were security concerns in Libya. It's also known that Obama has lied and asked others to lie about the cause of the assassinations and riots for weeks. Why would questions about this matter be political? Why isn't the NY Daily News trying to find these things out themselves?
In their letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the GOP duo claimed there had been earlier bomb attacks on the consulate in Benghazi.
The first in April involved a small bomb thrown into the compound by a pair of fired security guards, they wrote. In the second incident, “assailants” on June 6 set off a bomb at the consulate’s north gate that blew a hole in the perimeter “big enough for forty men to go through,” they claimed."...
- Ed. note: To the NY Daily News: "They claimed?" The Washington Post "claimed" the same about the June 6 bombing. Aren't NY Daily News reporters even slightly curious about world events? Or are they just waiting on jobs in the next Obama administration?
Stevens stopped running in the morning after that, but only for a week.
Among the 13 incidents Issa and Chaffetz related in the letter are two that targeted members of the International Red Cross.
The group left the area in June, leaving Old Glory “the last western flag flying in Benghazi, making it an ideal target for terrorists,” the Republicans wrote.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland declined to comment
on the letter, but she pledged the agency’s full cooperation when they go next Wednesday before a Congressional committee that is looking into security lapses in Libya."

"White House! Black Flag is coming soon!!!" Islamists taunt Obama.
9/17/12, "The dangerous U.S. double standard on Islamic extremism," Justin Gengler, Mideast.ForeignPolicy.com
"That the Obama administration would fail to acknowledge the flag's overt symbolism is indicative of an uncomfortable yet enduring truth about U.S. policy in the Middle East: that the United States' enemies in one country are its allies of convenience in another. Even as it reels from the first death of a sitting ambassador in more than two decades, the United States continues to supply logistical and other "command-and-control" support to rebels in Syria, while Gulf allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar pour in money and arms. Of little or insufficient concern, apparently, is the nature of those being empowered, or the broader ideological forces underlying their struggle....
The result is a social and political climate that not only features unprecedented polarization, but that presents a grave threat to U.S. interests -- both political and physical -- in the region.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, brought to the fore uncomfortable questions about the sources of violent Islamic extremism, and about the United States' unwitting support for the latter through continued patronage of those who help sow the seeds of this mindset. One hopes that these uncomfortable questions will now be revisited, and to greater substantive effect, when on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11 there should occur yet another act of political violence committed by individuals associated with that very same ideology." photo ForeignPolicy.com

Islamic terrorism isn't the issue. The issue is the US ruling class's close relationship with countries that breed Islamic terror:
10/20/11, "The lost decade," Angelo M. Codevilla, Claremont Institute
"That would have pointed to the Middle East’s regimes, and to our ruling class’ relationship with them, as the problem’s ultimate source. The rulers of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Palestinian Authority had run (and continue to run) educational and media systems that demonize America.
Under all of them, the Muslim Brotherhood or the Wahhabi sect spread that message in religious terms to Muslims in the West as well as at home.
That message indicts America, among other things, for being weak.
And indeed, ever since the 1970s U.S. policy had responded to acts of war and terrorism from the Muslim world by absolving the regimes for their subjects’ actions."...
