Emerging Details On Lybia Attack

[Glocktogo]

More and more, this thing is looking like a professionally planned and executed attack on America, not an ad-hoc protest gone bad as some would have us believe.

So because a SEAL died, this must have been a "well planned attack"? Do people not realize numbers always win? SEALs aren't super heros.....

Not to take away from the deaths, but that just rubs me the wrong way. "He was too much of a badass to be killed by a large mob of pissed of Libyans."

You've just proven that you didn't read all the links. You didn't have time. All you did was scan some lines and make an uninformed judgement. The reason it rubs you the wrong way is because it goes against your ill-informed and pre-conceived notions.

Move along little troll. Nothing for you here...

Aside from the fact that he was a civilian, this post is just wrong.

Of course it was planned and executed. Do you think Muslims are too stupid to be able to pull off an offensive? What are my pre-conceived notions?

Now you're contradicting yourself. Perhaps you should slow down enough to let your thoughts coalesce before posting?

Of course it was a planned attack, I didn't really get my point across in my first post. I was just quoting what the former SEALs sister said. It was similar to the way Bin Laden was always referred to as the "master mind" behind 9/11. It's just hyperbole because we act like Americans can't possibly be killed by someone we view as inferior.

Except for the fact that they were hit with precision mortar fire at a safe house that was supposed to be unknown.... I guess a pissed off mob of protestors could randomly organize a coordinated military style strike... Stranger things have happened but it seems unlikely...

WOW... you mean,... a REAL conspiracy???

I thought what the media tells us is the truth!

Someone was kind enough to point out that my keyboard is dyslexic. It's Libya, not Lybia.
