the attack on our embassy happened as a result of obama's lack of backbone?

Cause it seems that since he is so quick to apologize, that no one fears our power anymore.

    Obama has been apologizing to out enemies ever since he took office. That is the "Obama Doctrine." He insults our allies and apologizes to our enemies. They are laughing at us behind our back, just as China is laughing at us about our economic policies.

    We have become the laughing stock of the world!!!

    That stupid film had nothing to do with the attacks. They were coordinated and planned on the anniversary of 9/11. That ridiculous movie was used as an excuse to pick a fight with the west knowing that Obama would do what he does best.... apologize and then move on with his campaign in vegas. to all U obama followers, u still think we have a real leader in the WH or do u need to see those mobs at ur doorstep?

    What apology? The letter that Romney so quickly mentioned before he knew what was what was written BEFORE the attack. It was written by an embassy that was hoping to calm protesters who were angry but relatively peaceful. Then Al Qaeda forces, acting on instructions from a 9/11 anniversary video that said they should attack in Libya to avenge the death of the Libyan former Al Qaeda #2 that Obama killed, showed up at the protest with heavy artillery and attacked the embassy. (This was very different from what happened in Egypt, that was violence over the video alone, but it wasn't nearly as violent as the Al Qaeda attack in Libya.) All of that happened AFTER the message that Romney claimed was an apology, but was in fact a diplomatic statement to Libyans by our diplomats in Libya, in other words, their exact job description. It didn't criticize free speech, it criticized an idiot who was speaking.

    The guy who made the video knew it was terrible, so terrible that he didn't even tell the actors what it was about. It wasn't even originally about Muhammad. They dubbed in the name, it was originally "Master George", which I guess was supposed to look similar in the mouth movements. Now he had every right to make that film and I will defend his right, but I also have the right to call him an idiot and a hateful son of a b---- and so does our embassy.

    sure he has sent the message that he will do little or no longer something if American diplomats are killed and American embassies ransacked. This was an act of war yet Obama treats it like a typical wreck in. Sanctions against libya could be a commence. it became into Libya who became into meant to preserve our embassy interior of their us of a. they did no longer and obama would not even seem annoyed approximately it.

    I'd say because he is inept when it comes to foreign policy. The Dems have NO clue, not one since FDR. Clinton? There was no peace, he BOUGHT the peace. He paid off anywhere there was trouble. These four deaths are at Obama's feet, where they belong. He left OUR embassy UNSECURED. Period. Yeah, let's re-elect this inept moron. Not Happening.

    UPDATE: Someone just said here....I am correct, Obama is guilty of dereliction of duty, and would be court marshalled. Someone in the military, retired.

    I dont know if Obama apologized, but Clinton has.

    It makes us look weak. The muslims had no right to attack men that had nothing to do with the movie.

    No the attack on the embassy was a result of an angry muslim mob

    and a host country that was not able (or maybe willing) to fulfill its duty of

    protecting foreign embassies.

    I agree. Why was this such a surprise to him? And why was his first statement an apology?

    We need to be strong, or we will be a victim
