Two Days After Ambassador Stevens Killed, Hillary Celebrates Ramadan By Hosting Dinner Party For Libyan Ambassador (http://patdollard.com/2012/09/hillary-clinton-celebrates-end-of-ramadan-at-state-department-with-libyan-ambassador/)The following is commentary by the author of the piece, not the reporting of what transpired:
How about sending a message by canceling the dinner, you stupid f****** b****? SOMEBODY in the Libyan government knew something about an attack of this size in advance. You send a message to the Libyan government that that kind of crap won’t fly anymore by applying pressure and sending messsages. You don’t celebrate with the rep of the government who may have been complicit in the murder of your ambassador two days after he is killed.
Now back to the message:
(CNS NEWS) (http://cnsnews.com/news/article/hillary-celebrates-end-ramadan-state-department-libyan-ambassador-0) – At an event officials say was planned before the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans on Sept. 11, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Libyan Ambassador to the U.S., Ali Aujali, celebrated the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the State Department on Thursday.
The Eid ul-Fitr reception was held almost a month after the official end of the month on Aug. 19, delayed, officials say, because of Clinton’s travel schedule.
“The date [of the reception] was set purely because of scheduling considerations, especially given lengthy travel abroad recently,” a State Department spokesman told CNSNews.com via email.
The spokesman provided a copy of the Secretary’s schedule, showing that Thursday’s event was scheduled about 24 hours ahead of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
“Although I am many weeks overdue in saying it: Eid Mubarak,” Clinton said. “No matter how belated we are honoring Eid and the end of Ramadan, this is a cherished tradition here at the State Department.”
Clinton acknowledged the deaths, saying, “Tonight, our gathering is more somber than any of us would like. This comes during sad and difficult days for the State Department family.
“We lost four Americans,” Clinton said. “They were good and brave men. They were committed to the cause of building a brighter future for the people of Libya.
“And we condemn the violence in the strongest terms, the violence against our posts in Benghazi, in Egypt, and now in Yemen,” Clinton said.
Clinton invited the Libyan ambassador to speak, and he too spoke about the deaths of the four Americans, including two former Navy Seals who were guarding embassy personnel.
“Standing beside you here in the Department of State, it shows the world how much the Americans are standing by the Libyans and the Libya revolution,” Aujali said. “You do support us during the war, but you have to support us during the peace. We are going through a very difficult time, and we need the help of friends.
“It is a very sad day for me, since I learned of the death of my dear friend and colleague, Ambassador Chris Stevens,” Aujali said. “I knew Chris for the last six years. We play tennis together, we drive in one car, and we had some traditional Libyan food in my house.
“I must tell you, Madam Secretary, and tell the American people, that Chris is a hero,” Aujali said. “He is a real hero. He’s the man who believes in the Libyans and the Libyan ability that they will achieve democracy after 42 years of the dictatorship.”
Clinton spoke about faith and tolerance at the event, including about the Obama administration’s “2012 Hours Against Hate” initiative to encourage young people to “put themselves in another person’s shoes through service projects.”...
I'm seeing Hillary being, 'the woman that could have been the first female president...'
