Security guy killed in Yemen at US embassy
The Associated Press reports that a Yemeni security official was killed in a drive by shooting at the US embassy there this morning. But I guess the real story is that the Associated press is still clinging to the “offensive video” explanation for renewed violence (or continuing violence, rather) in the region;
Anti-American violence in the Middle East has spiked over the past month, most of it triggered by an anti-Islam video made privately in the United States. On September 11 in the Libyan city of Benghazi, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans – including two former Navy SEALs – were killed in what U.S. administration officials now describe as an act of terrorism. There is some debate about whether the attack was related to protests about the film or whether it was a premeditated attack unrelated to the film.
I’m tempted to screen shoot the passage because it will probably disappear the minute some AP editor reads the news anywhere and discovers that the White House has been calling the attack in Benghazi a pre-planned attack since the first day, according to Jay Carney in an exchange with Jake Tapper yesterday.
You’d think the Obama/Biden campaign could coordinate their lies a little better with their propagandists.
While we’re on the subject of media and lies, ROS sent us a link to The Conservative Treehouse which writes about CNN journalist (probably the only time you’ll see me use those words together) Amber Lyon who exposes her own network being bought by governments to broadcast lies. Not the first time it’s happened certainly, nor the last, and I don’t see any shock on your faces from here. but you should read the whole post.

Good on Amber for exposing the media’s incestuous relationship with White House for untold Administrations. It’s been state run media since at least the advent of cable news.
Local news reported that shooting this morning as a driveby, with possible ties to al Qaeda.
Didn’t say a word about any connection to any video. 🙂
I think you should do a screen shot of the AP report…you know, for posterity.
“Anti-American violence in the Middle East has spiked over the past month, most of it triggered by an anti-Islam video….” I wonder just how the AP determined that most of the violence is attributable to the video no one has seen. What did their people do, conduct a poll of terrorists? I can hear it now:
“This is not a sales call. This is an Associated Press poll requesting your participation in a random survey of certain active terrorists. If you choose to participate, the Associated Press will not share any information about you with anyone, other than as aggregate data. Press 1 to take the poll.”
Terrorist presses 1 on obamaphone.
The chief reason that you participated in the Benghazi attack that included the murder of an American ambassador and others was that you:
A. Heard that an American made a video that blasphemed the Great Prophet;
B. Heard that an American made a video that blasphemed the Great Prophet;
C. Heard that an American made a video that blasphemed the Great Prophet; or
D. None of the Above.
CNN Journalist….as you point out this is most likely another oxymoron.
I remember when the AP was actually investigating news and not just repeating sh1t they read somewhere else.
@3 Nicely done. Take a bow.
I’m sure the Administration, in an attempt to avoid the dreaded Terrorism word, will label this as an unfortunate pre-Halloween party mixup.
