Libyan President Apologizes To U.S. For "Cowardly" Attack On Embassy, Offers Condolences.

Libyan President Apologizes To U.S. For "Cowardly" Attack On Embassy, Offers Condolences.

by TomP

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya's interim president has apologized to the United States for the attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi that killed the American ambassador and three of his staff.

Mohammed el-Megarif described the attack as "cowardly" and offered his condolences on the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and the three other Americans. Speaking to reporters, he vowed to bring the culprits to justice and maintain his country's close relations with the United States.

The attack was terrible and the loss of life so sad and senseless.

We are not at war with Muslims or the Libyan people. The people who shot the rocket are responsible for the deaths, not Islam or Libya or their adherents or people.

Now more than ever, aren't you glad we have calm and experienced leadership in the White House? Presdient Obama along with the help of Secretary Clinton and the entire Obama team will work to keep this nation safe and prevent more violence.

Last night, Mitt Romney revealed he is unfit to be President. People notice. When these crises come, people feel secure knowing that President Obama is in charge. He's had many 3 a.m. callls and passed all the tests. Romney failed his test as an American last night.

"Romney was faced with an important leadership test last night. He failed spectacularly."

He does have to get some of the right people in custody, or on slabs, and that with some speed, though....
