Big Surprise. After Barack Obama Calls the Benghazi Consulate Attack a "Movie Protest"...Jihadis Around the World Figure They Will Attack Our Embassies - U.S. Embassy In Turkey Hit By Suicide Bomber Today

I think my title for this blogpost about says it all - it took Barack Obama and his clan of misfits nearly 2 months to declare the attack on Benghazi as a terrorist attack but today, it only took them six hours to call the attack on our embassy in Turkey a terrorist attack - either they are getting smarter, or they are getting sick of hearings before Congress or perhaps this one was just too hard to cover up.

Either way, the word is out - American embassies are fair game - don't worry, the limp-wristed leader of America won't take out any revenge on these attacks...after all, it's been 4 months since Benghazi and Barack Hussein Obama has yet to bring a single jihadi in that attack to justice.

By the way, has anyone in the Obama administration today referred to this as an ISLAMIC terrorist attack?

The story comes from The Washington Post.


Suicide bombing kills Turkish guard at US Embassy in what Washington calls a terrorist attack


ANKARA, Turkey — In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack.

Washington immediately warned Americans to stay away from all U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey and to be wary in large crowds.



Turkish officials said the bombing was linked to leftist domestic militants.

The attack drew condemnation from Turkey, the U.S., Britain and other nations and officials from both Turkey and the U.S. pledged to work together to fight terrorism.

“We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara, which took place at the embassy’s outer security perimeter,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

“A suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror,” he said. “It is a terrorist attack.”

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said police believe the bomber was connected to a domestic leftist militant group. Carney, however, said the motive for the attack and who was behind it was not known.

A Turkish TV journalist was seriously wounded in the 1:15 p.m. blast in the Turkish capital, and two other guards had lighter wounds, officials said.

The state-run Anadolu Agency identified the bomber as Ecevit Sanli. It said the 40-year-old Turkish man was a member of the outlawed Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, which has claimed responsibility for assassinations and bombings since the 1970s.

The group has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States but had been relatively quiet in recent years.

The U.S. Embassy building in Ankara is heavily protected and located near several other embassies, including those of Germany and France.

U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey have been targeted previously by terrorists. In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaida-affiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead.

On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked a U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 last year, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The attackers in Libya were suspected to have ties to Islamist extremists, and one is in custody in Egypt.

Friday’s bombing occurred inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance to the U.S. Embassy, which is used by staff. The guard who was killed was standing outside the checkpoint, while the two wounded guards “were standing in a more protected area,” said Interior Minister Muammer Guler said.

The two were treated on the scene and did not require hospital treatment, he said.

The Hurriyet newspaper said staff at the embassy took shelter in a “safe room” inside the compound soon after the explosion.

Police swarmed the area and immediately cordoned it off. Forensic investigators in white outfits and gloves soon combed the site.

TV news video showed the embassy door blown off its hinges. The blast also shattered the windows of nearby businesses, littering debris on the ground and across the road. The inside of the embassy did not appear to be damaged.

As I recall Obama's predecessor failed to bring to justice OBL for 9-11. Jihadists who plan such intricate attacks are usually very secretive and reclusive by nature. Tracking them down is not something you do within 24 hours. They are professional fugitives. They do it for a living. Take a good look at the individual who was number 2 after OBL on the FBI's 10 most wanted List. He lived as a free man for 16 years, inside America of all places. He was so wanted that only OBL outranked him on the list. And he managed to hide in Santa Monica!! Imagine how hard it is to track down the Benghazi attackers in a hostile environment that is the Sahel today? 4 months? That's nothing. It took 10 years to get OBL, longer even, 3 Presidents.

In order to defeat them you will need strategic patience. They waited, are waiting and will wait to strike again. Question is.....how long can we wait? It's a battle of willpower. If you expect a quick 3 week victory ala Baghdad 2003, forget about it. This is the long war. Longer than the Cold War. They stage these embassy attacks to goad us into a strategic misstep. Lets not fall for such dirty tricks. Instead of going all gung ho and yelling "get some" while we fire JDAM's, let's be lethal in a surgically Machiavellian way. Let's prefer the more quiet approach. Like we did with KSM, Abu Farraj and Ramzi bin al Shibh. Imagine the kind of info Mokhtar Bel Mokhtar will divulge if taken alive? Or Wadaoud? Or perhaps if their HQ, granted a mobile HQ is raided? What kind of intell might we come across?

So while you might feel frustrated at the 4 months of seemingly no results coming in, remember that on April 30th, 2011 the whole world but a few dozen individuals had lost all hope in locating, let alone capturing or killing OBL. It's better to allow your enemy to cluster together and retaliate with such vengeful fury that their entire network is reduced to YouTube status. A hammer stroke will only make them scatter and harder to locate. Allow them to build a false sense of security, especially one based on arrogance. Let them celebrate their so-called victory late into the night, for DEVGRU comes to slit their throats when they've made merry and pleasant dreams are right around the corner. They will wake up to a nightmare.

I could stomach the above post previous to mine if the president were not such an appeaser. He has repeatedly given muslims a pass in america and elsewhere. He is a weak kneed vascilator boot licker when it comes to terror. He takes credit for OBL, he didnt kill Osama, Seals did. He is nothing more that a stuffed white shiort seeking to destroy america from within. As for benghazi gate, impeachment procedings should have been started for his lies, prevarications and deit. Remember he only got 51% of teh vote hardly a stellar mandate. Now he looks to disarm america , shut down its armed forces and make America a new victim to our enemies.

How the hell did we end up with such a weak bastard as Obama.

When was the last time a president got more than 51-53%? FDR, Reagan and Eisenhower got mandates. Everybody else, including Clinton, Bush and Obama have presided over a politically divided nation.
