CAIRO (AP) - Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen has praised the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Libya and called for more attacks to expel American embassies from Muslim nations.

The statement, posted Saturday on Islamic militant websites, suggested al-Qaida was trying to co-opt the wave of angry protests in the Muslim world over a film produced in the United States denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula said the killing this week of Ambassador Chris Stevens in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was "the best example" for those attacking embassies.

It said protesters' aim should be to "expel the embassies of America from the lands of the Muslims" and called on protests to continue in Muslim nations "to set the fires blazing at these embassies."

You just keep your head 'up there' tlynn...Your in good company I'm sure. If he is a Christain why does he not wear his wedding band during the month of Ramadan? And he does not attend Christain services in the Whitehouse? He doesn't give a RATS AZZ about bringing or protecting American over there. He apologized for "MAKING THEM KILL THESE 4 AMERICANS. stupid idiot.

nativejax, you are so far out of reality that I don't even know where to begin!…Where you got the info that our Ambassador was sexually assaulted is FAR beyond me…Must be a Limbaugh thing! Our President is Christian! Where you got this other info is beyond me! And beyond truth! Who is saying that our Pres. is on the golf course? If anything he is on the basketball court! The fodder that you are spewing is laughable! It is outrageous!

WHY would this 'sick religious FANATICS' not only murder our American Ambassador, but sexually assault him while doing so? And WHY has our great muslim leader, Obama completely IGNORED this 'act' of war on American's and STILL has not shown the slightest INTEREST in PROTECTING American's citizen's HERE OR ABROAD....WHY? The answer is OBVIOUS now...he's too busy on late night talk shows, radio shows, playing golf. Do you know that SO FAR in U.S. history, President Barrack OBama has been out on the golf course LONGER than any President we've had so far during office? It's more import to perfect that swing than do his job and protect his, "lowly American subjects". FROM HIS MOUTH, just after he was illegally elected, HE STATED. "I'm the President, I can do anything I want". And he has done NOTHING but tripled the National debt and refuse to lead the Nation Defense Dept. FACTS...keep voting for these un AMERICAN democrats and this country WILL fall...

Why are we allowing the 'weak' leaders of this country to have American DIE and suffer at the hands of 'brain washed' countries that no matter what you do to be 'friends' with or try to 'help' them, THEY WILL NEVER GET ALONG WITH US. Their own leaders FAILED them so they blame ONLY the U.S. even when they kill other people from other countries.

Anyone who has had more than one pet can probably relate to this. I had a Chow-Chow that was my best friend. I had her for 17 years and finally had to have her put down and it nearly killed me too. When she was about 8 years old, I found a pit-bull dog that someone had abandoned near my business. He was a friendly chap so I took him to the Vet and made sure he was OK, and decided to take him home and introduce him to my Chow dog. BIG MISTAKE!!! They wanted to fight at the site of one another. It was clear that I couldn't keep both dogs without separating them. I kept the pit-bull at my business till I could find him a good home. The point of this story is that it is painfully obvious that the muslims hate American's and everything we stand for. To keep trying to coexist is insane and only going to cause more violence. Do we want to live in a separated nation? Or, are we going to have to get rid of one the dogs?
