  1. It’s not awkward for me,
    France on the other hand may feel that their latest light crude investment didn’t really pan out as well as they had hoped. Thank god they were able to suck the Americans in for most of the expense though.
    Se’la’vie

  2. If the French manage to negotiate a reasonable deal for Libyan oil, you can bet the torture and death of the Ambassador will turn out to have been an “unfortunate accident”.
    I just about gag every time I hear or see the phrase “Arab Spring”.

  3. The Universe continues to unfold, not as we wish, but as all sensible and informed people expect it to.

    more like arab spring hunt…
    • (CBS/AP) EL-ARISH, Egypt • “Bedouin gunmen intercepted a tourist minivan
    and snatched two female American tourists and their Egyptian guide at
    gunpoint Friday near St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, the
    region’s security chief said.

  5. Civilization is a thin veneer at the best of times and best of places…..
    Currently in the Maghreb (North Africa)it is little more than a pretense….similar to Somalia.

  6. What ever happened to the French Foreign legion?
    I guess they suck up to Islam today as well.

  7. What were you thinking Abdul, you son of a thousand diseased camels? THat is not the way you give our ambassador a pedicure!!

  8. Has anyone thought to ask Brigitte Marcelle (aka DePape) how that Arab Spring thing is working out? You know, the thing she wanted for Canada.

  9. Misleading headline. Former Ambassador. I was outraged at first, but the protections afforded to the current ambassador are quite different from a former.
    The murder of a current ambassador is on the level of a declaration of war.

  10. Islam is indeed the answer. Just culling the herd of those currently offensive to Allah. Leave them alone, they know what they are doing.

    Yeah, she’s a real genius.:)

  12. Egypt has decided to put Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s son on trial. I don’t think we had this kind of trouble until Obama said Murbarak had to go. Obama’s foreign policy has been an unmitigated disaster

  13. Also it’s a (former) Libyan ambassador to France who was killed not a (former) French ambassador to Libya.

  14. as reprehensible as the various arab dictators were/are, they were the only thing holding back the ‘muslim brotherhood’ and their ultimate goal of bringing mandatory shar’ia law to North America and the entire world…but our ‘leaders’ put them in charge and are helping them expand their caliphate…remember that when you put your burqa on or have your beard measured to make sure it’s ‘respectful’ enough.
