And our response...

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others



That's telling them Obama!

Protesters climb U.S. Embassy walls in Cairo

[Updated at 5:38 p.m. ET] Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and tore down the American flag, apparently in protest of a film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed.....

....It was unclear which film upset the protesters.


LMAO. That was from CNN.

Obama Admin Responds To Egyptians Attacking And Raising Al-Qaeda Flag Over Embassy: We Don’t See Any Growing Anti-American Sentiment…



Wait, what?
Via Washington Examiner:
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland cautioned reporters not to assume that the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo today reflected growing anti-American sentiment among the Egyptian people.
In response to a reporter’s comment that “it does seem as if there is a growing anti-American sentiment in Cairo,” Nuland said, “I would urge you not to draw too many conclusions because we’ve also had some very positive developments in our relationship with Egypt.”

The key word is growing. Anti American sentiment can hardly get much higher than current therefore it is not growing.
Having trouble with politicspeak?

Wouldn't invading the embassy be the same as invading the US and be considered an act of war?

Congratulations to the protesters. They succeeded in getting me to watch a portion of a video I would normally completely ignore, considering its source.

The young people put themselves on the line for democracy to be hijacked
by the Muslim Brotherhood. It is time to face the fact that Islam is not a
religion of peace, its really little more than a criminal organization in and of
itself. We spend all kinds of time trying to put an end to Hells Angels yet we
allow radical terrorists to come here and seek citizenship. If we have no way
to sort out the good from the bad then none should be allowed until such time
as we can make that determination. These comments are not about fear
they are about common sence. It is time to say enough
