Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton’s $70,000 apology to Muslims on Pakistani television as a public service announcement. That is the to cost American taxpayers, $70,000 for the ad that aired on seven different Pakistani television stations by the US Embassy in Islamabad. The ad is in English but subtitled in Urdu, the main Pakistani language. This leads the US government in distancing themselves from the anti-Islam video Innocence of Muslims and the right of free speech in America.
Victoria Nuland, US State Department spokesperson stated at a new briefing,
In order to ensure we reached the largest number of Pakistanis, some 90 million as I understand it in this case with these spots, it was the judgment that this was the best way to do it.”
I think the sense was that this particular aspect of the president and the secretary’s message needed to be heard by more Pakistanis than had heard it, and that this was an effective way to get that message across.”
Yes, I am sure these PSA’s did a great service for America in the eyes of Pakistani’s.
Just a video of protests today.
This is such a show of weakness. When Obama knew, only an idiot wouldn’t know, this was a terrorist attack why do these infor ads? I think the US could have used that money for something for our citizens. Does this pres. doesn’t get that these people hate us and no matter what you do or give them they will still want to kill us.
Wow, a whole $70,000 to make sure no more Americans get killed. You cheap ignorant moron. Blame the idiot who made the video for getting people killed and not the plethora of people who are trying to fix it and make it safe for the rest of Americans and here at home. You wanna see another 9/11? Get a brain you imbecile. Keep watching Fox and listening to your teabaggin Rush
Do you really think this will stop the killing? You are living on an alternate planet. If you think some stupid video, that has been out since July, started this your head is stuck in the sand. Do you honestly think $70 thousand is a lot of money? I see they are still killing. I guess that $70 thousand was another waste. Lets stop sending them money and let them just live they way they want to live. They do not like Americans and they never will. Even Obusted knows that it was a terrorist attack. Why spend the money when you know it wasn’t the movie? Our freedoms come be for any sand monkies.
Here is what Pakistan thinks of the US?
Pakistan’s powerful spy agency regards America as its “worst enemy,” and the government’s claims that it is cooperating with the US are a sham to extract billions of dollars in American aid, according to the CIA informant jailed for his role in hunting down Usama bin Laden.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Shakil Afridi, the medical doctor who helped pinpoint bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound before last year’s raid by SEAL Team 6, described brutal torture at the hands of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, and said the agency is openly hostile to the U.S.
“They said ‘The Americans are our worst enemies, worse than the Indians,’” Afridi, who spoke from inside Peshawar Central Jail, said as he recalled the brutal interrogation and torture he suffered after he was initially detained.
“I tried to argue that America was Pakistan’s biggest supporter – billions and billions of dollars in aid, social and military assistance — but all they said was, ‘These are our worst enemies. You helped our enemies.’

I suppose Obama will send Pakistan more money to them.
Obama continues on his apology tour of all the Muslim countries.
Billions of dollars of aid are given to these countries.
disgrace
We are sending our enemies money to kill our own troops. Lets stop sending money to people who hate our freedoms. Muslims show time and time again they don’t like our freedoms. Let them spend their lives in their own sand boxes.
Dip shit at Southern Illinois University and or Obama lover.
We are morons and imbeciles here?
No internet video caused the deaths of 4 Americans in Libya as it was premeditated.
The Muslims do to not need an excuse to kill Americans.
No PSA is going to change their minds.
Pull all Americans out of our Embassy’s and cut off all their funding/Aid from America.
They are savages/animals.
There will never be another 9/11 in America
just bringing you back to reality.
does the truth hurt that much?
I am so tired of our leaders bowing down. I will not give up my freedoms for anybody. Do people not understand that they hate us! It needs to be pounded into their thick skulls. THEY DON’T LIKE US!
Muse it is Friday again. it is after their cults prayers again. Watch the protests emerge across the Muslims land again as per last week.
Islamabad Federal Government of Pakistan has declared Friday a national holiday in honour of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH),
The cabinet decided to make Friday an official “day of expression of love for the prophet” after discussing the “Innocence of Muslims” movie, which has triggered more violent protests across the Islamic world, a senior government official told

Obama is very quiet on this since it has been shown that he doesn’t know what the heck he is doing. Obama said Romney was wrong. Oops another failure for Obama. When is he going to speak to the American people about this? Obama is leaving the Americans in the dark. The smart Americans know he is a weak pres.
Clinton fails to convince Republicans on administration’s account of Libya attack
Republican lawmakers left a closed-door briefing with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other officials on Thursday still unconvinced by the administration’s assessment that last week’s attack that killed four Americans in Libya wasn’t a premeditated act of terrorism.
“They’re trying to cover their behinds,” Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas) told The Hill upon leaving the House briefing with Clinton, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. Asked if they were successful, he said: “No.”

French diplomatic missions, schools closed in 20 countries, Foreign Ministry says
French embassies and schools will be closed in about 20 countries Friday as a security precaution, French Foreign Ministry said in a statement Wednesday, after the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo published cartoons apparently depicting the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.
Magazine director Stephane Charbonnier said his staff is “not really fueling the fire,” but rather using its freedom of expression “to comment (on) the news in a satirical way.”

Germany protects their embassies Obama not so much!
19 Reported Dead as Pakistanis Protest Muhammad Video
Friday’s violence in Pakistan began with a television station employee dying from gunshot wounds during a protest in the northwestern city of Peshawar, then was amplified through armed protests in the southern port of Karachi that left between 12 and 14 people dead, Pakistani news media reported.
By nightfall Geo, the leading television station, was reporting 19 deaths around the country.
Less violent protests occurred in other Muslim countries, but were exacerbated by the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a French satirical weekly.

Now someone from Congress is calling this out finally.
Rep. Rogers slams State Department for Pakistan ads denouncing anti-Islamic film
“I think it was a horrible idea,” said Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “It gave credibility and it gave a permission slip to Al Qaeda, to Pakistani officials.”
“I don’t know who gave them the advice,” Rogers said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “It was horrible advice. It has exacerbated the situation.”
“The administration gave credibility to this video that certainly nobody in America had seen and very few across the Middle East,” he said.
Rogers also argued that Pakistan Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour personally offering $100,000 for the death of the person who produced the film is further proof the administration made a mistake by running the ads.
“This is a minister of the government of Pakistan,” Rogers said. “As you have seen, it hasn’t been effective.”
