Republican Campaign Mantra:
We turned over a real mess to President Obama, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so give us another chance to  create a depression.

Yeah, Romney promises jobs from the job creators that have failed us over the last decade, just as Romney has failed America by not stepping up with his alleged brilliance 4 years ago...and now he claims that Muslims wouldn't have found the YouTube presentation revolting if Republicans were in power because they'd still be Shocked and Awed by the American Resolute.

He's  still peddling snake oil 'neath that bridge he wants to sell ya.

I've made an issue of the lack of security of the embassies in Libya and Egypt, and it turns out that the compound in Libya that got attacked is a satellite consul, not an embassy, which is in Tripoli.  Here's BBC's take on that matter.

Obama Administration Pushes False Line That A Movie Caused Attacks In Libya

When in reality it was a planned attack by an al-Qaeda group after its leader made public threats and the Obama Administration ignored warnings of the attack 48 hours prior.
The Founding Fathers established the first Dept. of Homeland Security. They called it "a Well Regulated Militia."

'This Does Not Represent Us': Moving Photos of Pro-American Rallies in Libya
Elspeth Reeve  on Sep 12, 2012

Just like not all Americans are like the people who made the weird anti-Islam movie that is sparking protests in Muslim nations, not all people in Libya are like the ones who killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens. Some of the people of Benghazi, where Stevens was killed, held a demonstration against terrorism and to show sympathy for the U.S. Libya Alhurra TV, an Internet TV channel founded at the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, posted Facebook photos of a rally there showing support for America and sympathy for Stevens. Here are some of those pictures:

Update: With the help from The Atlantic's multilingual Heather Horn and some Facebook commenters, we have a few translations of the Arabic signs.
 
 
 
Update: In the photo above, the sign held by the man on the far left says "No to al Qaeda, no to violence, this is a youth revolution." (Update II: An astute commenter points out the word is "terrorism," not violence.) The middle one says, "No No No to Al Qaeda." The sign held by the boy on the right is hard to read at this angle, but says something against killing.
 
 
From the Facebook page of The Libyan Center for Documentation, more images of the demonstration:
 
 
 
Update III: Reader Aicha Benmansour writes in with some translations. Above, the sign held by the woman on the right "is a Quran verse that says something like: 'Is the reward of goodness but goodness?!' (humble tentative, it's difficult to translate Quran from divine to human words -- it means something like a reminder to reward good by good)."

Update: The Supreme Security Committee Interim Tripoli has more photos of pro-American demonstrations in Tripoli.
 
The Arabic phrase above "Islam against terrorism" says "No to violence." That's on a lot of the signs.

Twitter user @2011feb17 says these photos are from a counter-protest in Algeria square in Tripoli:
 
 

Update III: Benmansour explains the sign on the right approximately translates as, "We disapprove/condemn the humiliation of the prophet but NOT with Terrorism."
