Russia does their Benghazi RIGHT,triggering TeaBaggers to expat there. (Do I really need "sarcasm"?)

See, Russia knows how to do things. Strange how Russia, doing everything RIGHT in their own Benghazi, STILL long hours and days later, STILL STILL STILL can’t pinpoint the REASON FOR THE ATTACK. Every TeaBagger knows that EVERYTHING should be known IMMEDIATELY, otherwise it’s a LIE by OBAMA and Hillary. Yeah, there was a headline about a relative of one of the Benghai dead, screaming, “OBAMA/Hillary LIED to me!!!!!!!!!” It turned out that the lie was at the funeral, days/couple of weeks after the attack, when EVERYBODY KNOWS everything should be KNOWN, to the effect that the attack was related to the Mohammed movie and its riots in Egypt and elsewhere. Yeah, a LIE.

[font size=5]Russian Embassy In Libya Attacked...[/font]

.... The reason for the attack was not immediately clear, but one diplomatic source said it did not appear to be directly linked to any militant group. He said a Ukrainian woman had killed a Libyan on Tuesday and then sought refuge in the Russian embassy.

The crowd had then come to protest and look for her.

The Russian Itar Tass news agency cited unnamed sources as saying that the embassy territory was now fully under control.

"In the evening hours, an armed attack was carried out on the diplomatic mission and an attempt was undertaken to get inside. The attackers opened fire and tore the Russian flag."

The sources said Libyan authorities were searching for the gunmen.

Militants linked to al Qaeda affiliates attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and killed Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.

Western powers, using air power, led the military campaign that ultimately toppled Gaddafi. Russia, however, did not take part in the action and condemned what it called the West's abuse of a United Nations Security Council to intervene.
