Lawmakers Call For Libya, Egypt Aid To Be Stripped Over Attacks On US Posts

Several conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill are pushing to strip or suspend aid to Libya and Egypt following the deadly attacks Tuesday on U.S. diplomatic offices. 
The U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, was killed along with three other Americans in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Attackers also stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, breaching the walls and tearing down a U.S. flag, supposedly in protest over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad. 
House lawmakers are poised to vote as early as Thursday on a stopgap budget bill that would include $20 million for Libya. But several lawmakers were pushing back in the wake of the attacks.

The Ambassador would still be alive today if Quadafi were still in power. When the mob of Islamic extremists first started to appear he would have made a quick example of a few of them with some well aimed bullets to the head and the mob would have scattered, and not assembled again.
Aid needs to be should should be cut off. The area is done as in finished. The Islamists (thanks to Obama) have gained control.

Strip them of aid?
Thats all?
This is an act of war and the Obama regime is directly to blame.
21 times at the DNC they bragged and bloviated about killing Bin Laden.
This has nothing to do with a movie as the chants at our embassies were, "we are all Osama Obama!"

They are so lying about a movie being the cause it's not even funny. Those mobs know no more about this movie than my cat and if they do it is only because CIA operatives put it in their heads after the fact so Obama has an excuse.
Obama helped to put in power these mobs which idolized bin laden. Most everyone with knowledge of the Middle East knew this was inevitable and was going to happen. It was a "not if but when" situation. Now instead of evacuating US personel Obama's sending 50 Marines in harms way.
