Wow... that changes everything!It doesn't matter which embassy made the statement, the fact that they were attacked over a lame movie that insulted them and the embassy tries to pacify them by saying that it is somebody else's fault is pathetic.
Yeah ok. How about you go work in an embassy in the middle east and tell them how to do their jobs. The ****ing arrogance of people like you telling trained diplomats how to handle a dangerous situation is just ridiculous.
Edit- Oh and it should be noted that the situation at the embassy that issued that statement did end up getting resolved with out any Americans getting hurt, and that they also released statements condemning the attacks which for some reason are being ignored by some of the retardedly partisan among us.

What the hell are we doing with embassies open and wasting money in the first place?
How much money could be saved if we shut down at least half of our embassies in the world?
It's obvious that most of the ME doesn't like us there. So lets accommodate them.... Pull the F out.
If we ever need to talk to folks there, we can do it via Internet, phones, meetings, etc.
It amazes me how we don't have enough money for health care or students but we have unlimited funds to run embassies in countries that don't want us there.
Sucks for those who died. Too bad. I heard that the ambassador was a good guy.

Of course, Mitt Romney has taken advantage of this tragedy to blast the President.... Unbelievable...
The GOP continues to show it's moderate and classy side.
All while ignoring the supposed video that pissed those people off in the first place.

While there is a whole ****load of stuff the US spends money on unnecessarily I don't think I'd categorize Embassies as one of them. It would be difficult to have any sort of foreign relations with other countries without them.
I also wanted to post a few pictures of some folks in Benghazi to remind people that not every person, or I would suggest not even most of the people there are cut from the same mold as those who attacked the consulate.

How so?
If folks from Egypt, Libya, or anywhere want to come talk to us, it's not like DC is that hard to find on a map.
Get rid of at least half the embassies around the world IMO.
Especially in places like the ME where they don't want us there in the first place.
If Egypt cannot stand on its own two feet then maybe it doesn't deserve to be a country.
It's hilarious how all these punkass countries in the ME feel entitled to American money. And then give us the guilt trip (or threaten us) if we don't pay out. I don't see Canada or Mexico paying us to "support" us. Why should we then pay to support Egypt? Why should they get a single cent of "foreign aid?" Raise taxes, build up your own infrastructure, educate your populace sink or swim on your own. Gotta do something other than sit on your *** praising allah 6 times a day while sucking billions of US dollars annually (and then talking **** about us).
perhaps Allah would help them out more if they actually worked, took on western culture (instead of bashing it), and mutilated women's private parts?
Shut down the embassies, retract our armies, let the ME sink or swim on its own. If oil prices shoot through the roof all the better. Get us off that crap and/or force us to keep more of it here instead of selling it off.
"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none"
Hilarious how the founding fathers are adored by both political parties yet this lil tid bit of advice is especially ignored...
We'll argue and argue about "rights" and the definition of "welfare" yet blatantly ignore a pretty damn bold, wise, and clear statement from the author of our Declaration of Independence.

Rep'd.
It is important for us to avoid broad generalizations. I pray that these actions do not escalate into a broader conflict while also praying for justice. Hopefully, the Libyan government helps capture the individuals involved in the attack.
Another picture...
