Obama to UN: It's Not My Fault Stevens is Dead
Passing the buck in dramatic fashion on the world stage, President Barack Obama told the UN General Assembly this morning that the U.S. government was not responsible for the anti-Islam video that he once again blamed for recent attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East. He added that more guards at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi would not have helped save Ambassador Chris Stevens, and that the real problem was "deeper causes" such as religious intolerance.
"[I]t will not be enough to put more guards in front of an Embassy; or to put out statements of regret, and wait for the outrage to pass," Obama told the assembled diplomats and heads of state. "If we are serious about those ideals, we must speak honestly about the deeper causes of this crisis....Today, we must affirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens, and not by his killers. Today, we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United Nations."

Oh, I dunno, I think putting a phalanx of heavily armed guards between Ambassador Stevens and the al Qaeda hordes - oh, sorry, the TOTALLY SPONTANEOUS protestors of a crappy (if historically factual) youtube clip nobody knew about until Donk Jesus started publicizing it at every campaign stop (of which Turtle Bay was the latest) - would have helped "Chris" quite a bit. A view that I'm sure he would endorse, if he were still alive to be asked that question.
