Obama on Libya attack: "Justice will be done"

This CBS article may or may not be rendered inoperative in the near future, in terms of whether the murders were connected to protesting the film, since later reports suggest they may have been an al-Qaida retaliation for a drone attack. We will see.

But no harm in posting the president's response.

(CBS News) President Obama on Wednesday morning said that the United States will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the attackers who killed four Americans in Libya overnight, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens.

"We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice will be done," Mr. Obama said from the White House rose garden. "Make no mistake, justice will be done."

Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack by Muslim protesters on the U.S. consulate compound in Benghazi, the U.S. government confirmed Wednesday.

Mr. Obama said he has ordered heightened security at all U.S. diplomatic offices around the world in the wake of the attack, as well as protests in Cairo on Tuesday. Both incidents were sparked by hardline Muslims protesting a film made in the U.S. that insults the Muslim prophet Muhammad.

he is relentless and thorough. Whoever attacked that embassy, I think your days are numbered. Prepare to meet Allah face to face.
