theres a van that has been parked there for a day or two
NASDAQ and other buildings evacuated

I don't really pay attention to the news these days, anybody feel like summarizing the controversy over Obama's response to the embassy bombing for me?

Diomedes · October 27, 2012, 06:16:57 AM

If you believe his detractors, Obama knew the Ambassador would be attacked by our evil nemesis enemy, Al Qaeda, but did nothing to stop it. Once it was under way, he and his anti-American administration prevented anyone from rushing to the scene to defend them. After it was over, they conspired to lie about the scene, and then cover up the lies.

The administration claims to have done their best in a zesty situation, denies the charges of lying conspiring and covering up, and the State Department is investigating the event.

Meanwhile, some people have been arrested who participated in the attack. Tunisia got one guy, if I recall. I'm not really following it either, though. I'm amazed that it took this long for terrorists to reach such a soft target as an ambassador who likes to get out and mingle with the people.
