Well whoop-te-do.

Reportedly, the attackers killed one person in Libya. It is not known whether the victim was American or not.

And you know what the most important thing I learned is?


According to Bloomberg:

In Egypt's capital, Cairo, Islamist demonstrators scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy, ripped down a U.S. flag and chanted "Obama, we are here to sacrifice for Osama."

The Egyptian crowds, numbering in the hundreds, chanted "We are all Osama bin Laden" as the U.S. marked the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks that killed about 3,000 people on orders of the man the protesters were extolling.

Isn't that special!

I think we've restocked on JDAMs and Mavericks, and I understand that the Army is issuing a new and much-improved round for the M4.

UPDATE 9/12/11:  The U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three staffers have been killed.  That's our thanks for helping oust Gaddafi.

"We sacrificed dozens and hundreds during the uprising for our dignity. The Prophet's dignity is more important to us and we are ready to sacrifice millions," said mosque preacher Mohamed Abu Gabal who joined the protest.

Well, there are tens of millions of Americans prepared to help you make that sacrifice, Mohamed.
