This was hardly some reactionary protest, hence the timing - 9/11. The ambassador's own diaries even hint that he feared for his life with the recent mod activity - before the video I believe. Libyan mobs generally resort to some molotov cocktails, some rock throwing and some idiotic slogans about death to America. This was hardly that. This was a well coordinated military executed operation. RPG's and heavy machine guns don't just go un-noticed in these crowds - begging the question why the guards didn't open fire immediately. This was a terror attack, doesn't matter how it is spun. The administration knew this less than 24 hours later. They just didn't want to admit it - instead blaming some bogeyman video for something planned well in advance of the video.
That so called arab spring is really working out for us, about as well as wrapping up the war on terror and mitigating the Al-Quida influence.
The ambassador is dead due to the violent actions of a bunch of america hating, anti-semetic jihadi's. Not some third rate internet video.
