I saw on the news this morning, but I cannot find anything confiming it now, that the attack on the ambassador Chris Stevens was preplanned, and the riot may have been either a diversion or just the excuse the attackers were looking for. Anybody else hear this?

Weapons that killed the American ambassador, said that weapons given to the rebels by the United States.
The strategically wise thing for the US to have done was to patronize Secular Arab Nationalism. But after Eisenhower we weren't smart enough to do this, and basically ceded Arab nationalism to the Soviets.

If he was around now, he'd thrash Obama in an election.

Anybody else hear this? I saw that as well. Also from what I heard on the news, though not confirmed, a Libyan official was suspected of passing information along to the terrorists prior to the attacks on the embassy.....but Libyan officials have arrested four people in connection to the embassy attacks......

One CNN article that says " Yes, it was Al-Qaeda."
One CNN article that says, " No, it wasn't."
Granted, the "Yes" article is slightly fresher.

In fact, against the spread of Soviet, the United States has supported creationism Islamic countries. Evangelists made opposition to evolution. Also supported the hijab
Thus, the spread of Soviet stopped, but the fundamentalist Islamic stronger.
A culture of Islam in the Arabian peninsula, in this situation there is nothing for them to do. But in Egypt, North Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, the spread of Islam in these countries, an unfortunate situation for the world.
