House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) warned Thursday that escalating attacks on American embassies in the Middle East could develop into "real trouble" and said that the United States needed to clearly signal the ramifications of future attempts to breach diplomatic missions abroad.Rogers's comments come after protesters in Yemen attempted early Thursday to breach the walls of the embassy there just a day after violence in Egypt and Libya left four American foreign service workers dead, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya."These are all opportunities that are stacking up for individuals who want to go after American stations abroad," Rogers said on CNN's "Starting Point." "So this is a very important time for us to have a very clear sense and communicate that to -- across the Middle East, what U.S. policy is, how we're going to handle people who cross the wall. This is a pretty serious matter and we've got to stop it now. If we're still talking about other embassies in several weeks, we've got real trouble."Rogers went on to say that there was no evidence that he had yet seen that the Tuesday attacks on Egypt and Libya were coordinated across borders, as some have suggested.
this stinks this IMO is an effort to undermine the Pres. in his re-election. not like there are not people here that could set in motion with those who feel their nefarious regimes and the treatment of their people would be best served by a republican of the same mindset.
Romney goes and has secret meetings and we start being attacked, do you think it beyond his desperate reach for the keys to conspire to make this more about the until now their empty bucket of the Pres. foreign policy, what have they won with before, scaring "we the people" and waving the sabers.
let this unfold, don't be like Romney, the picture will look different and facts will lead to clarity.
"The effort on the compound in Benghazi was a clearly coordinated type effort," Rogers said. "This wasn't some folks who grabbed some rifles and said, this is a great opportunity, let's go down and shoot up the embassy."
Rogers also said that the attacks would demand a through review of the American intelligence apparatus, which did not flag any warning signs before the attacks despite the fact that they came on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
someone initiated the idea then the act, not a mob mentality.
