Egyptians attack U.S. embassy

Anger about an unnamed video apparently sparked Egyptian protesters to attack the United States embassy in Cairo. The video in question apparently casts Islam and its prophet Muhammad in a negative light, according to the protesters.

Although the video has not been identified, embassy officials issued a statement condemning "the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others ..."

Protesters tore down the U.S. flag atop the embassy, tore it to pieces and attempted to burn portions of it. They then replaced the Stars and Stripes with a black flag bearing the message, "There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet. The black flag is apparently similar to banners used by al-Qaida.

Just say no to "allies"?

The White House has declined a request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with President Obama during the PM's visit to NYC later this month. Apparently, the POTUS will be too busy fundraising to make time for one of our closest "allies". Story from FoxNews.com.
