US embassies in the Muslim world were on high alert Friday following days of violent protests against an anti-Islam film. Germany, too, closed several embassies in fear of attacks. Some German commentators argue that the violence shows that Obama’s Middle East policies have failed.
After days of protests over an anti-Islam film, American diplomatic missions in the Middle East and North Africa were braced for further violence after Friday prayers. The US put its overseas missions on high alert.
Germany has closed its embassies in a number of Muslim-majority countries in fear of attacks. “We are observing how the security situation develops with great attentiveness and we have increased security precautions at a number of foreign missions,” a spokesman for the German Foreign Office told SPIEGEL ONLINE. Embassies in North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan are believed to be among those affected.
The spokesman said that the missions would only close on Friday, though. Other German institutions such as aid organizations have also been urged to increase security precautions, he said.

The Ambassador may have been alive if OBummer would have done something in the 48 hrs of advance warning they had!!! And if the Security could have had LIVE AMMUNITION! I mean what the hell is the point of having security w/No Ammunition??? how stupid is that!. Guess the Looser In Chief’s Apology World Tour didn’t work!!! Gee how surprising
At least the Germans allow there men real ammo,I was Sargent of the guard in Germany when the Baden Mein Hof Gang tried to assassinate the Chief Prosecutor of Germany 2 blocks from our front gate .I and The Officer of the Guard were the only ones allowed ammo my guards were partoling with M16 s and no ammo .Thank God they did’nt want to F with us and the Polizi were very fast to respond and yes they were all packing sub guns loaded!What kinda of fool would post unarmed guards in a hotspot like Libya,Egypt or even Mexico or Venesula ?Thats just plain foolish to the reality of the dangers!However this is’nt the frist time this regime has overlooked the deaths of others to advance whatever the agenda of the day is!Fast and Furious comes to mind.Why would the muslims be upset ,would’nt have anything to do with drone attacks,or Barry doing a endzone dance over the other Terrorist death{thanks Navy Seals and G.Bush2}
Obama’s Middle East Policy is going pretty much according to his plan.
This article states, “Obama’s Middle East Policies Have Failed,” the reality is absolutely every single one of his policies have failed, then again, what else would you expect from a neophyte like him?
campaign!!!! that is more important, dinner and fundraising. It is past time that this traitor is impeached!! He has no conscience nor any sorrow for the deaths of our citizens, his policy is no action policy, and hitlery just goes with it.. It is WAKE UP TIME AMERICA !!!
