    • As a Libyan citizen I present to the family of the late Chris Stevens and to the American people my deepest condolences. Ambassador Chris Stevens was a friend of the Libyan people, but the hands of treachery and filth won it. Will never forget this man and help the help of the United States of America to us. Long live the friendship the United States and Libya.

    •  Hello Ambassador Rice, i thought this video would be appropriate to remember Ambassador Stevens and to better tell the story behind Ambassador Steven and what he was trying to achieve, it is a sad day for The State Department, the lost of the Ambassador and other staff members is a heavy blow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_SIIxholL4&feature=player_embedded

  2. SECRETARY CLINTON:

    It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the death of four American personnel in Benghazi, Libya yesterday. Among them were United States Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and Foreign Service Information Management Officer, Sean Smith. We are still making next of kin notifications for the other two individuals. Our hearts go out to all their families and colleagu...
    es.

    A 21 year veteran of the Foreign Service, Ambassador Stevens died last night from injuries he sustained in the attack on our office in Benghazi.

    I had the privilege of swearing in Chris for his post in Libya only a few months ago. He spoke eloquently about his passion for service, for diplomacy and for the Libyan people. This assignment was only the latest in his more than two decades of dedication to advancing closer ties with the people of the Middle East and North Africa which began as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco. As the conflict in Libya unfolded, Chris was one of the first Americans on the ground in Benghazi. He risked his own life to lend the Libyan people a helping hand to build the foundation for a new, free nation. He spent every day since helping to finish the work that he started. Chris was committed to advancing America’s values and interests, even when that meant putting himself in danger.

    Sean Smith was a husband and a father of two, who joined the Department ten years ago. Like Chris, Sean was one of our best. Prior to arriving in Benghazi, he served in Baghdad, Pretoria, Montreal, and most recently The Hague.

    All the Americans we lost in yesterday’s attacks made the ultimate sacrifice. We condemn this vicious and violent attack that took their lives, which they had committed to helping the Libyan people reach for a better future.

    America’s diplomats and development experts stand on the front lines every day for our country. We are honored by the service of each and every one of them.

  4. For three years, Pastor Nadarkhani faced a death sentence in Iran, a clear violation of his human rights. Today he is finally free.

    The United States stands with all in Iran who remain imprisoned simply because of their faith.
  5. 100,000+: the number of people driven from Syria in August by vicious, unrelenting violence.

    We are now giving more than $100 million in humanitarian relief to those beset by conflict in Syria. We're grateful to those who’ve opened their borders and call on all who are concerned for the safety of Syrians to help with safe passage.
  6. Two years ago tonight, President Obama announced an end to the American combat operation in Iraq.

    To all of you who served and are serving: we thank you for your bravery and sacrifice.

  7. My government is pursuing every avenue to provide humanitarian relief to those affected by the violence in Syria. Our aid has fed the hungry and bound up the wounds of as many of Assad's victims as we can reach.

    But this is not, at root, a...
    humanitarian crisis. It is a political crisis caused by the cruelty and callousness of the Assad regime. No amount of humanitarian assistance will end the bloodshed and suffering. That day will come only once Assad has departed and a peaceful, Syrian-led transition to democracy has begun. This remains our goal—and should be the goal of all nations of goodwill.
