I completely miss your point about why having Islamic ties (which I don't think he has; I'm pretty sure an American president would want to support American industry and that he buys American ties) has anything to do with this??? Also, do you mean "Islamic" or "Islamist", as they are two widely different things?

I would hazard it's a case of "they were defending us and now someone killed them". Maybe. It's obviously awful when anyone is killed but I think it hurts a little more when servicemen are killed, not in combat, but where they should be able to assume they would be safe.
