Updated at 6:15 a.m. ET: Protesters angry over an obscure film critical of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad stormed the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, Yemen, on Thursday, as unrest that led to the deaths of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya spread to other countries in the region.
Just what we need, a series of international incidents with a rank amateur at the helm. Gee, what could possibly go wrong???
Where the hell are our embassy guards?
what the f**k !
Weren't we supporting these same factions last year during the so called Arab Spring ?
isn't that always the way . we help the other guy then the other guy turns on us .Quote:

At least they didn't get inside in Yemen. At least we're running out of countries for this. good luck storming the embassy in Iraq, Jordan seems fairly quiet and the Saudies will keep a tight lid on unrest.
(yes I'm probably mangling some spelling)
This is what happens when they learned on the first two attempts that they apparently don't get shot in the face when they cross that wall.
Looks like the start of one helova ride.
One gets away with it everybody else is starting to jump in.
Keep that in mind. Chris Stevens was a friend to the Libyan resistance against Gaddafi. They murdered Chris anyway, there is no loyalty. They just used him to advance themselves and disposed of him when they were done.Quote:

BAGHDAD — A Shiite militant group is threatening U.S. interests in Iraq as part of the backlash over an anti-Islam film it has described as “heinous.”
So anyone want to get together for a bondfire? Might as well piss them off here as well. This will lead to more and more acts of terror here and abroad. Be safe and keep the heads on swivel.
Can you film me taking a shit on that before you throw it in the fire?
I say we encircle all US Embassies with Claymore mines. 3 deep and 3 tall.
Point them all at the Interior of the embassy wall, so if you are inside of the outer perimeter when it detonates, Allah will receive you.
If you are outside of the wall, you get to bear witness to what happens if you breach the wall.
It's not surprising that Yemen blew up. That country has been one of Obummer's playgrounds for drone warfare. He's let the Yemen government take credit but everybody knows it's the US. I believe they're called 'signature strikes'. Blow up a group of people looking suspicious. It's the best recruiting tool Al Quaeda has.
A few journalist braver than smart have gone into the backcountry there. People got real pissed off about family being blown up so most every place is flying the Al Quaeda black flag. Some of the more hardcore libertarian types like to talk about blowback but it isn't in the vocabulary of the Republicrats.

...The U.S. does a lot of things well, but learning from past mistakes with regard to foreign policy isn't one of them.
feels a little like 1979 again

And if this joke of an administration continues to do absolutely jack and/or shit about it, how long until they start thinking it's fair game on US everywhere?Quote:

Yeah, I get all my hard-hitting political & end-of-the-world apocalyptic information from Claire Danes too. [Tooth]Quote:

Enough Appeasement Already

I really like what he had to say- thanks for sharing that. It would seem too many in power over here just flat out don't get it. And I didn't know they condemned the film before the Cairo Embassy incident... That's just proof that appeasement doesn't do a lick of difference.Quote:

For some reason, embedding is above my pay grade. Not safe for anywhere really.
