U.S. Marines are on the ground in Yemen to deal with the aftermath of an attack on the U.S. Embassy in the capital city of Sanaa, as the Obama administration warns of sustained protests outside diplomatic posts across the Middle East and North Africa. Pentagon spokesman George Little told Fox News the team is in Yemen as a "precautionary measure." The move comes as Reuters reports that protesters have jumped over U.S. Embassy walls in both Sudan and Tunisia. Reuters reports that protesters also set fire to trees and broke windows inside the U.S. Embassy compound in Tunis. That is just a snapshot of the violent unrest playing out Friday, in the widest protests yet across the Muslim world. One protester was killed in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli in clashes with security forces, after a crowd of protesters set fire to a KFC and an Arby's restaurant. Protesters hurled stones and glass at police in a furious melee that left 25 people wounded, 18 of them police. Security forces in Egypt and Yemen fired tear gas and clashed with protesters to keep them away from U.S. embassies. And Germany's Foreign Minister says the country's embassy in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum has been stormed by protesters and set partially on fire. The intense demonstrations, purportedly by people upset over an anti-Islam film, follow warnings by the State Department that the protests could spread across the region. The department, on its Twitter account, cautioned Thursday of sustained protests in Egypt, Oman and Jordan, among other places. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI also issued a joint intelligence bulletin warning that the violent outrage aimed at U.S. embassies could be spread to America by extremist groups. In a statement to Fox News, a DHS official said that there is no specific, credible information at this time to indicate that the attacks have increased the threat of violent reaction in the U.S., but it will continue to identify potential threats and take appropriate measures. Four Americans were killed in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday. A Marine unit was dispatched earlier in the week to Tripoli, to help fortify the U.S. Embassy there in the wake of the attack in the eastern part of the country.

You want to stop this? Get a little birdie to whisper into the ear of the local religious leaders that they and their whole freaking families will disappear from the face of the earth if the attacks keep happening. In the meantime,fly in tubs of pig grease and grease the embassy walls with it and spray the ground around it with pig urine. You might even "accidentially" manage to have some of the pig urine leak onto a mosque roof from a passing helicopter. Not that Obummer or Rombama are capable of doing this.
WTF you think our prisons, Gitmo, Bagram are all about? [img]66.70.86.64/ChartServer/c...age,,&Unit=US%20$/G[/img] We're at the top. Above $4 gas might as well be $10 for all the Infrstrcuture can afford it.
You and I obviously have different ideas about what getting serious means. BTW,how many clerics from Saudi Arabia,Egypt,Pakistan,Iran,etc,etc,etc are in Gitmo? How may Arab princes are there? The correct answer is "none". They are all foot soldiers,not leadership. You don't win wars by taking foot soldiers out of play. You HAVE to go after the leadership.
You don't win by torture, false flags, destroying treaties, Conventions.... you only get tyranny Empire....for a little while....;} Remember the Colin Powell Doctrine? Neither does he....;}
How would you know? You've not only never been in a war,but you aren't even sure what planet you are living on.
At first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then we win.....;}

It's a quote from Gandhi that many seem to think is quite insightful especially in regards to those who are on the receiving end of the empirebuilders.
He ain't no Ghandi, and neither are you... your mileage may vary.
But that's the thing about History, Hondo. It don't matter who spouts the cliches and myths, The Philosophies and History of the Bottom 99%. They're no less true as they've stood the test of time....;}
After Ghandi, there's still a 1% in India. Some of the names may change, but they ain't going away. The good news... your class warfare BS can go on forever, even if you're 100% successful. You can always blame the wealth spread failure on not being a "pure enough" implementation of Marxism. That can definitely go on forever, especially if your collectivist dream government is based on "democracy", in which the majority will always vote for their own interests over those of the minority. Thus is human nature.
But the British Empire/The East India Company is no longer there....;}
What do you have in India when you remover the British influence? The answer is,"Just another 3rd world shithole.
The answer is,"Just another 3rd world shithole. The British were just over there to impose capitalism on the masses for the benfit of the British empire. This is what always happens when a country is sucked dry by another and then left to it's own devices.
Yeah,they brought civilization,health care,clean water,and jobs. The FIENDS!
"The British were just over there to impose capitalism on the masses for the benfit of the British empire." "Yeah,they brought civilization,health care,clean water,and jobs. The FIENDS!" I'm not saying it's right, if it's not what the people want, but look where South Africans put themselves when they decided to rule themselves. No jobs, no homes, no food, no property..murder, massacres, poverty... So the dumbasses in this nation decided to do the same thing and elect themselves a kunta kente wanna-be with the mindset of Mugabe, aren't we the smart ones? Sheesh...
