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.

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.

" The impending end of our modern way of life is unlikely to come tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or even within the next few years, but the long term trends could not be more obvious or unavoidable. And while at this late date it might still be theoretically possible with the remaining reserves of fossil fuels available for mankind to manage a powering down in such a way that avoids a world wide calamity and mass die off, that would assume a collective wisdom and willingness to participate in shared sacrifice that sadly our species just does not seem to possess. As long as there are sociopaths who strive for dominance--and they seem to have taken over a vast majority of the leadership positions in the world today--there is no chance of awakening the mass consciousness before it is too late."

Reports initially said that by the time anyone got to him, Stevens had died from smoke inhalation. But a group of people reportedly pulled Stevens from the room in the burning consulate building, saw he was still breathing and brought him to a hospital. He was breathing and his eyelids flickered, one witness said. “I tested his pulse and he was alive,” he said “No doubt. His face was blackened and he was like a paralyzed person.” Photographs of Stevens’ seemingly lifeless body were taken, but one man present took a video of the Libyans carrying Stevens struggling body to the hospital.
Only because a live Ambassador is a VERY valuable hostage,and a dead one is nothing more than rapidly cooling meat. They killed the 3 guards with him.
They killed the 3 guards with him. You're making this a habit now, sp. To Totally miss the point.

You really are insane. In Vietnam, one of the key indicators that the war was effectively over for the ... army can no longer engage in military operations or even conduct training exercises with their supposed local "allies" the ... This is just one example. That quote was about the war against your homies in Afghanistan,not VN. The US Army and the USMC both worked with and went on operations with the SVN army the whole time they were there. This ONLY stopped when your communist idols in the US House voted to defund the war to force the pullout of US troops,and then broke their promises to the SVN government by cutting back on all foreign aid to SVN to insure a communist victory. The SVN army was no longer receiving fuel,ammunition,medical care,money to pay troop salaries,or food that would enable them to keep fighting,while your communist pals in the north continued to receive massive amounts of money,weapons,and other aid from the Soviet Union and China.
All I need. When the Troops statred Fragging, the War was over. Not because of Hippies on the Mainland. But you missed that as well....;} But that helo leaving from the roof of the US Embassy was just one example... We coulda nuked 'em and still won......LMFAO....keep comin', SP.

But that helo leaving from the roof of the US Embassy was just one example... More proof you are a idiot. US combat troops had already been out of VN for 2 years when that happened,and it happened because your communist friends in the House cut off all military aid to SVN. We coulda nuked 'em and still won......LMFAO....keep comin', SP. And more proof you are a liar by implying I wrote that/
