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.

The question is, why weren't they already there? At one point in time every embassy in the world had a detachment of Marines guarding it. When and why did this change and why the heck isn't anyone asking this question?
Maybe they are just there to beef things up a bit. I would think that there would be marines already there also.
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.

The 9/11 “investigation” that finally took place was a political one run from the White House. One member of the commission resigned, declaring the investigation to be a farce, and both co-chairman and the legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission distanced themselves from their report with statements that the 9/11 Commission was “set up to fail,” that resources were withheld from the commission, that representatives of the US military lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for criminal prosecution. One would think that these revelations would cause a sensation, but the news media, Congress, the White House, and the public were silent. All of this bothered me a great deal. The US had invaded two Muslim countries based on unsubstantiated allegations linking the two countries to 9/11, which itself remained uninvestigated. The neoconservatives who staffed the George W. Bush regime were advocating more invasions of more Muslim countries. Paul O’Neill, President Bush’s first Treasury Secretary, stated publicly that the Bush regime was planning to invade Iraq prior to 9/11. O’Neill said that no one at a National Security Council meeting even asked the question, why invade Iraq? “It was all about finding a way to do it.” http://articles.cnn.com/2004-01-10/politics/oneill.bush_1_roomful-of-deaf-people-education-of-paul-o-neill-national-security-council-meeting?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS The leaked top secret Downing Street Memo written by the head of British intelligence (MI6) confirms Paul O’Neill’s testimony. The memo, known as the “smoking gun memo” whose authenticity has been confirmed, states that “President George W. Bush wants to remove Saddam Hussein, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.” In other words, the US invasion of Iraq was based on nothing but a made up lie.
We have yet to receive the Final NORAD timeline of 9/11. The one where their lies don't contradict each other.
What would winning be?
Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then we win.....;} LOL! That's funny!

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.

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. Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

Meanwhile, government financing is lavished without stint to promote every kind of war industry, and foreign investing by U.S. firms. The war priorities have depleted medical and education staffs. U.S. medical planning now includes programs to recruit large numbers of nurses from India. (3) Shortages of housing have caused a swelling of the homeless population in every major city. State and city governments across the country have become trained to bend to the needs of the military–giving automatic approvals to its spending without limit. The same officials cannot find money for affordable housing.
Of course the pervasive accounting fraud and routine swindling that drive the banking "industry" are abetted by the phantom government "policy" of the Federal Reserve, an institution that 99.999 percent of the American public could not explain under threat of water-boarding. The bottom line is political and economic leadership that can only pretend the economy works, and the destiny of such pretense is the death of legitimacy - meaning the public's faith in the system. Sooner or later either the public will revolt against such a system, or the system will just implode and leave the public floundering in a period of dreadful chaos. kunstler

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.
