Also, is anyone in the US talking about the stabbing thing? Not gonna lie. That's disconcerting.

Well, consider it a preview for the Facebook thread. That American was stabbed by a the MB that Obama is funding.

We're still not completely over Benghazi, but that would be a real godsend considering how this IRS/IG/Issa think going.

[felix rex]

Welp, this is two blocks away now:

[Tobias]

Oh man. Here is an actual text exchange with me bro this evening:


Me: So, the embassy is about to announce an evacuation. It's optional and it's nothing but a political CYA from DC, which means we don't care but it will probably be all over the news back home soon.

Bro: But, what will Darrell Issa do with himself in 3 mos if there's not some sort of incident?!

Me: I won't google it and bullshit you. I don't know who that is.

Bro: Oh, he's Republican legislator fanning fake furor over Benghazi, IRS, 2 Fast 2 Furious, et al...

Bro: Just being cheeky. Be careful, hope it's much ado about nothing

Me: I think it'll be crazy downtown for a few days or a week, but we're just gonna ride it out in our suburb.

Bro: Good. I haven't talked to mom yet. Told dad, he just said, Good, you can tell your mother then...

Me: Uh oh. Make sure mom knows Alexandria is a long ways away.

FR I don't understand the thought process of the Egyptians. This guy was voted into office and now they are holding a giant protest telling him to leave office. either I'm missing something or there is a real misunderstanding of how democracy works. They can vote him out when his term is up right?

[felix rex]

either I'm missing something or there is a real misunderstanding of how democracy works.

No, you pretty much have it. Both sides are really new at democracy and pretty much suck at it.

have you tried clams' idea about having them all chill?

[sonofdaxjones]

One thing for sure, I am pleased that the World's Largest Arms Dealer, Barack Obama is outfitting the Egyptian Military with some the best U.S. built weaponary available.

 

Nothing can put an end to those pesky protests like a couple of Cluster Bombs from a U.S. built F-16, or an anti personnel round from a U.S. Built M1 Abrams Tank.

The Obama Administration:  We'll make an end run around Congress and arm Middle Eastern governments at the slightest hint that they're moving towards a democracy . . . or are hardcore Theocratic Dictatorships that say they are our friend.

 

It's only Freedom Fighting, if they're for 'merica . . . or American hegemonic interests.

we should send 'clams over there to teach them how

Remember when Bush was President and all you could talk about was your butthurt about Clinton bombing your bros in Srebrenica?  Good grief you sound like me when I read Chomsky and found a definition of "realpolitick" for the first time.

Apparently you don't like the reality of the message.   Sorry bro . . .  If you're a fan of Zbig and PNAC, the Yugoslavia move by Clinton was brilliant.  Neutralize a county aligned with Russia, provide economic assistance, wait awhile, they apply for entry into NATO.

Yes. And I live right next to the American school!

When I woke up, I mistakenly thought today was gameday and was getting mad about all the news channels showing Zimmerman's fat face.

I still haven't got confirmation, but the real action isn't happening until Sunday and I don't want to scare them off.

I will be on my couch watching on 3 TVs while describing the action live on The Ed Show.
