Re: Global War on Terror III: Dick Cheney's Hague ICC Vacation

News reports have a State Dept. official killed in the attack on the Libyan consulate.

If we get a repeat of 1979, is the administration toast?

Of course not, it's all George W Bush's fault, Obama is blameless.

My favorite quote:

"We were surprised to see the big numbers show up including the soccer Ultra fans," he said. "I just want to say, how would the Americans feel if films insulting leading Christian figures like the pope or historical figures like Abraham Lincoln were produced?"

Context matters. Jesus saying it is fine. Me saying it while trespassing isn't.

Context, shmontext. I would think the exact same thing of ANYONE storming our embassy and tearing down our flag, regardless of whether he's screaming "Allahu Akbar" or reciting from the phone book. The speech is insignificant when compared with the action.

boiling pig fat will work just as well. Get it from a hot dog factory and hold it nearby all our ME embassies.

Re: Global War on Terror III: Dick Cheney's Hague ICC Vacation

Aside from the monstrosity we built in Iraq, our embassies aren't much more than glorified office buildings. It's not exactly a defensible fort with a brigade of marines, tanks and air power handy.

If they've got some boiling oil...

The movie itself looks like a herpa-derp dream:

And the cry of "Repel Boarders!", strangely absent in 1979, was not heard today either. That's US Sovereign Territory.

Not really any different than Jesus's saying, "I am the way and the truth and the light; no one comes to the father except by me." All of the major religions (exception Buddhism?) tend to be anti-all-other-religions.

"Only we're getting saved nya-nya" is just another form of tribalism.

The success of the United States is freedom of religion.

Statements like these, "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger," tend to be anti-freedom of religion. And tend to cause some sort of conflict.

I figured the Russian part of the map would just be "Frozen gibbering in terror".

Huh.

Getting there -- trust the English.....
