US Embassy in Yemen Attacked

There was a shooting attack today at a checkpoint near the US embassy in Yemen: Yemen: Gunshots fired near US embassy.

SAN’A, Yemen – Gunmen in a car exchanged fire Monday with police at a checkpoint near the U.S. Embassy in Yemen’s capital, an Interior Ministry official said, hours after the embassy received threats of a possible attack.

No one was injured and the two gunmen fled the scene, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not permitted to have his name made public. He said three suspects in the area were detained.

It was not clear who was behind the shooting, but al-Qaida has for years maintained a strong presence in the country, the ancestral homeland of Osama bin Laden.

This immediately follows the news that two ex-Guantanamo inmates returned to work for Al Qaeda in Yemen.

And Yemen’s about to welcome 94 more Gitmo detainees soon—but don’t worry, the Yemeni government has “vowed” they won’t return to terrorism.

SANAA: Yemen said yesterday it expected the repatriation soon of 94 Yemenis held at the US Guantanamo Bay prison camp, and vowed it would make sure they did not rejoin the ranks of Islamic militants.

I've been a little disturbed about all the "stock up on guns and ammo" comments on other threads, since I'm nervous about any "revolution" attitudes.

A short time into O's tenure, and maybe I'm going to reconsider. His responses may result in non-American targets on our streets.

But, I hope not.

re: #34 capitalist piglet

Am I the only one who feels like an orderly being held in an asylum that has been overtaken by its patient population? The Left has a death wish.

Not really. Most of the hardcore liberals I know honestly believe (or at least have convinced themselves) that the jihadists, etc., argument is not with them- it's with those never-to-be-sufficiently-damned neocons, jingoists, militarists, etc. Leftists believe that they represent the "real America", and that once they have turned it into a "more reasonable and egalitarian, Gaia-loving" nation, our enemies will not only embrace them as brothers and sisters, but will acknowledge their superior wisdom, turn control of the entire world over to them, and heed their every command. Their "logic" is that the "others" (not being the product of Enlightened Western Liberal Upper-Class culture) are too stupid to run the world- but just smart enough to recognize the American liberals' undeniable "fitness to rule".

As someone long ago trained in abnormal and criminal psychology, I refer to this mindset as the Manson Syndrome. (Read Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry to see why.)

As for the leftist belief that our society is so fundamentally flawed that it must be abolished so they can build a Utopia on the ruins thereof, I call this the Nomad Syndrome- after the Original Series Star Trek episode, "The Changeling".

/Yes, I do believe these people need professional help- assuming, that is, you can find a non-moonbat to do the work.

Former President Jimmy Carter says that Israel will face a "catastrophe" unless it revives the Mideast peace process and establishes an independent Palestinian state.

Carter pointed out in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday that Arabs will outnumber Jews in the Holy Land in the foreseeable future.

"If we look toward a one-state solution, which seems to be the trend, I hope not inexorable, it would be a catastrophe for Israel," Carter said.

Such a situation would mean Israel would have to expel many Palestinians, or keep them but deprive them of equal voting rights, or give them equal voting rights, which would give the Palestinians a majority. "And you would no longer have a Jewish state," Carter said.

So "closing Gitmo" is symbolism.

Absolutely, purely symbolism.

It is a way to look like he is doing something for all those here (and all his European fans) who see Gitmo as some sort of evil concentration camp. The reality will just move elsewhere. Some of the less important will be trucked off to Europe or somewhere. The ones we end up keeping may end up worse off—who knows once the media forgets them, as they will because BHO took care of the situation.

don't think much of their use of certain words either. When a person, comedian or otherwise can't assemble a simple sentence without being liberally laced with profanity, they can get someone else to listen to them. I won't. If they can't achieve humor without resorting to profanity, perhaps they really aren't the comedians they think they are. Used very sparingly, profanity has it's uses... and times to use them.

No one said it was absolutely fine to use it - I said that I did not think that it was over the top in the circumstances - and certain lizards agreed.

This ain't your site either - and your "friendly suggestion" is nothing more than excessive sarcasm - which is not at all appreciated.

And I completely fail to see how calling someone the C-word is anywhere near calling someone the N-word - one is an admittedly vulgar reference to a part of the female anatomy, and one is a racist term. And in case you didn't notice - it was not directed at anyone - it was a quote of a dirty joke from a comedian who was often the epitome of free speech

But have it your way - goodbye and enjoy yourselves - I will apologize to the lizards who think that my use of the term in "code" was inappropriate, and for causing this thread to go sideways into something different.

They say "extreme" but I do want to point them to the definition of maximum.

I used to work for a company that had employees in the job I was doing working to meet certain quotas. I think the best possible was 115%. If you averaged less than 80% for two weeks you would be written up. Three write ups and you were fired. They always were trying to make it sound like a big deal when someone made 105% or something. I myself aimed at getting 85 - 90%. I figured if I was doing more, I was giving them free work; if I did less, I might get fired.

"Salty" language is one thing; insulting/demeaning language is another. The correct response when one has inadvertently offended someone with his or her choice of words is NOT, "Get over it" but "I'm sorry; I meant nothing personal."

Good for you! I did the same thing on 1/3/86. Had to change my whole lifestyle. Completely dropped out/changed cities/jobs/no contact with friends or contacts for one year! I don't think I'd have the track record if our positions were exchanged. My hat's off to you!

This is going to sound like bullcrap, but I wasn't an alcoholic, no where near it, I can show you the results from my doctors.

But the real problem was I was just drinking way to much and it was affecting my health. I could barely walk at the age of 52, I was pushing 400 pounds, and all kinds of health problems.

So I stopped. Quit smoking cold this past Aug. 2008.

I've been trying to catch up on the comments.

"Salty" language is one thing; insulting/demeaning language is another. The correct response when one has inadvertently offended someone with his or her choice of words is NOT, "Get over it" but "I'm sorry; I meant nothing personal."

Surely our community is more important than insisting on limiting ourselves to vulgarities, especially when our host, Charles, specifically states that avoid certain terms.

How can say this with out offending you?

President Obama Does First Formal TV Interview as President with Al-Arabiya
As special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell heads off to the region to begin work on negotiating a cease fire between Israel and the Palestinians, President Obama has sat for his first formal TV interview with the Arabic cable TV network Al-Arabiya, ABC News has learned.

The interview was taped this evening and is set to air at 11 pm ET, as Mitchell is in the air and on his way to the region.

Based in Dubai, Al-Arabiya estimates that it has a potential audience exceeding 23 million in the Gulf region.

Depends on the farm or source. I can get it from the store for a couple bucks, or go to the organic farm and get it for 7 bucks. Or I could don a ski mask and sneak into the farm down the road and milk a cow in the dark for free. And of course there is the government method. I could walk in to the dairy farm, tell them I work for the government and that I want to help, take all the milk that I want, and then charge the dairy farm for the milk I take.

If you are going to address the Arab world, better to pick the more moderate network.

You are kidding, right?

Or are we talking about relative applications of moderate as in "being vaporized by a plutonium bomb is moderately better than being vaporized by a hydrogen bomb"?

Al Arabiya has been happy to broadcast beheading films from Al Qaeda, has been happy to glorify suicide murderers in Israel and Iraq and has taken every opportunity to work against the liberation of the Iraqi and Afghani people just as Al Jazeera has.

They have no interest whatsoever in seeing the region democratized. But neither does Obama - maybe they will have a nice chat.

On Sunday afternoon Weekly Standard editor and New York Times columnist Bill Kristol — in an email exchange with Big Hollywood — agreed to debate Matt Damon on his Hollywood home turf after being informed the 38-year old actor ridiculed Kristol in an interview in the Miami Herald.

“He’s an idiot — he wrote that we should be grateful to George Bush because he won the Iraq war. We! Won! The! War!”

As the sponsor of the event, Big Hollywood is offering $100,000 to Damon (or to the charity or carbon credit of his choice) to publicly debate Kristol at a mutually agreed upon time, date and venue.

You are kidding, right?

Or are we talking about relative applications of moderate as in "being vaporized by a plutonium bomb is moderately better than being vaporized by a hydrogen bomb"?

Al Arabiya has been happy to broadcast beheading films from Al Qaeda, has been happy to glorify suicide murderers in Israel and Iraq and has taken every opportunity to work against the liberation of the Iraqi and Afghani people just as Al Jazeera has.

They have no interest whatsoever in seeing the region democratized. But neither does Obama - maybe they will have a nice chat.

Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to LGF search, where you can see many examples that Charles has posted.


Look it is what it is, the Bush administration had staffers on Al Jezzera to try and get our side out. No Arab network is Fox TV, but Al Arabya is the more moderate and I use the term loosely. I suspect Obama will also put representatives on Al Jezzera just as Bush did. We'd both wish the Arab world watched MTV, but we have no choice.

Subject: STIMULUS PAYMENT

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment which is explained here, using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From the taxpayers. Don't worry -- it's freshly printed.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen. They're doing the best they can.

Q. What if I spend that money at Wal-Mart?
A. All of it will go to China.

Q. What if that money goes towards buying a reliable automobile?
A. Unless it's a used car, the money will probably go to Japan, Korea or Germany.

Q. What if I just use it for gasoline for my cars?
A. Most of it will probably go to the Arabs.

Q. What if I use it to purchase a new computer?
A. Most of it will go to India, Indonesia, Japan or South Korea.

Q. What if I use it to purchase fruit and vegetables?
A. Most of it will go to Central or South America, unless you buy organic.

Q. What if I just use it to purchase useless crap?
A. It will probably go to Taiwan.

Q. How can we keep that money here in America?
A. Follow the proven example set by rednecks.

Q. --And what might that be?
A. Yard sales, ball games, domestic beer, hot dogs, popcorn, soda pop, tattoos, prostitutes, and used pickup trucks and boats.

Q. How does a redneck maximize his stimulus payment?
A. First warm things up by picking up a good ol' girl in your new/used pick-em-up truck. Take her to a few garage sales and offer to buy her some new/used suitcases and lipsticks, and such.

Get a couple of sixpacks of domestic beer, take her to a ball game, and stuff her with hot dogs, popcorn, soda pop and a few beers. After that, give her a tat for a present and she'll be in a proper frame of mind for a little friendly negotiation, regarding an equitable disbursement of the balance of your Stimulus Payment.

It's the Patriotic thing to do...

ICELAND ECONOMY COLLAPSES

(Article from the Wall Street Journal)

Iceland's PM Geir Harrde hands in his resignation after the island's economic collapse.

THE global financial crisis claimed its second European government overnight, as Iceland's coalition leadership collapsed.

Iceland’s Government fell only days after its Prime Minister called for early elections amid popular anger over a financial crisis that has gutted a once-flourishing economy.

Speaking overnight, Prime Minister Geir Haarde announced that he and his Cabinet would resign immediately. The move came after his Independence Party failed to come to terms with the Social Democrats, its main partner in Iceland's coalition Government.

Mr Haarde was due to present his resignation to Iceland's President.

The country becomes the second European nation to lose its government in the global crisis - Belgium's Cabinet resigned last month after a scandal involving aid to a fallen bank.

But Iceland is perhaps the world's hardest hit amid the crisis. Last fall, three big banks - virtually the entire banking system - collapsed, and the island's currency went into freefall.

Black holes from the LHC could survive for minutes

One potential method of destruction is that the LHC will create tiny black holes that could swallow everything in their path including the planet. In 2002, Roberto Casadio at the Universita di Bologna in Italy and a few pals reassured the world that this was not possible because the black holes would decay before they got the chance to do any damage.

Now they’re not so sure. The question is not simply how quickly a mini-black hole decays but whether this decay always outpaces any growth.

Casadio have reworked the figures and now say that: ” the growth of black holes to catastrophic size does not seem possible.”

Does not seem possible? That’s not the unequivocal reassurance that particle physicists have been giving us up till now.

Uhhh, oops?

Look it is what it is, the Bush administration had staffers on Al Jezzera to try and get our side out. No Arab network is Fox TV, but Al Arabya is the more moderate and I use the term loosely. I suspect Obama will also put representatives on Al Jezzera just as Bush did. We'd both wish the Arab world watched MTV, but we have no choice.

I suppose you mean well, but we don't see this the same way at all.

Behind your argument is a pre-assumption - that we can win over "the Arab World."

News Flash - there is only one full democracy in the Arab worl. It is named "IRAQ". Talking to the "Arab World" means having what you said distorted, manipulated and reframed by the powers that run the "Arab World" and have absolutely no interest whatsoever in having democracies take shape there.

They started their cable networks because CNN was starting to get the populations uppity. So they get a slate of Arab language stations put in place that report "news" and reframe it to reinforce and exacerbate every prejudice and hatred that their culture harbors.

When you stupidly go on those networks (and Bush was stupid to go on them too chanting "Religion of Peace") then you simply subject the image of the United States to be reshaped by the oppressive oil ticks and their bloodlusting cleric minions for the purpose of reinforcing hatred.

When we fought the cold war we knew better to hand the USSR propaganda victories. Instead we subverted the overlords with Radio Free Europe. And when we tried to do it in the Arab World, "progressives" went bezerk calling it "propaganda."

That is where you and I see this on fundamentally different terms.

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

I don't think talking to the Arab world will make us have a group hug, but perhaps, just perhaps, getting our side out might reduce the hated a by a fraction. I agreed when Bush tried, and agree that we should too under Obama. I don't see a big down side for at least trying. I agree completely that we can't assume we are dealing with a culture that shares our ideals, nor that it will necessarily have any real impact.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this action by Obama is not for Arab consumption.

It is for yours.

It makes you and others that follow him feel good. And he knows that.

You used the term "intractable" earlier. By definition, an intractable situation is one that you fence off and don't earnestly deal with unless you feel compelled to. Bush felt compelled to by 9/11 (before that he was an isolationist and was against even having troops in Kosovo). Obama does not feel compelled to do anything in the Middle East except bail on Iraq, kill some Taliban in Afghanistan to make a good show of things and bail there too. He knows these are generational problems and he doesn't want his legacy trapped by a generational problem (like GWB, who didn't give a shit about legacy).

This is an ego trip, and the Middle East is not where Obama will make his mark. He knows this. You and his followers don't know it yet.

We can still stay in NATO. If the Europeans complain, we can tell them they might want to actually increase their defense spending given that, as a group, they have cut defense expeditures steadily since 9/11. And their economies get a free ride as a result.

From his website:

SENATOR JUDD GREGG: CONFIRMATION OF GEITHNER NECESSARY TO HELP US WEATHER FINANCIAL CRISIS

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) today commented on the confirmation of Timothy Geithner as the new Secretary of the Treasury. The Senate confirmed this nomination by a vote of 60 to 34.

Senator Gregg stated, “The United States is facing one of the most significant financial crises in the history of our country, and it is important that we have someone serving as Treasury Secretary who understands how serious the risks are and is committed to helping hardworking Americans, retirees, and businesses during these challenging times. I recognize some of the concerns about Mr. Geithner’s actions in the past, but it is clear that he has the qualifications and experience to fill this role.

To be fair, embassies were attacked under Bush's tenure, as well. Indeed, this very embassy was attacked on September 17, 2008. In the end, there were nineteen dead and sixteen injured. Stands in stark contrast to the zero dead and zero injured in this attack.

Americans may yet die under Obama's leadership, but, to my knowledge, that hasn't happened, yet. As the saying goes, I guess, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Bush didn't really get "a transition". The recount(s,s,s) dragged on until Christmas, during which time Clinton refused to let a transition team in.

And from what I've read, Bush should be given the credit for this transition. He invited transition teams and began providing briefings within 72 hours after the election.

re: #257 David IV of Georgia

Anchovies are one of those ingredients that are best when you can't tell the food has anchovies in it.

And on that note, I strongly encourage lizards to try using anchovies in cooking! First, get yourself a little jar or tin of anchovy fillets in olive oil. Then, the next time you're making ANY dish where the recipe starts out with: "Saute finely chopped onions and garlic in hot oil," add one or two strips of anchovy to the onion and garlic, and use a wooden spoon to break up the anchovy fillets. With just a little stirring, the anchovy will practically dissolve in the hot oil, and I can almost guarantee that you won't be able to detect any "fishiness" in the finished recipe. What the anchovies DO add, instead of fishiness, is umami -- a Japanese term for the basic flavor that is also described as "savory," "brothy," "meaty," etc.

If you're skeptical, check the ingredients on a bottle of Worcestershire sauce -- anchovies are key! As an alternative to "solid" anchovies, you can also try Asian fish sauce, which is basically "anchovy juice."

As someone who grew up knowing anchovies only as a nasty-ass pizza topping, I was eventually introduced to the culinary possibilities of these wee fishies by a high school Latin teacher, who recreated an ancient Roman recipe for marinated chicken using the Asian fish sauce as a substitute for garum.

Obama in over his head? What do you expect from a guy who hasn't even managed something as simple as a hot dog stand?

It's nice to see that Obama's new anti-terror policies are really working.

Anti-terrorist policies of hope and change...for terrorists, that is!

I suddenly feel safer...how about you?

Convicted Islamic Terrorist Scheduled For Release from NY Prison
In 1973, a young terrorist named Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary entered the United States and quickly began plotting an audacious attack in New York City.
