Embassy Closures in the Middle East

Post by AiA in Atlanta » Mon Aug 05, 2013 8:26 am

Embassies and consulates of France, Germany, UK and USA are closed in various parts of the Middle East because of terrorists threats. Details aren't being released but it is said that al Qaeda communications have been intercepted and the measures taken in response are "unprecedented."

Must be pretty fucking big ...

Been aware of that here for at least the last 2 weeks...

Be interesting to see if anything actually happens.

Obama's enemies say the closures are a sign of weakness. Those fuckers just won't quit.

Yeah, AlQ always plays the "Ah ha! They must be weak!" card when we actually pay attention to them. It's that or they pull the "Oh, God, please stop shooting all those Hellfires at us! Drones suck!" card.
