U.S. to 'Close an Unspecified Number of Embassies Around the World' Due to 'Security Concerns'
HT: Drudge. Well, since Cmdr. Zero has done such an AWESOME job of bringing the world together , the problem must emanate from The International Organization of Tea Parties...
Seen on Facebook, a comment from a man who recently moved back from Egypt: The last time we closed our embassies like that, the Benghazi attack happened.

Update: Ynet adds:
US embassies that would normally be open this Sunday - including those in Israel, Abu Dhabi, Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
 and Cairo - will be closed that day because of unspecified security concerns, the US State Department said on Thursday.

CBS News said US embassies would also be closed in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, Yemen, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

CBS News reported that the embassy closings were tied to US intelligence about an al-Qaeda plot against US diplomatic posts in the Middle East and other Mohammedan countries. CBS said the intelligence did not mention a specific location.
It appears State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf found her misplaced list. Go carefully out there, people.
