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...
...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.

| #9 yeah, I'm-a-thinkin' that there may be some NATO fireworks scheduled for Sunday.... Posted by Uncle Phester Yep, the 'wag the dog' set up. Seems entirely plausible UP. As I look at the closure list, I would not rule either Iran or Syria. Note the lack of a ....return to work date. |

| #7 Cynical bastid that I am, I'd wager The Hildebeast is still calling the shots at State Not HRH, but I suspect the WH/NSC has its people ensconced at Foggy Bottom holding the reins, just as it does now in the Puzzle Palace. |

| #3 Apparently someone in the WH is now reading the Klingon daily briefings. Note the continued lack of comment [or apparent engagement] on the closings from the notional Secretary. Cynical bastid that I am, I'd wager The Hildebeast is still calling the shots at State. |

I've said or repor that China desires Guam-WESTPAC + Hawaii, as per various MilBlogs + Forums, but instead of Guam-WESTPAC first + Hawaii it appears an opportunity exists for China to also get Hawaii sooner than later due to excessive US Debt levels + related. Wehell, my bad, I'm certainly embarrased. |
