Russians: "Told You So"
« on: September 13, 2012, 08:02:27 PM »
I can't really disagree with the Russians on this one.

Quote
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Margelov said that passions had been stoked by the uprisings and that they “splash out in the form of terrorist acts or massacres of nonbelievers or an attack on embassies and consulates.”

“The frequency of these outbursts, unfortunately, has been growing since the ‘Arab Spring’ brought to power political groups of Islamic orientation, either open or indirect,” Mr. Margelov said, in comments to the Interfax news agency. A telegram from Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov to Mrs. Clinton condemned the attack as a crime, and said “it confirms once again the necessity of combining the forces of our countries and the whole international community to fight with the evil of terrorism.”

But many commentators were far less diplomatic, especially on social media. The first commentaries on Twitter were bitingly sarcastic — “The democratized residents of Libya thanked the staff of the American Embassy for its support,” one read. Another read, “This is what you call exporting democracy, it seems. America gives Libya a revolution, and Libyans, in return, kill the ambassador.” Aleksei K. Pushkov, the head of Russia’s parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, wrote via Twitter: “Under Qaddafi they didn’t kill diplomats. Obama and Clinton are in shock? What did they expect – ‘Democracy?’ Even bigger surprises await them in Syria.”

Yevgeny Y. Satanovsky, president of the Institute of the Middle East in Moscow, said American leaders should not expect “one word of sympathy” from their Russian counterparts.

“It is a tragedy to the family of the poor ambassador, but his blood is on the hands of Hillary Clinton personally and Barack Obama personally,” Mr. Satanovsky said. He said Russian warnings against intervention in the Middle East came from the bitter experience of the Soviets in Afghanistan.

“You are the Soviet Union now, guys, and you pay the price,” he said. “You are trying to distribute democracy the way we tried to distribute socialism. You do it the Western way. They hate both.” He said dictators were preferable to the constellation of armed forces that emerges when they are unseated.

“They lynched Qaddafi — do you really think they will be thankful to you?” he said. “They use stupid white people from a big rich and stupid country which they really hate.”

The bolded portion, that's Western liberals to a tee.

Me either.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

Look for them to blame Bush or the Tea Party.

US-Backed Syrian "Opposition" Burn American Flag in Aleppo and Chant Anti-American Slogans


Amid Islamic chants for the prophet Muhammad, US-backed Syrian opposition members burn the American flag after the Muhammad movie short version came out on YouTube.

These are the people Johnny Mac wants to give our blood and treasure to.

I'd love to market a flag to the middle east market. Knowing that the sub-humans just can't help themselves but to attempt to recreate the famous Francis Scott Key moment my flags would feature magnesium woven into the body. That would give them a Kodak moment.

I love that idea. Can C4 be made into a fibrous form? I know it's one of those pressure sensitive compounds. Under no pressure, it just burns, but then when your magnesium gets out of control they try to stomp it out like a burning sh*t-bag left on someone's front porch. Then they stomp on the burning plastique and kaboom it.

Please tell me we'll mix some phosphorus in as well!  Perhaps part of the ink comprising the color.   ::whoohoo::
