Were you feeling a little unsatisfied, because America is only fighting major wars right now against Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Libya? Time to be fulfilled: Your U.S. military is also now having a war in Yemen. “Secretly,” haha. From the New York Times, ugh: WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has intensified the American covert war [...]
The United States, which long supported Yemen’s president, even in the face of recent widespread protests, has now quietly shifted positions and has concluded that he is unlikely to bring about the required reforms and must be eased out of office, according to American and Yemeni officials. The Obama administration had maintained its support of [...]
The bloodshed seems to be halted in Libya today, hooray for the UN no-fly/no-massacre resolution, but some of the other many Arab Uprisings are still going terribly today: “Syrian security forces dispersed protesters in two towns Friday, state media reported in the first official word of what appeared to be the gravest unrest in years [...]
Egyptian military leaders say they are dissolving the pro-Mubarak parliament and suspending the constitution, with the intention (allegedly) of holding elections within the next two months. Military police are still trying to mop up the remaining protesters in Tahrir Square, and banks are closed until Wednesday due to protests by National Bank workers, so basically [...]
After a long night of partying in Las Vegas with the CEO of Twitter (what?), Arianna Huffington boarded a plane to New York and then immediately began to play Angry Birds on her BlackBerry, which is not only rude but also against the law. (Arianna eventually turned off her dumb phone when asked nicely by [...]
That parcel-terror plot apparently involved explosives being mailed to a couple of Chicago synagogues. You know, because Chicago synagogues are very much responsible for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and whatever else (everything) now included in the War Upon the Terror. President Obama says he’s “very concerned” and will “keep using robot death drones to [...]
Again, the background cannot be reiterated too many times: on Jeebus’ birthday, a rich 23-year-old Nigerian dipshit loosely affiliated with The Terrorists attached a dime-bag of firecrackers to his boner, held snug by a dirty skid-marked tighty whity diaper apparatus. He tried to blow up his magical cockbomb on an airplane over Detroit and failed [...]
The US Embassy in Yemen is open again, following two days of evidence suggesting that al-Qaeda was going to blow it up and the Yemeni government suggesting the opposite of this. [AP] Last week’s suicide bomber, the one who killed seven CIA people in Afghanistan, was actually a Jordanian double-agent. [Washington Post] Meet Ali Abdullah [...]
GAHHH, trying to find the funny news, but everything today is just about the American Empire transparently destroying itself. Which is funny! Humor has come full circle, maybe. Like what is this?: “‘The president is very confident that this government is taking the steps that are necessary to take — to take our fight to [...]
WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN. So we’re going to begin to lose a full-scale underfunded, undermanned War on Yemen very soon. Probably around Martin Luther King Day; that should provide enough time to load the RV. But this is going to happen. This is America, remember? Of 9/11 fame? And a hilarious “War on Yemen” sounds [...]
