What in the world is our administration thinking? Now we're closing embassies and consulates in 19 Muslim cities for the entire week! We have admitted defeat. How can we be looked upon as a strong broker in the Israeli/Palestinian peace talks? Our enemies are laughing at us tonight.
US posts in Muslim world will remain closed
Yes but not for the reasons you're thinking about.
Those of us who consider US foreign policy to be a blight on the world are laughing because so many Americans actually believe this horse crap they put out as a credible threat.
The news today explains, quoting a leak as source, it was uncovered by America's computer spying network.
BBC News - Al-Qaeda leaders' talks 'sparked US embassy closures'
Even assuming the story has even the slightest bit of truth in it, I can see the conversation.
Ayman al-Zawahiri - Mate, let's scare the crap out of the Yanks
His mate - What the **** are you going to do?
Ayman al-Zawahiri - Just answer your phone and play along. The Yanks are too ******* stupid to work this one out.

Ayman al-Zawahiri - Now then, brother, we're going to set up mass bombings of American targets in the middle east.
His mate - You're shitting me; we're about to do the same all over Asia.
Ayman al-Zawahiri - Well, **** me, we've got 20 suicide bombers and we're going to fly small planes, packed with explosives into American military targets, we're hoping to sink an aircraft carrier off Egypt.
His mate - Talk about great minds think alike but we also have explosive packed elephants in Thailand to destroy one of the great Satan's warships. We've fitted them with wheels so they can be pushed off the docks easily.
Ayman al-Zawahiri - Merry **** - that's classic but we've got suicide camels, rigged with explosive that'll spit at the evil satanic American dogs before they blow in in McD, Jerusalem.
His mate - Well bugger me with a large rubber dildo, I'd never have thought of that one but we have the palm trees in the US embassy, KL, Malaysia rigged with explosive coconuts. It took ages to get the GM trees in place but they're ready now and we'll attack the last day of Ramadan.
Ayman al-Zawahiri - Look, we'd better hang up now in case the evil American dogs trace the call.
Mate - ok, see you after we destroy America.
Hangs up.

yman al-Zawahiri - That was a laugh; but do you think the ******* idiots will fall for the elephant thing?
