#1 A couple of possibilities. Can't read a calendar? Or they see the US response as weak.

Egyptian-Iranian intelligence meeting prompts fears of a new Middle East terror axis


U.S. intelligence agencies recently monitored a secret meeting between Egypt’s intelligence chief and a senior Iranian spy that is raising new fears the Muslim Brotherhood government in Cairo could begin covertly supporting global terrorism.

According to U.S. officials, the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Maj. Gen. Murad Muwafi, met in early August with a senior official of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).

Disclosure of the Egyptian-Iranian intelligence meeting comes as the Obama administration is planning to provide $1 billion in aid to bail out Egypt’s new Islamist government. The administration is said to be seeking closer ties to the new regime in Cairo, following the ouster in February 2011 of long-time ally Hosni Mubarak.

#7 Gotcha Au Auric. These recent events come at a very inopportune time. Many of us are making prepartions for our return to Kepler-16b, packing, last minute arrangements and such.

#8 Wake up People ---- Don't you see it ?

The left is far too busy defending the ONE. They are more afraid of conservatives coming into power than islamists coming into power.

#10 I suspect they may have seen the film. It is pretty raunchy, amateurish, and provocative. Especially after Arabic dubbing. So much so that I would not be surprised to learn that it was a false flag op.

#16 Time to supply embassies with several miniguns, flamethrowers, and lots of ammunition.

#17 Time to pull out all of our embassies in the ME and wall off the area. Let them survive on their own without our money and imports.

Half of the dumb fucks will starve by Christmas.

#18 When you encourage something you get more of it and when you discourage something you get less of it.

The nutters attack the US embassies in Libya and Egypt. They get media coverage and get to look pius to their fanatical co-lunatics as they 'stick it' to the Americans. They pay no price personally. This is encouragement. Is anyone surprised that another embassy was attacked?

The embassy is sovergn US territory. Defend it. Start killing fanatics if they attack it, and not just a few of them. Open fire and don't stop until everyone is either dead or out of range. There are no innocents in a mob. Kill them all. This would be personal discouragment.

#19 Little correction. Embassies on foreign soil are not "sovereign territory" of the respective state occupying them.

It is just a territory that authorities (or anyone else) of the host state may not enter without permission of the chief of mission.

The host state technically still enjoys full sovereignty, also in legal matters happening inside the compound.

#20 agreed EC. It is not actual American Territory. It is land granted by the hosting government for diplomatic relations and practices, such as issuing Visas, and diplo functionc, Perhaps the distribution of foreign aid should be tied to our Diplo safety, i.e.: None

#21 Of course the host state MUST by any means assure absolute safety of embassies.

#22 MUST = when they feel like it. Apparently. Not a single cent of aid, visa cutoff, and tourism warnings

#23 Hmmm tourism warning against Libya? That should show 'em!
