US says sends warship off coast of Lebanon
Are you fucking kidding me? The greatest country in the world you say?
Hey, Rome was the greatest empire in the world. Hm. Look at them now, in a museum.
Notice how neatly any evidence for their intelligence was destroyed.

Behind closed doors, however, Vice President Dick Cheney and other hawkish members of the administration have made the case that the same intelligence that prompted Israel to attack should lead the United States to reconsider delicate negotiations with North Korea over ending its nuclear program, as well as America’s diplomatic strategy toward Syria, which has been invited to join Middle East peace talks in Annapolis, Md., next month.
This is an article about the bombing that Israel recently did of an alleged nuclear site in Syria. They cite ’secret’ intelligence. They say North Korea sent it in. Sabres are rattling, but for what purpose? We attack other countries and then use those attacks as an excuse to threaten others? What kind of fucked up dream logic is that?
Syria body-checks the militant, he shoots, he scores! BOOM!

The U.S. military blames fighters recruited outside Iraq for many of the suicide attacks targeting U.S. and Iraqi forces and has previously criticized neighbors such as Syria for not checking the flow of foreign militants across borders into Iraq.
Syrian Border Guard: “Sir, are you a member of al Qaeda or other known militant groups, are you planning to fuck some shit up in Iraq?”
Militant: “No Sir.”
SBG: “Can you prove this?”
Militant rummages around in bag full of grenades and bullets, pulls out a card: “Here you go, it’s my ‘Not a member of al Qaeda card,’ which I believe is still valid”
SBG: “Looks like it’s good till ‘08, have fun in Iraq, son.”
Militant floors it and desert-peels out. Later, in the background, some explosions happen.
I mean, really, do they expect dude to be like “Yeah, I’m in al Qaeda, I guess you should arrest me now?” Don’t we patrol Iraq’s borders? Why are we letting foreign fighters in to the country?
