The weekend closure of US embassies across the Middle East was already expanded through the rest of this week, and in some cases may last an entire month, officials say, citing an “abundance of caution” amid fears of an imminent attack.
But are the embassies even the intended target? That’s not clear at all, officials admit, saying that they know al-Qaeda wants to attack US assets and that might conceivably mean embassies, but it could just as easily be tourist sites, airports, or really anything.
That’s one of the big problems as speculation grows around the “imminent” threat; though officials say what evidence they have points to an attack very soon and some ties to the Arabian Peninsula, they have next to no information about targets and seem to just be guessing.
It’s not sitting well with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R – TX), who insists closing the embassies makes the US look “like a bunch of cowards,” saying that if the US had sufficiently overwhelming security at all of its embassies they’d never have to close them.
The way that they target-ambush these embassies is like this.., riding their bike, stop and throw a stone at the gate. That really scares the hell of the staff and is a threat to the national security. So USA militarism regime needs to respond by droning these people in other part of this world.
Hmmm – here's a thought. Close all foreign embassies permanently. Then no one will be able to 'attack' them. It will save a lot of taxpayer's money.
The warning about a threat is HOAX. Embassies are not the target, but American people and gullible people around the world are target for the war criminals in Washington.
Seriously. Does anyone believe this BS? Maybe this will be the future – all threat, all the time, everywhere. How convenient for the PTB!
