Anti-US Protests Spread To India, Bangladesh, Indonesia

Did we say Arab Fall? We meant global fall. From the Star Tribune [8]: "Thousands of Kashmiri Muslims protested Friday against an anti-Islam film, burning U.S. flags and calling President Barack Obama a "terrorist," while the top government cleric here reportedly demanded Americans leave the volatile Indian-controlled region immediately. In the southern Indian city of Chennai, protesters threw stones at the U.S. Consulate, shattering some windows and burning Obama in effigy. Police quickly cleared the area, arresting more than 100 protesters. U.S. Embassy officials in Delhi did not immediately comment." And elsewhere: "In Bangladesh, about 5,000 hardline Muslims marched in Dhaka's streets after Friday prayers, burning U.S. and Israeli flags and calling for the death of the filmmaker. Police prevented them from marching toward the U.S. Embassy several miles away." And elsewhere: "In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, about 200 protesters chanted slogans and held up signs in a largely peaceful protest outside the heavily guarded U.S. Embassy in Jakarta. American diplomatic outposts increased security worldwide this week after clips of the film went viral online and sparked violent protests in the Middle East. About 20 protesters outside the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, shouted "Allahu akbar!" and handed reporters a letter addressed to the U.S. ambassador expressing their anger over the movie and calling for greater respect for religions."

Many more coming, providing a convenient cover to launch a defensive strategy against the entire Muslim world. Or something like that.

It's all under control though. 50 or so marines are on their way.

You see, all that talk Ron Paul was making about "Blowback" is turning out to be just plain hogwash! Good thing we kept two candidated runnung for president with the same foreign policies instead of that crazy old man's! Yeah, we sure are showing him his policies would never have brought this much peace in the Middle east! HA!

Where is Obama? Do we even have a president? Wasn't so long ago he was in Cairo gloating and puffing himself up like he was the Prince of Peace all the while ignoring the warning of real experts who told him his policies were going to come back and bite him in the butt.
Now I know it sucks to be completely wrong esp when one is a legend in their own mind and a know it all but it would be nice to hear his opinion and his plan to fix this world wide mess he created.

If Bush was still president he would be saying something brilliant like "bring em on"

12:06, This would NEVER have happened if Bush were still president or if anyone else were president for that matter because there is no one dumber on earth than Obama.
What kind of imbecile promotes the overthrow of 2 regimes who everyone knows kept the Islamic militants under control.
Now we are finding out more lies. There was no protests outside the consulate in Libya before the attacks.
