Maybe blowback is a better term?

The people of this planet have every right to protest the fucked up situation we're all in. Maybe this bullshit is about the Mohammed film, or maybe it's not. Protests are coming to the 'first world', I don't doubt (and not the comparability pussy Occupy variety, either). People don't have food! The Arab Spring was as much about that as it was about getting rid of dictator x,y or z. Maybe this is all still just false speculation, but maybe it's not.
Sure Happy It's Thursday...Fridays Are Notorious!

This is very much in line with what I see as well.

WTF??

U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.

When the NO weapons or No ammo orders began a coupla years ago, my question was,
WHY HAVE MARINES? why not just hire receptionists? and Who at the top of the military is sitting still for this?!
