the Philippines, plus support for Riyadh, Tegucigalpa, Doha, Manamah, Cairo
funny how FOR all these plans they were before they decided that faux peacemongering would shut us up--and if they keep the lies coming we can't keep up--from double taps to the NSA to Viennese flights to something more even I've forgotten!; it's not distraction, it's destabilization
note also how they only speak in superlatives--THE best President for Blacks in US history, THE most pro-poor, THE most compassionate, THE most anti-Wall Street and -Big Oil and -Big Pharma and -Big Insurance (they'll kick you out for demurring)
they keep forgetting that we're on the RECEIVING end of the Memory Holes--and they keep underestimating their opponents because they believe that we're as smitten, insular, and fixated as they are (it's much like creationists yelling "oh yeah, well HG Wells was wrong!" #micdrop: they can't understand that even though creationism is a cramped, eccentric theory that hasn't been updated since 1913, that's no reason evolution has to be the same!): they can't understand that someone can criticize Obama without hating or even caring about him, or that it all has to revolve around some other figure; they can't close their eyes without seeing Him, and thus suppose that others can't close their eyes without seeing--Greenwald, I suppose; Bill Watterson? Putin?
the rest are just Orwellian "I don't agree with everything he says and I'm not a cultist, but it's racist to call him a used-car salesman and there is no room for you on this board"

oh, and Somalia
