So obviously, it is not the same thing for a journalist to make an appointment or to see a terrorist interview him and a special forces team to go in and grab him. obviously those are two different things. but the administration response so far from the pentagon, from the state department, to be fair, i think they have been a little snarky about the question. obviously there are a lot of political rumblings out there suggesting that the timing is convenient for the president. i find that a littl...

Fast forward to what benghazi looks like right now. still very lawless, still a very dangerous place, but at the same time, interestingly, you have this big anti-islamist movement that has been happening, part of it spearheaded by a renegade general who made it his mission to go after these various different islamist brigades, focusing very heavily on sharia and also the support of the population when it comes to these operations. so the circumstances inside libya right now make it much more con...

Before maybe a few days ago. the portugal team is of course led by cristiano ronaldo, huge star, huge talent, but the rest of the team, not as talented. while he certainly has the ability to take over a game, hes playing with teammates who arent as strong as in years past. he is also going to be missing one of his key teammates, the best defender on that team was given a red card in their last match so he wont be on the field. hes suspended for the game against the u.s. lucky break for the ameri...
