…The biggest challenge was not letting it touch the floor

“We had to sort of put our heads together,” said Pineda, who has sewn since age 12. “We had to put up some chairs or hooks to hang it up (and) sometimes you were the one stuck with standing there holding a corner for a while.”…

    Well, let’s just say I’d have issued different orders. Like, for instance, “If it comes over the wall, you shoot it dead. No exceptions.”

    AFTER issuing the following warning to the mob (via interpreter, if necessary):
    “Awright, listen up assholes! Fair warning. This is NOT Tehran, 1978. Anybody invading US sovereign territory WILL be fired upon. Use of deadly force IS authorized. End of warning. Make your own choices.”

    Update at 2:07 p.m. ET: CNN reports that U.S. security guards fired a volley of warning shots as the crowd gathered outside the embassy walls.

    Re. embassy flag: I assume the guards’ orders were to not make any martyrs.

    It’s up to the host nation’s security forces to prevent things like that from happening. But then, this is Morsi’s Egypt now.

    1, etc: Egypt celebrates 9/11 day.

    Larger quote from our worthless state department here:

    http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/09/this-just-in.php

    State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland lacked a firmer grip on the situation…

    “I would urge you not to draw too many conclusions as we have also had some very positive developments in our relationship with Egypt,” Ms. Nuland said.

    Name one “positive development in our relationship with Egypt.” It is impossible to spin this, but she tried anyway.

    “Obviously one of the things [positive!!] about the new Egypt is that protest is possible.”

    Time to shutter our embassy, take our $3 billion, and go home.

    Oh yeah, and turn the idiots in control of our foreign policy out on the streets to see if they can earn a living doing something useful.
