The United States said Thursday it would close an unspecified number of embassies around the world on Sunday over security concerns.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said that after Sunday, the government would reassess its options, without specifying the particular threat to the embassies concerned.

Considering the warnings given on Sept 11, 2012, I wonder why they're acting on these threats.

Incredible. Zero thinks his birthday is important enough for terrorists to get excited about? And he’s on their side anyway.
Maybe he was afraid the fireworks they’ll be shooting off to celebrate his birth might get out of hand or something.

By now you should know that if the government does not cite specifics about something such as an unnamed threat, it is because muslims and/or islam are involved.

Ahhh, thanks, now I see. What better way to celebrate the “holiest day” in your “holy month” than by killing people and destroying things?

Can’t we close them all permanently and bring all our assets home?

Aren’t travel advisories usually issued in conjunction with Embassy closings?
