I don't get it.
Put a company at each embassy and free up the ROE.
Okay, Plan B, don't we have enough armed drones to cover the area?

My experience with the "heightened alert" today:
I approach one of the minor Fort Bragg gates and there are two guards there; obviously, they are bored.
One is an E-7 and the other is an E-5. They see my "Torch Red" 2013 C6 Grand Sport Corvette and look at one another and smile. They briefly discussed something as I slowed down further to approach.
The E-5 steps out and says, "Sir, you've been 'randomly' selected for a vehicle security inspection due to the increased security - Condition Bravo - related to the threats to US Embassies throughout the world."

I had an MP at Ft. Buchanan, PR tell me that I couldn't ride my Harley through the gate till I "let her rip".
I left him a cloud of smoke and 30' or so of rubber while he cheered.

Well, we did speak about the engine for about five minutes after I opened the hood for him.

The most transparent administration in history, which means to me, it's very transparent that they are completely incompetent and corrupt.

Wondering
I'm no military tactician but...
Wouldn't having that threat info and keeping it secret be a good opportunity for an ambush?
Did they just train the bad guys more on how to do a rope a dope and/or avoid detection later (ie. probing)?
Thought they weren't a threat anymore, sounds say, "Phony " to me. Not the threat, the statement during election. As TS says, lair and a fraud sounds about right.
Very nice car... jammers and detectors should be standard equipment

OMG! That's a fine ride! If it's true that red cars are ticketed most often then your daily outings must look like a Smokey & The Bandit outtake.
