Or did you just mistake the number of Marines sent to re-open the embassy (12) with 12,000? Because I can see how that can happen, if one is desperate enough for bad news.
No mistake on numbers, glad to see your keeping up on the "Wars of Obama".

One million?! When did they move there?

I am beginning to doubt it myself at this point. The 1 million figure is something I heard by word of mouth, but the stats I see in the net do not support it.

Prudish compared to who? Europeans only account for a small percentage of the world's population.

And prudish in what way? Europe isn't a big free-for-all orgy.

Prudish in the only way one can be a Prude.

And yea...Americans are the Prudes of the Western World. Like, it's not even close.

Two blogs citing the same unconfirmed source and crazy-woman Cynthia McKinney? Any - y'know - real news sources?

I think we act prudish but we're really not. I mean we turn out more porn than all of Europe put togther. And many Europeans are into porn.

Press News is a censored news channel in Britain, you should look them up. As far as the Ron Paul site, that was strange, when I posted it, it was a Ron Paul site, not blog.

You think Ron Paul is now being censored...................

I'm sure they are. You, however, linked to presstv.ir. You do know what the .ir top-level domain name indicates, right? (Iran.)

What censorship in the UK has to with their reliability seems a bit murky, but I'm sure it's linked in the mind of some. They themselves claim they'r being banned as part of a Zionist conspiracy, so - yeah, I rather doubt their reliability.

Potato, potato. Whatever it is, they have now removed the story - your link goes to a big fat Ron-Paul-themed 404.

No. No, I don't.

So back to those 12,000 US troops in Libya. Ron Paul's definitely-not-a-blog site has removed it, so you have an Iranian news site and Cynthia McKinney calling it a rumor. That's fairly weak evidence.
