Twitter War of the Day. Except this one’s a real war, too. NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Twitter feed and the Taliban Twitter feeds (yes, they’re real, the Taliban are on Twitter) frequently come to cyberblows, trashtalking one another in 140 characters or fewer. They’ve been at it since the Taliban joined up in spring, welcoming the group to the Internet by saying “We can’t wait until the Taliban start using @Foursquare too.”

Track it here on Al Jazeera.

This is snark-laden nerdbait at its best. Popcorn optional.

Lesson of the Arab Counter-Revolution: Syria Must Allow No Benghazis

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

By Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report

The Arab Spring was not allowed to get very far before the Arab Counter-Revolution pounced, first on Libya, now on Syria, to reconfigure the region by military means and, thus, make it safe for the various members of the imperial club. The Americans and their European and Arab allies are seeking Syrian territory to place under their “humanitarian” shield – a “liberated” city like Libya’s Benghazi for them to “defend.”

“stop” “it”

“guy” “who” “is” “a” “literal” “stalinist” “in” “the” “year” “of” “our” “lord” “2011”

Belgrade, Serbia: Demonstration in solidarity with Libya in the capital of the former socialist state of Yugoslavia. NATO imperialists are bombing Libya in the same way they pounded Yugoslavia in 1999, forcing its break-up.
