I mean, just because you swim in natural pools with algae in it does not mean automatically that it is safe to swim in a pool that is green. After all, if algae can live in the pool then so can other bacteria, virus, and brain-eating amoebas. Plus everything growing on everyone else's bodies all combined like a warm soup just sitting there stagnate under the blazing hot Libyan sun all day, all shared.
Lord, cause their hair to fall out, their organs wither and waste, make their skin itch unbearably without comforting cortisone until they go nuts as they baste. Have their eyeballs burn and their tongues swell up, and Lord, please do all this with haste.
Lord: No. That is not a good prayer.
Is it even unsafe to swim in a pool green with algae? Answers.com
• The Algae won't hurt you. But if the chlorine isn't killing the algae, then other microorganisms might be present also.
• No it is not!!!!!! We just returned from a trip to Mexico and stayed at a high end Resort. The pool was beautiful but on three of the days there we saw algae in the pool. It was cleaned out with manual sweeping and I suppose chlorinated or shocked. When we got home I had this horrible itching that was unbearable.
• This is the first I've heard of algae causing dermatitis related problems.
• The definitive answer is "it depends."
• Europeans swim in pools that have algae on the walls, yet also have a high ORP (oxidation reduction potential- as measured in millivolts of conductivity).
• The reader who got sick probably swam in a pool which had bacteria, viruses, and algae due to poor water chemistry maintenance.
• ...carry your own pool water test strips when you travel,
• If it's a public pool and it's green, I wouldn't dip my finger in it.
Must be nice working at a foreign embassy. None of the officer's on-base housing had pools. We had pools off base, of course, but never on base.
Oh, how posh.
We see they went for that low maintenance brown front yard look with the simple elegance of a a single dwarf tree.With assorted shrubbery on the side. Large containers planted with a single succulent. Simple elegance. Good choices. Nothing too demanding. Not that into gardening.
The staff was evacuated to Malta. Where is Malta anyway? Where in relation to Tripoli, Libya? (There is also a Tripoli Lebanon, Greece, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania)
Google Earth plots a circuitous route through Tunisia to Tunis, across the water to Palermo Sicily then across water again to Malta. The military would most likely go straight there, don't you think?
Once there, turns out Malta is another posh location. A real destination. Man, that diplomatic corps really has it nice. Look at all the photographs pinned.
Let's look at some.
Help! Help! We're being overrun at our posh residence in Tripoli! Help! Help! Evacuate us to Malta! Such are the hazards faced by our diplomatic corps.

The Google Earth route is the one taken by the US 5th Army in WWII.
No fun at all.

Think you mean Lebanon, not Labia.
Yes, I must fix that.
I had the weirdest dream last night that I cannot get out of my head.
I was quartering plastic frisbees to process to tiny bits to consume.
!
Then a heavyset grandmother lady came out to chide me. I thought she would start in attacking me for consuming plastic, but instead she chided me for being single-minded about vegetables.
We moved inside arguing.
I argued back at her about her being entirely wrong, so off-base that it isn't even funny. That her own perception is so narrow that it is hardly worth addressing. and then my mother, who is not my real mother in real life, kept interfering with my argument. So I had to get her to shut up too so that I could continue and develop my argument with the grandmother. I turned mother's chair around and pushed the chair toward the table with her in it, but she kept interjecting irrationally anyway and without landing any valid points. I expanding the argument out to encompass other things well beyond grandmother's narrow perception. I was really laying it on thickly to get her to shut up and my fake mother kept interjecting, so two irrational bitches against one sane self with interests that do go beyond vegetables, the only thing they saw, the single thing they stayed stuck on. They did not understand me at all, to the point of seeing nothing but vegetables.
I have no idea why I wanted to surreptitiously eat frisbees.
Hillary's smart power.
You are a master in the kitchen, Chip-- but I doubt even you could make Frisbee taste good.
Chip: What kinds of things might have gotten into the sourdough starter you left outside in *cough cough* smokey Denver?
They could have been an element in causing that dream, ya know?
Alright, foreign embassy, that's the topic.
In other times (meaning when any being other than Beloved Hussein Obama was president) a foreign power occupying an American embassy would have been cause for immediate retaliation of the dropped-from-an-airplane-and-KABOOM! kind.
Even Bill Clinton would have had bombs dropped on the perps' headquarters. Heck, the media would have demanded an American response.
But not now. President Three Putt is all business as usual, giving a fundraising speech just now in Milwaukee. Maybe he'll drop rubber duckies into the embassy swimming pool.
There's a short ad before this at Breitbart, but if you can stand to watch, this is a man who is in the process of losing his shit.
Try with the sound off if necessary, but watch the eyes.
Obama and the left are going to force opportunity.
Right after the mob bosses get back from the bar.
Rabel....by G-d, you're right.
I watched it first with the sound on, then again with it off and just watched the eyes and body language. His eyes focus no where, when usually in rhetorical expression you learn to look at a few people in the array of audience before you. He isn't. The capping gesture is his licking and wiping of his own lips at the end.
I suspect he "lost it" some time ago and the symptoms are now more obvious. Maybe he's just proud of his man (clone of Robert Komer) in the White House John Brennan's work when Libya collapsed...and all the good getting those weapons to Syria has done. Even Hillary is running away from that as fast as her chubby cankles can carry her.
PS/OT a bit: Tickles me that the Obamster goes to Milwaukee and sends Joe (Duh, yeah, sho'nuff) Biden to Detroit's Labor Day Parade. Never mind Detroit and New York are where it all (real union power) began. Who'd NYC get today? Hillary?
Obama is in Milwaukee. The democrat seeking to unseat Governor Walker, Mary Burke, has been doing everything possible to avoid being seen with Obama. It looks like she succeeded.
Rabel: I watched the video clip, and yes, he is losing his shit. Still screaming for affordable healthcare???
Obama is really pissed at Obama for signing the ACA into law, apparently. And the idiots standing behind him believe it.
Chip,
I've had conversations with Leftists that followed the same pattern. But I never wanted to eat a Frisbee afterwards.
By God.
Obama - two more years of this loser. Sigh.
I get the feeling people have just tuned him out, just like they tuned out Bush II around 2007.
Johnny McCain on MTP last Sunday, for the 1000th time.
God, the MSM are beyond parody.
Hey, there in the video,
it's the Arab Fall.
