Embassies closing in muzzie lands .... do you smell something fishy?

I don't know about you,  but I feel that all this "all of a sudden" warnings of Al Qaeda planning something big and the closing of embassies, etc.  smell real fishy.    I wonder if Obama and gang are trying to prove to all of us that the NSA snooping program is necessary to catch terrorist chatter and that govt. snooping is a necessary evil that we better live with if we want to live at all.  With this guy and his gang anything is possible.  They are devious with  a capital "D".

By closing the embassies in countries that get the biggest bulk of US funding,  is America now admitting that their bribes to those countries don't even warrant basic protection for their embassies by the governments there?  Also, what about other non-embassy Americans living in those countries as foreign workers ... are the terrorists only after embassies and diplomats and not other ordinary Americans or the US companies in muzzie lands?  Are those companies also shutting down and for how long?   Will the terrorists lose their zest to do boom, boom, give up and go away because they can't find Americans between now and the next few days?  Does it make sense to you?  To me it does not and the only possible alternatives .... there are two... one that I mentioned in the first para and the other is that the USA herself is planning something big against something or somebody.  Maybe I am wrong .... but the sceptic in me finds all this very fishy.

From CBS: 
 ....Terrorists Already Have Orders, Could Be In Place For Attacks.  U.S. intelligence officials are dealing with the most credible terrorist threat in years as 19 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and Africa remain closed through this upcoming Saturday.

CBS News reports that a large-scale attack may be imminent as al-Qaeda terrorists in the Arabian Peninsula already have their orders and could be in place for execution of the alleged plot.

Juan Zarate, a CBS News security analyst, says this recent plot is similar to one from 2010 in which several European sites were targeted.

“People were worried about Mumbai-style attacks coming from the al-Qaeda core,” Zarate said, adding, “It never materialized but officials were worried that they actually had operatives in place. And, that’s a great concern here.”

The State Department said 19 diplomatic posts will remain closed through Saturday “out of an abundance of caution.” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the decision to keep the embassies and consulates closed is “not an indication of a new threat.”

Diplomatic facilities in Abu Dhabi, Amman, Cairo, Riyadh, Dhahran, Jeddah, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Manama, Muscat, Sanaa, Tripoli, Antananarivo, Bujumbura, Djibouti, Khartoum, Kigali, and Port Louis are instructed to close for normal operations through Saturday, Aug. 10...........
