It think Blackspeare is right about the pay-off to military leaders. Money makes for a quiet institution.

I think it’s obvious who’s behind this coup.

Everything I heard about the ousted President Abdallahi was generally positive.

But then Mauretania has oil.

And then there is this:

They just won’t leave anyone alone.

Though the prospect of a military coup does not look the best solution to unseat a corrupt government, I still believe that it’s better than sitting helplessly and doing nothing!

Since America under the current leadership has been brought down, in many respects, to the levels of third world countries, it behooves its citizens, or part of them, to try the methods of third world countries to deal with its current corrupt criminal government!

I would support U.S. Marshals grabbing Rove, Cheney and Bush, just need a charge filed by congress or the Supreme court.

mmmmmm, looks good to me! take a look at http://www.pbs.com & go to Bill Moyers Journal & Capital Crimes to get a clear picture of exactly how this Gov in the USA known to be the most corrupt in the world works; then KNOW that Woodrow Wilson Pres during WW1 lamented the fact that our country was no longer a home of the FREE nor even of the majority vote: rather under the dictates & rules of a few dominant men; a total one journalist wrote of 574 I believe it was; KNOW that both parties are basically the same as repeated over & over again even by Ron Paul; they try to “present” choices to the people; and “claim” democracy means “voting” while bringing in millions of illegals & giving them drivers licenses by Oregon for 8 years (illegally of course) & giving them money, brand new cars, trucks, no interest loans, pay back as can under “heading” of refugees with benefits; lots of $ at both St & Fed levels people irregardless of what is said & shown; while leaving the “vets” without medical treatment, without $ for disability pay, etc all the while claiming “broke” while in reality it is like a “bad abusive husband” situation hiding $; getting away with it for years they go now to the heads of countries giving them large sums of $ to go along with “their” way since have gotten away with it in USA for so long; in the meantime Americans are disappearing in every state at an exceedingly alarming amount during so called “housing” crisis which is far worse than is described on TV; at least, the number of empty homes with everything in them left behind, including clothes, family Bibles, pictures, etc; while SAME EXACT PICTURE keeps being “shown” as Americans supposedly stripping homes of everything & demolishing them due to “foreclosures”; THINK: THIS was STOPPED by LAWS after great depression; so was the “run” on the banks; all safe guarded folks; WHERE ARE THE MISSING AMERICANS? the Pentagon is behind most of what is going on, not just the CIA or who is in the White House folks; Pendragus is TOLD what to say on TV; you can TELL IT; lies, lies, & more lies; Pentagon has close ties with Corp’s running the media in this country; how convenient that 50% of them were gone & the other half of them out doing a “drill” in case the Pentagon got hit by an airplane during 9/11 wasn’t it?

al marshall,
If our military stages a coup, it will be expressly to take charge and institute a rule of military dictatorship.
We the people would have to march enmasse into washington and take over the congress and the white house to take our country back. But that would interfere with too many people’s favorite tv shows so don’t expect that to happen anytime soon.

Umm----looks like President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdellah wasn’t sharing the spoils with the military----that’ll teach him.

At least in the USA we pay-off the military heads with lucrative jobs afterwards so that the appearance of collusion is a little less obvious.
