Yes, and on every episode of Alias, 24, Nikita, and all other spy TV shows people fly halfway around the world in 15 minutes or so, because that is just how super-spies roll, and also because on those shows Benghazi and Hong Kong and Kigali and Delhi and Vladivostok are all pretty much Toronto with some set dressing.

My personal favorite was the old La Femme Nikita of the 1990s, in which the budget was too small for the sets to include interior shots of planes, so the super-spies dashed around the world in a black van. Occasionally they hopped continents by opening a different door in their super-secret spy headquarters.

The problem is, most Americans have so poor a grasp of basic geography that Croatia might as well be a suburb of Benghazi. Or the other way round.

The original <em>Clash of the Titans</em> was definitely "so bad it's good", in trying to make the remake good they made it bad.

Just up and send 40 guys into a place where you have no idea who's going to be shooting at you, and with what, but they've got at least mortars (can our guys duck incoming shells?) Sounds like a very good way to get a lot more than 4 people killed.

Fucks Gnus is just wishing Obama had been dumb enough to turn this into another Iran Hostage Rescue Debacle. Dream on, fuckers.

Is there a need for it? The FauxTards won't look at it; and -- aside from Comedy Central writers keeping an eye out for particularly hilarious material -- everybody else knows Fox is all bullshit, all the time.

The real tragedy is that Joe Lieberman doesn't have his senate seat to bloviate from on how things should have been done.
