When you are making a movie about giant alien robots, make a movie about the damn giant alien robots, and not about human histrionics, teenage angst and love life crises! Leave those to drama movie makers. As with all sequels, the movie lost track of it’s core plot and characters. I had hoped against hope…
Libya has been witnessing the most violent among the protests that have been rocking the Middle East. After 40 years under the rule of Col.

There are reports of violence…
How the 45th US president-elect and the issues that dominated his high-voltage election campaign will actually turn out as a matter of policy continue to be subject to intense speculation.

If Wikipedia, the trusted source of all the World’s information is to be believed, the operation to nab him was carried out by a “Joint Special Operations Command” of the US Army with inputs from the CIA.
