Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo today and hauled down its U.S. flags, replacing them with black flags with Islamic emblems.

[dartuser]

Strong response coming from the WH ...

"Please stop doing that and give us our flags back ... please."

[pogo101]

Remember Tehran, 1979. Don’t take chances.

[null and void]

Obama’s Jimmah Carter moment?

[USNA74]

OK, it’s not 3 AM, but the phone is ringing. What’s he gonna do, bow to Egypt’s new President? This is US property!

[Huskrrrr]

But didn’t the mere presence of Obama in Egypt in 2009 fix all these problems?

[KansasGirl]

Way to go, Obama.

[null and void]

Too bad there’s only 131 days left, otherwise he could beat Carter’s record...

[muir_redwoods]

Got to love those zany Egyptians. Invade the US embassy because the Dutch made a movie they don’t like.

[ZX12R]

Obama will call and congratulate them.

[Brandonmark]

[Eleutheria5]

A squadron of Marines ascended to the roof and fired shots at the area where the protesters had been taking down the flag. Nobody was injured, however, because the protesters had already gone home hours before. President Obama blamed their absence on Bush for throwing his timing off.

[heylady]

But we are their friends. We scaled back our joint military exercises with Israel and are going to do joint military exercises with Egypt instead.

Everyone knew this Arab Spring would end badly for US.

[edcoil]

Then why not attack the Dutch embassy?

[jwalsh07]

Just another Spring day in Jihadistville.

[Steely Tom]

All this for a damn flag.

[DuncanWaring]

This is what democracy looks like!

[PGR88]

Didn't Marx say the cliche: history repeats itself, once as a tragedy and once as a comedy.

Jimmy Carter was the tragedy and The Marxist Obama is clearly the comedy.

[Fresh Wind]

Where’s Barry? Golf? Fundraiser? Ice cream shop?

Hello? Hello?

[Red Badger]

I have a Black Flag for them...........

[freeangel]

I’m sure hussein will ring them up and promise them billions more of US tax dollars.

[Billthedrill]

Marx used the word “farce”. He was correct.

[RexBeach]

Perhaps Mr. Obama will apologize for the Dutch?

[Travis McGee]

It's called the Black Flag of Jihad, or the War Jihad flag.

[dfwgator]

Sic Henry Rollins on 'em

[RexBeach]

Perhaps Mr. Obama will apologize for the Dutch?

[Pete]

So how did we respond? Did we condemn the invasion of sovereign US soil and the destruction of our property and flag. Uh...no.

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims...We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of other

Hurt the religious beliefs of others? What does that even mean?

[soycd]

The media will squelch reporting on this to protect the kenyan. In your face America on this 9/11.

Some famous artist should put their Mulhamfistedmadman in a urine sample.

[Tugo]

Maybe our embassy staffers are very busy now, destroying, shredding and burning classified documents, computers, Obama portraits, etc. But wait, it’s already “Miller Time” in Cairo.

[a fool in paradise]

But didn’t the mere presence of Obama in Egypt in 2009 fix all these problems?

The man who claims to be a lifelong Christian also claims to hold a special, unique, connection with the muslim world. Why is that?

[mass55th]

It's a Dutch production company, but the movie is being produced by U.S. based Coptic Christian Egyptians according to this article:

Cairo Protesters

Check out this description of the protesters: "The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists."

Don't they mean radical Islamists?

[ctdonath2]

They remember too.
Weak President means take chances.

[EQAndyBuzz]

WWHRD???

Storm The Embassy-Stray Cats

Fifteen men taken captive in a hostile, foreign land
Scorchin’ sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
A Mideast country being ruled by a man who thinks it’s fun
To hold our people in return for a Shah that’s on the run

I think it’s funny
Freedom takes money

It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well, that’s tough shit, man, it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shooting down you and me

Scores of suits in control of the diplomatic-ness
While the nations of the world look on and can’t care less
The Soviet Union won’t agree to an economic plan
And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan

Orders from Moscow
Invade Tehran now

It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well, that’s tough shit, man, it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shooting at you and me, hey

A nation worries and reads the papers
Hoping that no one has died
Hearing rumors that the hostages
Will soon be tried as spies

Demonstrations on the street
Saying that the end is near
The man from the New York Times on vacation
Wants to know what’s happened here

Aggressive acts now
We want the best now
Fifteen moms crying
Is my son dying?

It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well, that’s tough shit, man, it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shooting at you and me

[TurboZamboni]

Arab Spring is like Irish Spring without the soap.

[Sequoyah101]

You and I both wish. Nothing legal will stop this sob.

[dfwgator]

Actually it’s more like Northern Irish Spring during “The Troubles”.

[TurboZamboni]

Just ask Huma Weiner.

[Buckeye McFrog]

We’ve come to free Julian Assange. Where is he?

[DannyTN]

"Check out this description of the protesters: "The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists." Don't they mean radical Islamists? "

They wanted to call them tea party Islamists.

[jagusafr]

They have invaded the sovereign territory of the United States of America. Shoot every single one who comes over the wall. Period.

[DannyTN]

And plan b was to call them "Bible clinging Christian fundamentalist" Islamists.

But the editor told them that wouldn't fly either.

[richmwill]

That savage country should be left to die on its own. Guess these “brave men” were able to tear themselves away from their daily rapes of schoolgirls and news reporters to do this- unbelievable.

[austinaero]

Obama is smiling right now.

[Doogle]

"I can't find Mama Jarrett...she has to tell me what to do"

[Wurlitzer]

“Strong response coming from the WH ...
“Please stop doing that and give us our flags back ... please.” “

---

IMO these are the flags the WH wants flying over the WH.

Remember how they removed the flag from the DOJ web site and replaced with with their black, swat looking crap.

[Red Badger]

Don’t know him........

[Travis McGee]

From the Al-Reuters article on Drudge:

“We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others,” the U.S. embassy said in its statement.

One slogan scrawled on the walls of the embassy, a fortress-like structure that is near Tahrir Square where Egyptians revolted against Mubarak, said: “If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action.”
