Or ask Jimmy Carter what we should do and do the opposite.
Armed with several Ma Deuces, SAW's, M4's, Claymores, 1,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition, and as much close air support as a year's worth of appropriations will pay for.
Oh, and a pissed off battalion commander.
Maybe because these cowardly shits know they would get hot lead organ replacement therapy if they tried.
I was afraid something like this was going to happen...
while you’re passing blame around, how bout pointing a finger at the U.S. House of Representatives. You see, others may see what’s going on as chaos in Washington - and what a great time to strike by causing more chaos on what they think is a weakened President..
Personally, I think a couple of Apache’s can quiet this down after a few sorties. If not, that’s what A-10’s are for.
just my $0.02

About anything ever.
looks like hogwash clickbait: REAL militias would have had REAL weapons, not just a few coke bottles filled with gasoline ... looks like paid protesters ...
150,000,000,000 dollars buys a lot of Shiite, thanks Barack Husain Obama.
As Congress did not approve the appropriation, I think Barry Soetoro should be required to pay that money back.
Perhaps start by selling his 11,000,000 dollar kickback purched mansion in Martha’s vineyard.
Weird way of thanking us for liberating them from murderous corrupt Saddam Hussein. I guess we should have spent all these billions on something worthwhile, like American Infrastructure.
A statement reminding the host country of their security obligations, along with a reminder that the US Military is ABSOLUTELY capable of handling security should be made...
And the statement that this is not Jimmah Cahtah, this is not 1978, and that the Bush Doctrine of “if you are not with us, you are with the terrorists (or Axis of Evil)” still stands... simple choice really. You handle security or we will and you might care a little bit more about the lives of your countrymen than we do...
Antifa - the Iraqi Chapter?................
I suspect by now there is plenty of air support waiting nearby.
“The men did not enter the main embassy buildings and later withdrew from the compound...”
I think they realized Hillary and Obama weren’t manning the controls anymore.
But they’ve seized the parking lot! It’s a moral victory!
The embassy is US soil. Light em up.
Stupid liberals are calling this trump’s Benghazi. Not realize that Obama never got the tag, but Secretary of State Clinton did rightfully so. Liberals are so dumb.
I have worked in Iraq and at embassies and I know the security situation very well. The protesters are all in the outer courtyard, not in the main partitions. The security guards and the marines can open fire if they enter the secondary areas, so the protesters aren’t doing that.
If the protesters really wanted in, they would have brought ladders. They didn’t because they know the rules also.
Hard to believe we paid a billion for the embassy and it’s that easy to take over. Ugh!
“Nothing an M60 and a couple of belts of ammo couldn’t handle. What is missing is the backbone to make it happen.
