“The attack on our embassy in Baghdad came about because we are contesting the Iranians for influence in Iraq”

- buzzwords from the blame America first crowd. I will ignore as usual because they have nothing worthwhile to say.

Sadly this article is exactly what Tucker Carlson has been saying.
I’m not for a war in the Middle East, but that doesn’t mean our embassies or citizens there should be attacked with impunity.

Those Iranian-backed Iraqi militants stormed the U.S. embassy after the prime minister of Iraq publicly condemned the U.S. for the airstrike against Kataib Hezbollah several days earlier.

It's interesting how this little fact seems to have been completely overlooked.

Iraq is a bigger problem than Iran at this point. Iranian militants didn't attack the U.S. embassy in Tehran last week -- because the U.S. has no diplomatic relations with that country at all.
