The militia also injured four U.S. troops and two members of the Iraqi Security Forces. The protesters were shouting, "Death to America!" as they stormed the U.S. compound on Tuesday.

Twelve unleashed US Marines against 6,000 Shi’ite militiamen. Not a fair fight.

Three trillion U.S. tax dollars paid to train and equip Iraqi security forces and close to a billion spent on this embassy, the largest, most fortified U.S. embassy in the world and this is the thanks we get?

I'm starting to think that perhaps the Iraqi people don't like us very much.

I naturally would prefer bullets and flame throwers, but I wonder if the mob would be distracted by our projecting holograms of naked women (or goats) among them.

Goats they would like. Nekkid chicks would drive them crazier.

Yes. Slow day at work. I thought I’d watch it. I normally avoid videos at work.

But alas, Twitter is blocked here. They’re pretty tight on this stuff. Even Gmail is blocked.

That’s a waste of tax dollars. Remove all US citizens from the entire ME and leave the tribes to fight it out between themselves.
