The mobbing of the Baghdad Embassy could be a dry run for a seizure. Not likely with the security re-inforcement that has been sent.

Leave the place. Burn it to the ground as we do. Put it back in to the stone age (not too hard to do).

No one, no one would rub the dems faces in their own feces as Trump does and like he just did here.
We have a winner of a president!

The Iraqis are equally to blame for not providing outside security and allowing these thugs into the Green Zone. These imbeciles in the streets around the embassy could easily be dispersed with one low flying Apache gunship.

Pelosi Galore never misses an opportunity to throw some shade.

She’ll get hers one day.

Thousands of members and supporters of an Iranian-backed militia stormed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday.

Why is Trump giving any credence to this Benghazi crap talk anyway?

Iraq is an artificial country, cobbled together like Yugoslavia.

It should be broken apart into its three natural sections (Kurdistan, the Sunni center around Baghdad, and the Shia south.

“They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat.”

*****************

I’m afraid that warnings and threats won’t deter Iran. They only respect power and the willingness to use it.

They are clearly testing Trump.

With Benghazi, the Obama administration denied that anything was happening, let our people die, and blamed everyone but the bad guys.

In this case, the Trump Administration acknowledged something bad was happening, sent in the Marines, and called out the bad guys.

This is a great moment of distinction between these administrations. It also begs the questions: Where was Biden during Benghazi?

It used to be in times like this everyone including the Dems would rally the behind CIC. Not anymore everything is an opportunity for the rats, country be damned. They are as big an enemy as any foreign country in the world.

I’ve seen others around here saying this was Trumps Benghazi and it’s missing me off.

I said it and I said it at 6 am this morning when the story broke.

It was not meant to be taken literally.

It is an attack on a US embassy in the Middle East so it is similar. What is not similar is how this President will choose to handle it.
