The Pentagon directed at least 100 crisis response Marines to reinforce the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday following violent protests and released photos and videos of it all.

At this point, what does it matter?
Thanks to President Trump, no Benghazi siege will happen here.
How far are you from a station with Rush or Mark Levin?
AS an American citizen and Viet Nam veteran I authorize shoot to kill orders for anyone found inside the embassy grounds.
Semper Fi brothers.

Have you tried streaming? One can get some shows that way. We live in the middle of nowhere, so we stream frequently.
Good post, I spent a year there in 07-08 while this was being built. If they came across the bridge then they likely came from Sadr City.
I did not see Mookies name on the party list, anyone have any intel on that?
Before GWB, there was no US embassy in Iraq, and the regime itself was openly hostile. Now you have a weak regime that could fall, but did make a hopeful beginning thanks to GWB, and despite Odumbo, there still is a regime, even after ISIS has risen and fallen. The trajectory of what GWB started is now out of his hands, so it’s time to stop “thanking” him and play the hand that fate has dealt. The alternative is staving off and reacting to crises like this ad infinitum. Trump has to get proactive.
My first thought.
Trump blames Iran for attack on U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad

The paid subscription to RUSH 24/7 is actually worth the money.
Im not even sure Iraq can be saved at this point. Thanks GWB
Accurate mortar fire from some miles away would discourage the miniguns ... the Embassy has long been zeroed in by ragheads.
I believe the poster is speaking of aircraft mounted miniguns.
It takes 50 years to stabilize a country. Not 10 or even 20.
Why do you think we’re still in Japan, South Korea and Germany?
