"Hi there!"

because it is hard for the military machine to let go, as the famous words of DDE ring in my ears
Also because we tried Isolationism, and got burned.
I happened to be talking to an in-law over Christmas who was a retired machine gunner from the 82 Airborne Division. He said he jumped carrying 1,500 rounds of ammunition as well as his weapon. He said he needed “enough to carry him over until supplies arrived”. (Note a couple of articles above this that elements of the 82nd are going into the middle east, as well.)
I suspect that paratroopers jumping out of an airplane carry less ammunition than Ospreys delivering Marines. This says to me that 100 Marines would be very well able to protect the embassy. I would also not be surprised if there were nearby helicopter and fix winged gunships, as well as a Commander-in-Chief who is not afraid to use them. Iranian terrorists beware.
How does it feel to be wrong the first rattle out of the box in a new year? Hmmmm? The neocons would be so proud of you
I’m just saying that’s the argument for keeping a presence in Asia.
Create a void, and something will fill it.
Accurate gunship fire tends to discourage mortar fire.
Now that’s a serious pile of whoop-ass coming in fast!
A flying target, helicopters are vulnerable.

That is something the USA has never done, stabilize a country.
"Hi there!"
Gone back to bed?
Blamed it on an awful internet video?
Lied to the families faces?
...don’t have to imagine what Hillary would have done, we already know how she handles embassy attacks.
Informative post. Since I don’t have easy access to talk radio anymore in the Bay Area, I don’t know where to go for such info. I’d like to know what’s going on in Iran after all these weeks of protest. Any suggestions on websites?
I don’t have a TV anymore.
We cut our cable 3 years ago and only listen to our local radio station during fires, earthquakes and floods.
In the meantime we donate monthly to Free Republic and visit it several times a day for some real news.
So stay here is our suggestion.
Protestors?
This entire thing seems like an Obama/CIA/Deep State op designed to entangle Trump into an unneeded foreign entanglement in an election year.
“...SPMAGTF-CR-CC....”
Now, THAT, my friends, is one Hell of an acronym...
Hell’s coming, savages. Obama doesn’t have your back anymore.
