Every one of those “demonstrators” should have been administered the Room Temperature Challenge.

“Trump’s Benghazi” as the dumb people on CNN and MSNBC called it...

They should have all left in body bags.

For the record, I was only 15 when Iraq broke out, but I knew even then we were scrwed when they called it "Operation: Iraqi Freedom"

We should have called it "Operation: Burn Down your house and Sh*t on your couch because we are Star-Spangled Mother ******rs and that's how we roll".

But no. Another mess left to the grown ups to handle.

Golf balls.

One of these would do the trick:

A GE Mini would work too.

"they were egged on, and funded by, and armed by Obama, Jarrett and their Iranian gang."

Puh-lease. The Mad Mullahs don't give a crap what Obama/Jarrett say. Although being totalitarian/theology dictators, they're not so stupid to rely on past power. They know who is control today. They are testing this President's mettle in a different way. I doubt we see captive sailors on an Iranian patrol boat without Trump putting a major hurt on those SOB's.

I'm glad this Embassy thing was resolved. Unfortunately, the Mullahs will keep testing our resolve.

And yes, I'm still for bunker-busting their nuke facilities. I think we should do the same with the Norks.

“Trump’s Benghazi”

Very different from Obama’s “Stand Down.”

Iran will keep pushing until there is no other option but war which is what they fervently desire.

I think the “Benghazi” coverage from our MSM was the play by the Iranians. It is pretty easy to predict the response by our media who are focused on anything they can needle Trump with.

However, the Iranians made a major error in the timing of their “protests.” They chose a time when most of our media was off from work as were their masters in the DNC who were unavailable to provide the talking points we hear the MSM parrot over and over.

Had they done this next week it would have been much more effective as our media would have been able to hysterically spin the event into a major catastrophe for Trump.

"Iran will keep pushing until there is no other option but war which is what they fervently desire."

I believe that also due to their fatalist belief about some Imman crawling out of some well. They are insane enough to push us to their extinction. That's why I say attack their nuke facilities, yesterday. While we're at it, take out King John Um's facilities. With a barrage of bunker-busters and cruise missles and tactical nukes, Fatboy wouldn't unleash his armor installations on Seoul, and probably being eating his fingernails down to the bone in his bunker.

I have no problem with that after they've been provided the opportunity to have a proper interrogation.

The first Commie Congress Critter that mutters "torture," gets to take their place.

A Marine Corps veteran told me about what he saw when the enemy attacked the American airbase at Da Nang. He said that U.S. helicopters lifted off and hovered while the door gunners rained hot lead on the Viet Cong below. I hope they have some armed helicopters at the American embassy.

Rubber Sabot rounds are no joke. They leave a long lasting welt under your skin the size of a golf ball. They can blind you. If you catch one in the junk, your not walking anytime soon. Really fun to skip them off the ground into people’s mid section.

The rubber bullets were used because there might have been a few civilian protestors among the militia. This is still in a foreign country and there are PR issues at work.

Iran and the militia behind this will get their asses kicked. Don't worry about that.

They withdrew because they were laughing too hard to keep up the protest.

WHY the hell was even one left alive after they broke in?

Took the words right out of my mouth. And that raghead leader should be put on notice that if it happens again he will be personally targeted for extinction.
