100 U.S. Marines, 2 Apache helicopters reinforcing embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, after attack By: Philip Athey 2 hours ago  A detachment of 100 Marines are reinforcing the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, after Iraq protesters supportive of an Iran-backed Shiite militia attempted to storm the compound, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday. All U.S. personnel are secure and there are no plans to evacuate the embassy, the State Department told Military Times in a Tuesday email.

Baghdad "Green Zone" and US Embassy Compound Thousands of Kataeb Hezbollah supporters left funerals held for 25 fighters killed by US strikes on Sunday night. They then marched towards the US embassy, pouring through the heavily fortified 'Green Zone' before reaching the gates of the compound. As the mood deteriorated security personnel headed into the building and carnage ensued outside, with rioters eventually tearing through the main gate and inside the main forecourt of the embassy   This map shows the Embassy compound located along the Tigris River in Baghdad, Iraq https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... mplex.html |

I have to say that I am surprised and disappointed that a violent Mob can get even this close to the US Embassy in Baghdad, or any place in the "Green Zone". I assume it is down to Iraqi troops/security.. which USA funds to tune of many millions. They just as well STOP funding and training these people. If they don't run away at the first sign of trouble... they are liable to change sides and fight for the enemy. IF it is to US benefit to remain in Baghdad at all... then I guess this confirms that ultimately real security can only rely on real US armed forces. |

Violent savages managed to capture some Embassy signage.... burn a guard hut, and smash a window. Hillary/Obama got an ambassador and 3 patriots killed.. and the entire embassy compound destroyed.

I don’t disagree with the theory that Trump is being pushed towards more conflict by “Neocon” factions…. I really don’t know enough to agree or disagree… For instance…. Douglas Macgregor on Fox…..Trump is being “skillfully misinformed” https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/19678796/posts/179735 But whether that is true or not… the situation now is as it is. Trump is responding appropriately to this Embassy assault. However.. as I have said before, I do think it is misleading to label opposition to Trump as from just a “Deep State”…. that sounds like a few have infiltrated “The State” (at the top). I think it is far more pervasive.. it is the STATE ITSELF that is against Trump.. Hence the Trump DoJ and Sate Department are still protecting Hillary and all the Coup plotters. I saw a post asking: Who is “misinforming Trump?” .. The DOD, The DOJ, The State Dept, The CIA, The FBI, The Senate My answer would be ALL OF THE ABOVE.. and some others.. including foreign Governments and their Intel agencies. |

I have become a bit of a "Dove" when it comes to military action. It should be avoided.. but available as a deterrent and as a RESPONSE. I do think "circumstances" are pushing USA (Trump) into military action... pushing him into deploying more troops, rather than decreasing the numbers and staying out of the never-ending Tribal wars in ME. I don't KNOW if "neocons" are orchestrating this (I tend to NOT believe Conspiracy Theories), but "at this stage what difference does it make?"  As things stand Trump is right to deploy more troops... NOW... to protect US personnel and property. It would be a tragedy if there was need of troops and they were not on hand. I am sure Trump is reluctant to get dragged into a full-on war with Iran... but... IMO Iran is a "target rich" environment... Trump could deal them a big blow without endangering US troops on the ground. |

LIVE from Baghdad as protest outside US embassy resumes Streamed live 8 hours ago Ruptly Ruptly is live from Baghdad on Wednesday, January 1, as a protest in front of the US embassy compound enters its second day. According to reports, security forces at the US embassy fired tear gas early on Wednesday, attempting to disperse protesters that spent the night outside the embassy compound. On Tuesday, protesters angry about US air strikes on Iranian-backed militia in Iraq and Syria managed to storm the building and set parts of the premises ablaze. These “protesters” are all in “The Green Zone” which was formerly a VERY secure area… even while savage war factions roamed the streets of Baghdad just after US forces moved in. It is NOT beyond reason to expect the Green Zone to be secured again? I think it might be a good move to remove all those Terrorist flags…. and remove the graffiti? |
