9. You are repeating exactly what Trump just said.

It was Iraqi relatives and friends of the IRAQI'S who were murdered.

5. Is Trump trying to get the U.S. Embassy in Iraq overrun?

Former President Jimmy Carter can inform Trump that this situation would not be fun.

Concern-trolled wishful thinking?

7. Worse than that,

Trump is looking for an excuse to start a war with Iran.

Ri-ight! Trump organized the attack on the embassy? Trump knew the response to the attack on the Hezbollah terror-thugs would would be this attack on the embassy? ::)  :o  ::)  :o  ::)  :o  ::)  :o  ::)

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.

The Marines were requested by the U.S. State Department and their deployment was approved by Iraqi Security Forces, Central Command spokesman Mike Lawhorn told Military Times in an email Tuesday. Two Apache attack helicopters are providing over watch.

6. Bush's Folly, true, but it was W's daddy.

The mess started with Desert Shield, then Desert Storm in 1991. It continued, with varying amounts of military heat, until now.

The embassy building/fortress is W's doing (or President Cheney).

11. One U.S. civilian contractor killed results in airstrikes by U.S. forces.

Jamal Khashoggi brutally murdered results in, nothing.

Actually, I think the Saudis have put several people on trial for that murder. But this is an apples-earthworms comparison anyway.

Different presidents, different responses, let’s see how many get dragged out and tortured in the streets!  Doubt it’ll be ours this time. Hope Hillary and Obama are watching.

President Trump should have just sent one Warthog for just one flyby and a burp or two of depleted uranium in the crowd of "mourners."

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
