If you watch fox news you can get updates on this situation. Other stations hardly carrying it because it does not fit the narrative very well.

If you have not paid attention to Iraq beyond the fight against ISIS, having Iraqis lay siege to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad may seem surprising.
They are protesting the recent series of airstrikes the U.S. conducted against the Iranian proxy in Iraq, Katib Al-Hizballah. That group had conducted multiple rocket attacks on U.S. installations in Iraq in the last two months, with the most recent killing a U.S. contractor. Our retaliatory strikes were labeled a violation of Iraqi sovereignty by the Iraqi government and key members of the Iraqi government have vowed to strike the U.S. again.
These events come as a surprise because the U.S. national security establishment has told us that despite the controversial beginnings of the Iraq conflict, we were successful at building a real government that can be a strategic partner in the region. To quickly make a government we allowed Shia exiles and Iranian proxies into the Iraqi government and turned a blind eye to Iran’s control of the Iraqi state.
he Bush administration began this lie for obvious reasons. The premise of the invasion was debunked early on and we lost almost 5,000 Americans and spent about a trillion dollars to get Iraq somewhat stable and needed something to show for it. But the stability we sold as a victory from 2008-2013 was just a tactical pause in the Sunni vs. Shia civil war that solidified Iran’s control.
The Obama administration was eager to continue this lie because it allowed us to withdraw from Iraq with the fig leaf of success. Iran’s proxies wanted to make sure that we left on schedule and killed nearly 30 U.S. service members between May and August 2011 to ensure we left by the end of that year. The Obama administration had no desire to confront Iranian aggression; they valued cutting the so-called Iran deal above all other security priorities in the region.

Of course it won't be Benghazi actual Americans are in charge.
But will they erase all the emails and evidence?
Nope. -
Nice to not have traitors in charge.

The question is was it a protest or was it planned? That's what matters most right?

Iran's calling the shots today.

What matters most is not having the ambassador sodomized and dragged through the streets as he was brutally murdered with 3 other Americans while Hilary and Obama let it burn while they made us fake excuses.HustlinOwl said:The question is was it a protest or was it planned?

I'm not surprised that you don't know this. At all -
President Trump is breaking tradition by not jetting off to Vegas immediately following an attack on our embassy
