"This will not be another Benghazi" says the red-orange one.

[milestogo]

Sheer bluster. No need to bring up Hillary.

He has no idea what this will turn into.

[Farmer-Rick]

1. What he's finished golfing? Is it raining or something in Miami?

[pwb]

2. So it will be then.

.

[panader0]

3. It already is.

Our embassy is being attacked.
The only difference so far is that no one has been killed yet,
and that Pompeo is the SoS.

[gordianot]

4. He may right this time, instead he could get a real war.

War is the one thing he does not want the dilemma of bullies everywhere.

[DURHAM D]

5. So this is not a CIA operation?

Good to know.

[samnsara]

6. it already is!

[Wounded Bear]

7. He's right, but not for the reasons he thinks...

Dems won't launch years of faux investigations over bullshit. If they start a probe, you'll know there's some there there.

[Marcuse]

8. This.

[maxrandb]

9. Hey dipshit Donnie, Benghazi was not another Benghazi either!

It was a terrible attack, and your fucking Retrumplican fluffers stomped and pissed all over the corpses of 4 dead Americans so they could use them for a deplorable political hatchet job.

Go fuck yourself sideways you worthless piece of amphibian shit.

BTW - the Iraq embassy is the most fortified compound on the fucking planet.

It's more fucking secure then the White House... I wouldn't be bragging Donnie... I'd be worried

[Firestorm49]

10. Of course it won't. The shoe's on the other foot.

Will the press demand answers on why embassy security was cut back by Pompeo? Or, will the daily onslaught of crap emanating from Trump & Co. bury the story in an endless string of scandal after scandal?

[ooky]

13. This.

[karynnj]

11. this is dangerous for us -- it is not a comparable situation

The Iraqi embassy is the most secure facility we have -- while the consulate in Benghazi was lightly guarded with no easy place to quickly move help from.

Trump is equating the two to argue because the embassy is strong enough and the ability to move military to support as back up.

However, this is a US started fight. The US, without Iraq being consolidated, bombed Iraqi militants. Hezzbollah is a terrorist organization, but the group hit are Iraqi and it has put the Iraqi government in a bad position.

[milestogo]

12. If embassy personnel or US Marines get killed, it will be Hillary's fault.

Or Nancy Pelosi's.

[moondust]

14. How many Kurds

have lost their lives in northern Syria as a direct result of his foolish actions?

Did he order or okay the air strikes that led to the protests in Baghdad?

If nobody dies in Baghdad it will not be because of anything he did. In fact, why did he allow Iraqis to guard the embassy instead of Americans more likely to be protective of the embassy staff?

He's a desperate cheap shot hack.

[Lexee]

15. Because the Democrats didn't reduce security at Iraq like the Republicans did with Benghazi, leaving

them vulnerable.
