Three rockets that were fired into Baghdad’s Green Zone hit the US Embassy of Sunday, with one crashing into the dining hall. There has been no claim of responsibility for firing the rockets.
The hit on the dining hall did some damage. There are conflicting reports of casualties, with at least one member of the embassy staff wounded. Other reports suggested more than one injury, but did not provide a number.
US officials reported that one of the rockets hit near the deputy ambassador’s residence, and this was the first time that a “direct hit” on any part of the embassy compound was reported in recent rocket fire.
Iraqi Deputy PM Hoshyar Zebari blamed the attack on a “unruly militia.” He did not offer any specifics beyond that, but urged the attacks to stop, saying they were dangerous strikes.
I wonder how long it will be before we hear Congress or the Senate talking about the “ungrateful” Iraqis…
Lol. They have been saying that for years. Actually Trump just did it last week lol. https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/trump-suggests-iraq-is-ungrateful-for-all-we-have-done-for-them/
Mmm, wonder who did it…Iraqis, Iranians, Afghanis, Syrians, Libyans, Panamanians, Venezuelans, Native Americans, Vietnamese, Koreans, citizens of Caen, Koreans, Japanese, Okinawans, Eric Prince, family of Snowden, Israelis, Neo-confederacy, etc….just cant imagine who would do such a thing….
Focus on the narration not who fired what. It’s part of the plot to exit later this year.
Detective, let’s not worry about who murdered this guy, the perp is just doing it to give himself a reason to leave town.
On a larger scale, that one man was just another pawn. You need to expand beyond the chess board.
Do share your “analysis.” So, you’re saying the USA caused these rockets to be fired, if it’s ‘part of the plot?’ Or the “deep state,” or some “zio-christian conspiracy?” Please tell!
I’ll only share when “@*^%*+ and ^+*{# *} with +*}£<*{‘s o #+%*}^<* don’t understand this, most %*+}+}^ are **#%{^}!!!
US is now officially (again) occupying Iraq and at war with pretty much the entire region except its Zionazi offshoot in occupied Palestine and the opportunistic Kurds, so they shouldn’t be too surprised that their burgers and fries in Fort Baghdad comes with Katyusha rockets.
This is exactly what a costly and increasingly bloody (on the part of the occupying power) war of attrition looks like. Its impossible to win. This time the survivors (be sure there were casualties) fled from the rooftop of the biggest “embassy” in the world, Vietnam style and the only ones except the resistance that are high fiving and jumping up and down now are the Israelis.
Saddam’s last words, a reply to a taunt telling him to go to hell: “To the hell that is Iraq!”
Knock down that crusader castle.

Huh the Neocons told us assassination of Soliemani was going to prevent Embassy attacks, who could have gotten they’d be wrong again. Maybe we should encourage them to flip coins to determine policy, atleast they’d be bound to be right half the time instead of always being wrong.
Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani purely to shore up support among Republicans in the Senate and to placate Christian Zionists like Pompeo and Pence. That the assassination in effect declared war on two countries, Iran and Iraq, was not in his political calculations, if he even has any, other than staying in office and out of prison.
This asymmetric hybrid warfare waged with rockets and MANPADS can only escalate and the US has no effective defense against it. A war of attrition will eventually cut supply routes leaving US troops isolated and begging to be withdrawn from Iraq and Syria. Trump’s oil will get very expensive, right in time for the 2020 election.
*Sniff*… we invaded their country and wrecked it, and now they’re ATTACKING us. They must hate our freedoms.
Gee, it’s almost like some bad apples in Iraq aren’t appreciative of the hard work the USA has been putting in making their country a democratic paradise! We should send ’em a bill!
Of what cost to those who profited and still profit off construction of Iraq.
If a Soldier or State Department employee theirnbeneficiaru recieved US $250,000.00 dollars out of General taxpayers funds.
And they send another to replace the departed one and hire another useful fool to train as a replacement.
The departednis a martyr once back home and public displays of mourning and calls for retribution to the killers of a hero means an increase in military, State and Department of Defense, NGO grants and elected representatives pockets.
The cost are insignificant to general public
who are busy looking out for own economic
and luxury grade lifestyles , and tax payers money accends to the top 30% of society.
The cost of killing and impoverishing of many foreigners, their .cheap lives and easy kills, and the paying of surviving collaborators to aid in theft of nations resources cost nothing to todays modern European and US carpetbaggers.
All empires of past had to contend with minor uprisings in far flung places , cost of being an Empire and as.usual then and now the folks back home play as others die far far away.
Pompeo on Monday in a statement tweeted that the recent strike was “a flagrant attack on Iraq’s sovereignty”, calling on Iraqi authorities to secure the American diplomatic mission.
Pompeo demands protection for US occupation of Iraq.
Next, Trump will demand payment for US troops in Iraq.
