Rockets were fired at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad while Vice President Biden visits Iraq.
The rockets were fired at the embassy, located inside the International Zone.
Vice President Biden is currently in the country to meet with U.S. troops and talk to Iraqi political leaders.
Two soldiers inside the compound reported there was an impact from the incoming fire.
An all clear was given after the attack.
I live in ny. Trust me I know how you feel.

Unfortunately it seems that no one who is a representative of the US, no matter who they might be, is really immune from this sort of thing.

Cool “knowledge nugget” - thanks!
I remember when Agnew resigned and Ford was chosen.
This route came into being 1947
Manning the tubes.
Would that be good or bad from his point of view (having Pelosi as VP)?
She’s an evil witch who does Bambi’s bidding and spares him the trouble of actually having to pretend to do anything, so she might be a plus. But then who would control Congress?
What I really think this shows is the contempt that the Muzzie radicals have for the US. They know that with their friend in the WH, they’re cool and they can do whatever they want.
Seriously at this point, I’d rather have Biden in there then Pelosi..With Biden, he’s just an idiot who does Obama’s bidding but Pelosi, she is pure evil..God forbid she ever get into the White House
Two soldiers inside the compound reported there was an impact from the incoming fire.Guess someone's not a fan of Biden's association with the Iranian regime. Or possibly, one of Iran's proxies was give the order to remind Plugs just who he really works for. Thanks SonOfDarkSkies.
Pelosi is evil, but the really evil person behind her is Bambi (well, and his henchpersons).
I lived in SF for a number of years during the time when she got her start, and she’s dumb as a box of rocks but very aggressive and was always the darling of the radical Dems. Her husband is extremely well off and she has always been free to do her thing. However, she has no original ideas, and she has been the vicious sock puppet for Bambi/Emmanuel/[fill in the corrupt leftist of your choice] since day one.
Has anyone checked the golf course?
Obviously they were just being gentile with him.
(Sorry . . . too good to pass up.)
SoS Clinton said, “It’s nothing compared to dodging sniper fire.”
party pooper.
He wears those dark glasses makes hi look like a mafia don.

“This is a big effen deal” to quote.
Well now that is comforting....I think?
Obama celebrates July 4th at White House barbecue
With first lady Michelle Obama at his side, Obama spoke from a White House balcony overlooking the South Lawn.
Guests ate traditional July Fourth fare—hot dogs, hamburgers and grilled chicken with potato salad and corn on the cob. Plenty of red, white and blue decorated the South Lawn, from colorful tablecloths to paper lanterns hanging from trees.
Terrorist attack or friendly fire?
He functions as a sandbag.
Well, it doesn’t say anyone shot back.
Comic relief to the national horror show.
According to other comments on the thread, this kind of thing is still fairly routine there. No telling what the military response was. Just because the MSM doesn't report it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
LOLROTF...:)
Is that fly laying maggots?
Biden was there? Stop trying to cheer us up!
The perps probably didn’t like Biden’s “Neil Kinnock” speech..
LOL
The nearest golf course...
“The Terrs never messed with Dick Cheney, for a number of reasons I’d suspect..”
I suspect that it wasn’t the terrorists that fired at Biden.LOLOLOL
“Who did the shooting, our guys or the Taliban?”
Wrong country for the Taliban....LOLOLOL....so it must have been our guys! LOLOLOL
Where is Barry? Usually the VC-25s are in the air ferrying around his sorry self. If the Kenyan Post Turtle could constrain himself for a couple of days, then Plugs could have done what Cheney did in March of 2002 when he was jetsetting the M.E.
Otherwise, he is prolly on the C-32 which is painted up like tail # 28000 and 29000. In any case, I'm sure that their arrogance requires a clearing of the skies and rerouting of traffic. Simple computer modeling software pulling commercial traffic schedules from the intraweb could tell the bad guys that something is up and to go ahead and set up the rockets.
I wonder if President Soros is planning something evil for BiteMe?
Did the Gaffe-O-Matic have anything to say afterwards?
Wrong question? The more pertinent question is....when is his tee time?
Must’ve been our guys...Biden’s on their side...
Maybe they don’t have golf courses or basketball courts in the Green Zone. If they build them HE will come.
Too many sand traps for our duffer in chief!
My brother went and looked at the impact site this morning, he said they got close. Daily life in the “International Zone”. I asked him if everyone was all abuzz with his visit...my bro couldn’t stop laughing.
Biden’s so dumb he thinks they are celebrating his visit with July 4th fireworks.
It takes a high IQ to remember something like that. /s
They knew he would fire up his hurricane weather machine...
This must be the Benny Hill administration. Or maybe Obama is doing a W.C. Fields impression out on the golf course. Maybe he'll throw Biden in a pond.
Did he leave home to get away from his wife? Maybe hanging out with a bunch of Muslims is less healthy than staying home with an irritated wife:)
Benny Hill administration? LOL!
I can believe. Look at their national Anthem:

Now they are laughing at Obama for being weak.
Yeah, and when Plugs makes a gaffe, Obama chases him around the WH lawn slapping the top of his head, followed by Rahm Emmanuel, Axelrod, Michelle and the staff.
