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.
Yea...I thought of that too but thoughts of Pelosi next in Line makes me shudder and throw up. We oddly need Biden in the fray.
He gets to pick. He picks Hillary to make the ticket stronger in 2012. He also neutralizes her,at least he hopes,from running against him.
He is Effing off...at a BBQ
Vice President Joe Biden is in Iraq today for meetings with the troops, their commanders, and Iraqi government officials. In particular, Biden plans to meet with the top candidates in Iraq’s very tight race for prime minister.
President Obama, back from a brief trip to Camp David, welcomes military families to the White House tonight to eat barbecue and watch the annual Washington fireworks show.
Meanwhile, newly confirmed Afghanistan commander David Petraeus is in Kabul today to formally take command on the forces there. “We are in this to win,” Petraeus told U.S., NATO and Afghanistan officials. He also said: “This is a tough mission. There is nothing easy about it.”
Oh, that's going to open a can of worms. Either somebody's in big trouble or that's a case of infiltration in the ISF ranks.
Yea,right. Stay safe!
Interestingly, those rockets that the British were firing during this period of the "War of 1812" were acquired in India in 1799 when the British beat the Tipu Sultan. The British didn't have that technology at that point.
Could they try again?
No search was done according to the report.
He was thinking “WOW look these smart asses made me a fireworks display..AWESOME”
And the Tollybahn isn't in Iraq. They're in Afghanistan. ;-)
What you have in Iraq is “tribes”
And Pockeeestahn!
Hellfires from a predator?
I cringe when he says that. Of course, I cringe when he says almost anything. ;-)
Hey, hope you are well! Did Biden ask why they couldn’t just say something nice?
Hope everyone, including Joe, is OK.
What we have in Iraq is sand.
Our BBQ this afternoon was held during a low-level sand/dust storm.
Hey, it kept the temperatures down. Gotta love it.
Well, like me, you didn’t attend Hahvaahd Lawrrr Skull.;-)
I bet Bite-Me bit the dirt!!!
It is a sad state of affairs for our nation when anyone reading this instantly knows you are talking about the president, the commander in chief.
