Donald Trump vows to hold Iran ‘fully responsible’ for attack on US embassy in Baghdad

FTA:
Security guards were seen retreating inside the embassy earlier on Tuesday as protesters hurled bottles and smashed security cameras outside the buildings.

Flames rose from the compound as furious rioters pressed up against the bullet-proof windows within the complex, taunting the US soldiers within and spraying pro-Hezbollah graffiti over the glass.

Half a dozen US marine guards fired warning shots from the rooftops, followed by tear gas and stun grenades, at rioters who set blazes and smashed up barricades on the ground.

Hundreds of angry protesters, many in military fatigues, set up tents outside the embassy and set fire to trailers used by security guards along the embassy wall.

Twenty people have been reported injured in the carnage.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi pleaded with the mob against any aggression towards foreign embassies and representations in Baghdad, asking protesters outside the U.S. embassy to leave ‘immediately.’

I’m thinking Benghazi, our last Middle East war, Iran capturing our embassy and, most of all, yesterday’s discussions over Trump and his defense team. My blood runs cold. We know what Bush would do now. Up the stakes. We know what Obama would do. Capitulate. Any New Year guesses on what Trump will do?
