In Aukar, at the northern edge of Beirut, U.S. military helicopters fly past a U.S. embassy security position at the former U.S. Embassy which was bombed in the '80s as Americans are helped by U.S. Marines to be evacuated.

Nice to see that they are properly equipped at that "former" embassy. If the "former" embassy has a Ma Duece heavy machine gun and a medium machine gun, nicely sited too, what does the current embassy have? Claymores and TOWs?

Notice the "poor" Pali "refugee" kids taking pictures of the "Brave", somewhat over-aged looking, Warriors in their Black Bedsheets,

WITH THEIR CELL PHONES!
