Well? The French have just out-macho'd the US, and are thus further away from war than the US. And this is an act of war right out of a textbook. What now?

Don't worry - Obama is on the phone RIGHT NOW to get advice from Jimmy Carter on how to handle this!
By the way, does this answer any questions about why Israel doesn't want to surrender the Golan Heights?

OUR embassy is OUR turf (even if it is only the size of a postage stamp) in that country!!
Same with our embassy anywhre else or THEIR embassy HERE! You’d be nailed to the nearest fence with rail road spikes if you even TOUCHED THEIR embassy!!!
Our embassy is our sovereign turf and we have a right and DUTY to defend it. The French did the right thing, too bad Americans don’t know how this stuff works!
Our dimplomatic service, I see, is dummied-down right along with the rest of our society. NOW everybody is at ‘zero’ efficiency!!! ...and at ‘zero’ intelligence!

Another hostage crisis coming??
"A television station that is heavily influenced by Syrian authorities encouraged this violent demonstration," the State Department said in a statement
Totally owned and controlled by the regime no doubt.... "heavily influenced" is weasel words

Some observers, however, question why US embassy security did not - as French security officers did - use live ammunition to protect the embassy themselves. Because they didn't breach the sanctuary. Had they done that, they would've been met by a Marine Security Guard detachment issuing out buckshot via Remington 870P shotguns in large quantities.

Yet again, Hillary Clinton demonstrates that she is the worst secretary of state ever. This is just another bungled oversight by Hillary over the state department, which either should never have allowed the US Ambassador to go travelling around to incite anti-government opinions, or beefed up embassy security and issued shoot to kill orders to defend the compound.
And Obama for having absolutely no clue in his job of Present and not taking the slightest oversight over the State Department.

Remember the bad old days before B.O. when the world didn’t love us so much because of President Bush?
Glad to see Obama fixed that.

Obama, in a rare off-teleprompter remark, was overheard to say, "Assad, why can't you control your state media and thugs as effectively as I control mine?"

If we didn’t go to war with Iran for a worse act under Carter, what’s the likelihood we’re going to consider this casus belli with Syria during the tenure of an Oval Office occupant that makes Carter look like an American hero?
