Multiple Rockets Hit US Embassy in Iraq
Western Journal News ^ | January 28, 2020 | AP Reports

Posted on 01/28/2020 2:03:53 AM PST by Hostage

A nighttime rocket attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad injured at least one embassy personnel member, staffers there said Monday.

The two staff members, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media, did not specify the injured person’s nationality or the severity of their wounds.

They said the rocket slammed into a restaurant inside the embassy compound.

Violence between Iraqi security forces and anti-government protesters also continued to seethe overnight, with one protester shot dead in a violent crackdown in the country’s south.

Unrest was also ongoing in the capital Baghdad with fresh clashes near the central Khilani Square.

So we have bioweapons unleashing plague, deep state maneuvers to protect its own members, embassy attacks and more.

The bad actors making up the central complex are pulling out all the stops.

Not good. Pray for the safety of our embassy people.

They are an island surrounded by 7th century goat humpers that only want to kill Americans.

Nancy, Adam, Jerry and the other Democrat terrorist-supporting traitors must be cheering about now.

Nancy might crack her Botox with a smile.

CIA deep state needs dumpster fire to distract from “impeachment”

As international central banking grew with push for globalism, the international intel/spy groups were grafted into globalist bank settings as enforcers for central bankers. Enforcers of what? Enforce compliance of those in the CB funded network. CB dark off-book funding propped up international security services involving CIA, MI6 contractors and operatives worldwide.

I would edit your sentence replacing ‘CIA deep state’ with ‘international central bankers’ as they are the ones that have limitless funding at their disposal to pay others to get it done.

Look at the most recent attacks:

* Covington School bus hit head on
* Coronavirus bioweapon released to create plague
* Strange helo crash involving Kobe B (pilot was tops)
* Bolton book leak
* Rocket attacks in Baghdad

The timing of all these coincides remarkably with efforts to get Trump.

If they think the impeachment fare will help them they figure badly...it’s all over but the crying after Dershowitz last night.

OK, the first time they were unprepared - but should not have been...

Why in THE hell is there no Patriot (or whatever latest whiz-bang replacement) anti-air battery set up there NOW?

Maybe there is no defensive weapon to intercept simple mortar fire from the locals.

grobdriver’s “OK, the first time they were unprepared - but should not have been...Why in THE hell is there no Patriot (or whatever latest whiz-bang replacement) anti-air battery set up there NOW?” ....In both cases you got that right. Why is this the case ?

According to the article these were not mortar rounds, but rockets.

Patriot batteries were designed to intercept incoming rocket fire and missiles.

Israel has more recent stuff to use against rockets from their friendly neighbors - an obvious target like our embassy should have similar defenses, especially for round 2. They should have been flown in, with crews, the day after round 1.
