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

Pull the embassy out of Bagdad and move it north to the Kurdistan part of Iraq and let the factions in Bagdad kill each other,
The “embassy” in Iraq is a huge “At 104 acres (42 ha), it is the largest and most expensive embassy in the world, and is nearly as large as Vatican City.[2] The embassy complex is about five times the size of the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan, which is the second largest U.S. diplomatic mission abroad, and over ten times the size of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, which is the third largest U.S. diplomatic mission abroad.[3]”
Don’t forget the earthquakes in Puerto Rico and Turkey. ;-(
NK and Iran too :)
2 rockets hit the embassy and one person injured. What were they, bottle rockets? Maybe they hit nearby and blew out a window and someone got cut with flying glass?
Imagine if one hit Nancy’s Botox!!
The flying pieces could be dangerous!!
Well, Donald? Did you get them yet?
Actually, close to that would make sense. A batch of small, erratic rockets going all over the place would be difficult to intercept. Patriots are designed for Scuds and stuff like that.
In fact, upon a moment’s reflection, I should add “launched from nearby”
George Webb has stated his admiration for Biden. Careful
ping me when we respond with force
IMO, we should publicly warn that every time this sort of thing happens, casualties or not, we will take out a significant piece of Iranian infrastructure, chosen for high economic pain, and long repair time, but low casualties.
Then do it.

Or, every time, casualties or not, we destroy every Basij base, camp and barracks in a randomly selected major Iranian city, without warning.
Then let the population take care of business without the mercenary thugs to keep them down.
need a response or it will continue
My son was a Marine Security Guard at two embassies. They are sitting ducks if the local government doesn’t provide external security. We saw that earlier this month.
He also said he was a Bernie supporter in 2016.
But he uses this as disinformation.
It helps to lower the guard of leftists who might confide useful info.
In the past, he’s gone into DC bars and got drunk with government employees with loose lips to let go some inside info.
But all of his digs are Trump supportive.
A tree is known by its fruit.
True. Which makes me wonder why he could support Biden and the left even recently. You can see it pains him. Which you can see it in his face when he says Biden is doing something wrong. In today's episode you can see it. Now he is saying Bolton sold arms to Iran which I wouldn't doubt.
I'm not saying don't listen to him. I'm simply saying be careful
> “Which makes me wonder why he could support Biden and the left even recently.”
He’s not telling the truth. He’s putting out disinformation to his sources that are leftists.
He doesn’t want to be pigeon-holed as a rabid Trump supporter.
Webb has referred to himself before as the dyslexic stenographer, He gets a feed and he repeats it back. The feed sometimes involves people that are straight shooters but are inside leftist settings or having leftist families or social connections. They won’t be caught dead talking to Webb if Webb is an avowed Trump supporter.
In war, disinformation is necessary and at times critical.
It’s Ok to lie when involved in a counter-intel operation. It’s part of the weapon arsenal.
Susan Rice’s last memo to herself was to characterize the ‘Russia’ investigation as a counter-intel operation thereby giving certain actors a stay-out-of-jail free card if they got caught perjuring themselves. She was a CIA kid meaning her parents were CIA and she knew what was necessary to document to establish immunity from perjured statements, in order to lie and not be held to account.
So Webb lies to throw off being labeled a Trump agent. But Webb at one time worked for Rudy as an IT asset. When Rudy comes up in Webb’s videos, Webb turns rabid and snarling at Rudy as if Rudy should be hung by the neck until dead. But in truth, Webb is on the same team as Rudy.
Do Webb’s videos contain info of value? Yes, of course but he has to interject barbs at Rudy and others to assure the feeders who operate in leftist settings are protected.
Think of it as if you were going to work for James O’Keefe and he makes a secret agreement with you that he’s going to talk about you as if you are the worst form of scum in existence. It then makes it easier for you to keep your cover when you investigate as a double agent.Webb’s sources likewise need to keep a cover.
Our people need that. We may have it, I don't know...
