Developing: Baghdad collapsing as US embassy allegedly evacuated amide reports of gunfire casualties [VIDEO]
The Blue State Conservative ^ | 8/29/2022 | Haiely Sanibel

Posted on 08/29/2022 1:48:30 PM PDT by SaxxonWoods

In a video eerily reminiscent of both the disastrous, chaotic pullouts in Kabul and Saigon, unconfirmed footage suggests major evacuations are taking place in Iraq’s capitol city after the Green Zone was allegedly breached by gunmen.

ZeroHedge was early to the story, reporting:

“Days of pro-Muqtada Sadr protests and unrest have reportedly resulted in Baghdad’s high secure Green Zone being breached Monday, placing international diplomatic missions and foreign embassies under threat.

AFP is reporting that an exchange of gunfire has been observed as dozens or possibly hundreds of supporters riot, with police using riot control measures like water cannons to repel an attack on the Green Zone. There are unconfirmed reports that the sprawling and iconic Iraqi Republican Palace has been forcibly breached with protesters inside.”

Were they better off with Saddam? Were WE better off with him there?

It was confirmed (White House) we were NOT evacuating which means we ARE evacuating.

What’s crazy, as as far as I understand, is Sadr is the “moderate” in this brewing Civil War. Mission Accomplished, Brandon.

We were much better off, Saddam kept Iran and Islamic radicals in check.

Why bring a water cannon to a gunfight?? Wouldn't an "exchange" of gunfire mean that both sides were using firearms? Can any news reporters write clearly anymore?

Bet the game to watch for World Cup will be Sunni vs. Shia.

Brazil, Argentina, France, Britain, Germany, meh, not that exciting in comparison.

Excellent questions. For quite a while, I have been asking myself if Saddam’s execution was justified.
