Investigations are underway and we are in close contact with host country law enforcement,” the embassy said in a statement on X.

Gunmen, huh?

Gee. I wonder just what religious/political affiliation these gunmen might be?

I can understand the Lebanon Armed Forces helping with the attack. But the Israel Security Forces operating openly in Beirut?

So it begins.
Our enemies know our “leaders” have no spine. Weakness is present in all branches of our government, and they see from now until Jan. ‘25 as their window.
Gird your loins, folks.

If it was just small arms fire then it was a test to probe how we would respond.

That was the Reagan Administration. He let them kill our men with only a weak response.

Is that the new embassy? It’s supposed to be a well fortified, elevated, multi-level complex. But I don’t think it opened yet.

Our Blinken Idiot is a superb fool. Today, along with this we are hearing the the EU was issued an Altima to give Turkery full EU membership or they will join Brics.... China is now supporting Russia. Thailand to Brics.

And then the St. Petersburg Russia conference for Brics will have 180 countries in attendance.
