If this is an attack on our embassy, they'll find George Bush's response somewhat different from the one they learned to count on from Clinton.

Prayers up for embassy personnel.
I assume they have Marine guards?

Thanks for the pretense, punks. You just went ahead and made our day. It's time to throw out Baby Assad with the Ba'athwater.

CNN INt'l didn't have much more info. Area where embassy is also seems to house many high-ranking Syrian officials.

As of the time of this post, this story has not appeared on any of the main cable news networks e.g. Fox, CNN, MSNBC. Just prepackaged 9/11 remembrance stuff.

CNN: Embassy guard tells news agency the "embassy is under attack."

British ambassador says he heard gunfire as little as 15 minutes ago.

Black smoke seen rising. I' take a wild guess and say fuel burning. Maybe a car-bomb or other explosions has ignited fuel in parked cars? Just guessing.
