We need some good news in Breaking/Frontpage.

Marines went hand-to-hand with remaining rioters.

Oh, how proudly she waves over the embassy in Kharthoum.

Time to play the Star Spangled Banner somewhere to honor these folks...

To anyone listening in Langley/Pentagon:

Time to re-inforce the folks in embassies ESPECIALLY Khartoum.

The Muslims may come back in larger numbers next time.

SUGGESTION: Have forces en-route to Khartoum and Tunis...

Should have already happened, but with this administration, no telling...

We need to start piling these goathumpers up by the truckload. The only thing they understand is lethal force. It’s time to use it around the world and here at home against these savages.

There were some drones that appeared in Libya. There are probably folks at Langley and Pentagon that are ready to press the button provided the White House okays that.

The drones may help to keep things (in a limited sense) under control.

But the Marines and others are needed on the ground to protect embassies. It is not clear with other things can be protected (schools, etc).

The The Green Movement (Environmentalists) want fewer humans so they should welcome carnage in the Middle East

How about the Marine Corps Hymn?

Here's the website of the Marine Embassy Guard Association.

True. True. True.

But they did what they did for Old Glory the American Flag.

Of course, in the first line of the hymn is: the shores of Tripoli which is in Libya...

So they have been fighting in this part of the world for almost as long as the US existed.

From your lips to Patton’s ears. Wish like hell he were still around, instead of the current overly-politicized PC-addled flunkies who call private citizens and ask them to relinquish their 1st Amendment rights. Poor ol’ George must be a-spinnin’ in his grave!

A couple more Marines should even the odds.

The MSM and Obama admistration are calling them protesters.

IF we had done this the first time, we probably wouldn’t be dealing with this situation today. The only thing these terrorists understand is violence.

Ithought the Marines were required to use feather dusters, like in Cairo. Well, guns, but unloaded ones you know.

Guess that ambassador in Khartoum decided getting sexuallu abused and killed didn’t sound so fun. And Marines unleashed turn out to be kinda nasty.

Now they need to send the Sudanese government a set of mensurated coordinates for the Merowe Dam spillway along with a note stating that we have the means. Don’t give us a motive.

Who is going to start the pool for how long it takes for Obama to apologize?
