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.”

Yes, and Yes. The only winner of the Iraq War was Iran.
Cut the head off the snake. If the assets have never found a superior alternative to Sadr, all the more reason to eliminate him, and then insert invisible hand in the reshuffle.

Hoorah (Hebrew for “he’s bad”)! More treasure and lives squandered for lack of sacred honor.
Semi-fascistically yours, Brandon, Stolen, Chaos Agent No. 69 (who finds new and creative ways to f@#$ everyone).
I thought young Muktada El Sadir had joined forces with Ali Sistani and became the dynamic duo of spiritual leaders, fighting Iranian influence. So much for that idea.
So Jo Jo! What ya gonna do now? Ice Cream?
Another example why not one foreign policy question was asked during the debates. Shitshow Joe is batting .1000.
Looks like the freshman team could go 0 for 2. It’s a pity
“Days of pro-Muqtada Sadr protests and unrest have reportedly.....”
Mookie is back and bigger than ever! He is the semi-retard son of a distinguished and famous Iraqi Shiite cleric.
All we managed to do in Iraq was switch the rulers from Sunni/Bathist/Saddam to the Shiites, who are aligned with the Shiite Iranians.
Benghazi 2.0?
It is a sure thing that a story will soon come out (then be suppressed) that the administration has been hearing warnings weeks. Probably in the daily Presidential briefs.
True to form, it just didn’t register in Joe’s mind.
With no one in charge, reports are not acted upon.
When no one actually has power, doing something would mean taking responsibility, sticking your neck out, and the reports didn’t fit “the narrative” so best not to be a troublemaker.
This was inevitable with our stupid idea to turn the invasion of Ukraine into a badly scripted soap opera instead of supplying the Ukrainians on the down low. and taking a nuanced tone. .
Israel has been very quite for these exact reasons and anyone who doesn’t think Iran and best buddy Russia don’t know exactly what they are doing, well, they need to just keep on swallowing the lies of our intelligence community/fake news
What is the status of the US ambassador? I’m asking in memory of J. Christopher Stevens.
Yet another failed effort to “spread democracy” in the Middle East...
Another evacuation coming soon.
This is an intra Shia dust up and the divide Iraq into Kurd/Sunni/Shia parts wouldn’t have worked. Brandon never gets anything right.
Another Neo-Con success story. /s
