You can tell that the Obama administration’s legacy in the Middle East is in danger because the media, as the self-appointed janitors of that legacy, have gone into overdrive obfuscating the timing, context, and significance of this week’s attack on the United States embassy in Baghdad. Although President Donald Trump has gone a long way to dismantling Obama’s legacy in the region, much more remains to be done, including a halt to American taxpayer money that has been flowing into Iranian-controlled governments in Iraq and Lebanon.
Earlier this week Iran-backed militias stormed the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, chanting “Down, down USA!†and hurling water bottles and smashing security cameras. The attackers breached parts of the embassy and were only disbursed the next day, after Trump deployed Marines to ensure the safety of our embassy personnel and property.
The attacks have been building for months, including roughly a dozen attacks on U.S. assets by these militias and American retaliatory strikes against five locations in Iraq and Syria belonging to the Iranian-backed Kata’ib Hezbollah. The group represents an ongoing replication of the “Islamic revolutionary model†that Iran first “exported†to and “perfected†in Lebanon in the early 1980s.

Initial US MSM reports called them "mourners" and "protesters". Kind of like the US MSM called the Benghazi attackers "protesters".
As another thread suggests, true mistakes have more or less random effects. And those who made them learn from mistakes when their mistakes are revealed. "Mistakes" that all point in - or away from - the same direction are agendized deception.

...and were only disbursed the next day....
:banghead:
Did they pay them, or did they scatter them? If the latter, they were dispersed.
Been seeing that one a lot lately...

Yeah, that stuck out at me too. The Federalists proof reader was asleep at the switch.

What strikes me kind of odd, that these are 9-5 terrorist attackers.
Hmmm....

HEY! Cut them a little slack! Since they promote AA,it's only logical they would have some AA editors with "Chelsea degrees".

We have been paying the Iraqi's to be our friend since the fall of Saddam. And they could have stopped at "The media is lying."
