2023-10-18 Syria-Lebanon-Iran
THOUSANDS of protesters surround US embassy in Lebanon, with demonstrators hanging Palestinian flag
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Pointless exercise in the fresh air and sunshine, but presumably it gives them an outlet for their other frustrations.
  • Thousands of Lebanese protesters, some waving Palestinian flags, gathered late into Tuesday night outside the U.S. embassy

  • It comes just hours after a blast at a hospital in Gaza that Hamas claims killed at least 500 people

  • Israel's military denied responsibility for the bombing, saying military intelligence suggested the hospital was hit by a failed Hamas rocket launch

#2 Say nothing. Close the USEMBASSY immediately, bring everyone home. Terminate any financial or business associations.

#3 Why are our embassy gates not equipped with M134's and flamethrowers? Maybe Mk-19's too.

That'd make any wanna be Iranians in '79 a bit more eager to stay away.

#4 That's OK, Joey B is over there and on the job.
He'll go all 'corn pop' on them.

#5 Drive a bus out the gates with great fanfare, commotion and chase vehicles. Slide the real folks out in a nondescript school bus 15 minutes later. It worked in Road Warrior.
