What A Novel Idea - Ordering Embassy Staff Out Of Harm's Way Before Anyone Gets Killed...

[easyt65]

"The U.S. Embassy in Iraq confirmed Wednesday the State Department has ordered all non-essential, non-emergency government staff to leave the country immediately as tensions with neighbouring Iran increase.Employees from both the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and its consulate in Erbil will be affected by the order.

The alert, published on the embassy website, comes after Washington last week said it had detected new and urgent threats from Iran and its proxy forces in the region targeting Americans and American interests."


Hmmm....hearing about threats / potential future threats to Americans and then being pro-active in the name of safety to protect American lives. What a GREAT FREAKIN' IDEA!







Leave Now: U.S. Non-Essential Embassy Staff Ordered out of Iraq

Now imagine if the embassy staff went back anyways, got killed immediately, and Trump had the chance to send soldiers to die there for nothing. Then Democrats spend years investigating why he did or didn’t send troops to die for nothing there, pretending he should be in jail for it either way. Imagine if their Senate majority leader admitted it was all a plan to hurt Trump in the polls.

WRONG!!

The better move is to deny that there are any problems and refuse to aide any Americans until the shit-storm blows over....for political reasons.

Now imagine if .....

Had Hillary and Obama ordered everyone out when every other nation pulled their people out, 4 Americans would still be alive.

Had Hillary and Obama ordered everyone out after the 1st terrorist attack on the compound, 4 Americans would still be alive.

Had Hillary and Obama ordered everyone out after the 2nd terrorist attack on the compound, 4 Americans would still be alive.

This is all political chicken. Nothing will come of this. They know that the American people would not support a war with Iran at this juncture. They require something MUCH larger.

I think the point is the threats on Iraq from Iran.

Maybe Stevens knew too much. And that's why they sent him to a city that was under AQ control and refused to provide adequate security despite repeated pleas for help. Problem solved.

And those four Americans even requested an evac and were denied by the Hilda beast...what a nightmare the Obama 8 years were...

So, I hope someone in government actually took notes on what just happened....so the next time a Democrat takes over the WH and Americans in Embassies and remote compounds are threatened they will know what to do.

(Sorry, the response to this post was initially 'REPLIED' to the wrong person)

So who was actually running the State Department?

It sounds like - when you say stupid stuff like that - Stephens was running it. Of course, we all know if Stephens HAD been running the State Department he would never have had to ask repeatedly for more security - especially after the 2nd terrorist attack on the compound - and he would have NEVER reduced the number of security members art the compound AFTER it had already been proven in the 2nd terrorist attack on the compound that the compound was un-defensible.

Iran is not going to attack anyone. Yet, there is a very real possibility that you may waker up in the interim to find that a ship has been sunk or an aircraft downed with Iran being the 'culprit'.

1. Iran usually attacks others through 'surrogates'.

2. Iran has already attacked others. There are 3 ships off the coast of the UAE who were attacked / sabotaged as they passed through the Strait. Of course Iran denies it - you think for a second they would admit to it...especially after they have been threatening how they will control passage through the Strait?!

Iran's one of the smallest terrorists in the MidEast.

Iran might attack a US ship, but Israel has & thats cool.

Let me guess...you think THAT was the way Benghazi went down? Wow...

1-Who doesn't? Three fingers point back.

2-Would we want to admit funding organizations such as the "White Helmets" and the Free Syrian Army who are CURRENTLY engaged in the mass genocide of Christians in Syria?



This absurd idea that we interact in the region as some arbiter of peace and prosperity is just that.

That is an out and out lie! Shame on you! The blame for the four deaths lies at the feet of the terrorists who killed them and the Obama Administration who failed to protect them.

 

[depotoo]

You don’t think you will be called out for your outright lies? You are. That is a lie. In fact they discussed how they wanted it to look like things were under control there.

He was told the dangers and went anyways. Maybe if republicans hadn't spitefully blocked security funding for embassies things would have turned out different.

Trump ordering people out of Iraq is a ploy, anyways. The Iraqi government and our allies have all said there are no increased threats to our people there. Bolton wants war, Trump wants to look tough, and bluffing is Trump's favorite strategy.
