Sometimes You just gotta say, 'This one's for you, Chappie...'

We admit our heart sank when we saw the news about the storming of our embassy in Baghdad yesterday by Kateb* Hezbollah. We're just barely old enough to remember the Iranian Hostage Crises and we feared a Benghazi redux. 

But as the day went on the news got better. Kateb Hezbollah only breached the outer wall. The US Marines stood firm because, well, they're US Marines. A 100 man Marine quick response unit arrived, and by evening we were treated to footage of Apache gunships in the air. 

We're not going anywhere. A great day for Trump. A great day for America.

Where are the Marines? Trump asked and Obama didn't.

Yesterday afternoon Trump was promising quick retaliation against Iran. Sink an oil platform, Mr. President. Pop that Spencer Davis Group tape in the player and do it tonight.
*We checked with our Arabic source, Sarah Abed, and she says Kateb means writer.
