"The Iraq presidential palace was stormed by angry protestors on Monday,
while the U.S. 
Embassy was evacuated by helicopter in a scene
reminiscent of the last days of South Vietnam.
Initial reports are that the helicopters were ordered in and the
staff ordered out when rioters breached the Zone. I also saw a report
that one person had been shot and killed, but no clue whether they were
American, American staff, or a rioter.
That’s pretty much all we know so far about the situation at the embassy.
This marks the Biden Administration’s second humiliating bugout from
an Islamic country in just over a year. 13 Americans were killed in
Kabul during Biden’s botched retreat from Afghanistan
on August 17. Untold hundreds of Americans and thousands of our allies
remain stranded there." PJM
