It destabilized the iraqi regime and made a perfect opportunity for protestors carrying iranian flags to "storm" the us embassy. Making us look even weaker and feckless on the international stage than we somehow are.

How were those protestors so effective? It's like they were organized, aided, and ready.

The embassy, the most secure on the planet, is in the green zone - a heavily fortified and patrolled area of the city. Nobody gets in without being screened and searched. Yet hundreds somehow got not only to the embassy, but atop it and inside it.

How the hell did that happen?
