As Twitchy told you earlier, pro-Iran militants stormed the American Embassy in Baghdad:
UPDATE: Iraqi protesters have got a little way inside the US embassy in Baghdad. They’re setting fires. Video by @Mustafa_salimb pic.twitter.com/mt5gHeUB9G

Progressive veterans’ group VoteVets.org — who brags in their Twitter bio that they’ve been blocked by Donald Trump — can barely contain their excitement at the prospect of Trump facing his own Benghazi:
Hey @POTUS remember you’re Benghazi rants during 2016?
You’re about to have your own one unfortunately in Iraq. https://t.co/mpMKZLzvjk

Because what’s going on in Iraq is basically the same thing that happened in Benghazi in 2012.
Objectively: Details in these two cases are fortunately much different, to say the least. https://t.co/AKOGDnYuEN

To say the very least.
This time, the call was answered. Not rejected.

Except for the part where re-enforcements are being sent to the embassy and nobody is blaming it on a YouTube video https://t.co/oyaNWb9LZE

Besides the fact that the ambassador hasn’t been murdered & dragged thru the streets, that the protests haven’t been blamed on a YouTube video but rather on the violent demonstators themselves & their foreign backers, & that dozens of reinforcements were quickly sent — yep. Same. https://t.co/fYxzcxyQom

And how. Anyone else find it disturbing that this group is so stoked about Americans’ lives being in danger?
With military members in danger, what a terrible hot take from a "Vets" group. ? https://t.co/4CmSsg1OmK

No big deal. Just a "veterans group" hoping for our troops and embassy personnel to die because Orange Man Bad. https://t.co/mzRI430f71

This isn't a football game. Stop rooting against American lives. Those are our brothers and sisters.

Ghoulish to celebrate a potential disaster.
