U.S. Marines thwart attack on embassy in Syria

The Syrian government retaliated against our ambassador going to Hama recently to encourage protestors by creating an artificial mob, arming it with projectiles (fruits and vegetables), and sending it to the American embassy.  The professional mob sprayed graffiti, raised the Syrian flag on our flagpole, and destroyed some windows and security cameras.

Every American embassy around the world is protected by Marine Corps Embassy Security Guards.  These Marines prevented the mob today from breaking into the vital parts of the compound.  Not to sound jingoistic, but don't mess with our Marines.
