IT’S 1979 ALL OVER AGAIN: Assad Loyalists Storm U.S. Embassy In Damascus.

UPDATE: More here: “Obama had better act quickly to make clear to Assad that this kind of attack won’t be tolerated. The last thing Obama needs now is yet another parallel to the Carter administration in a sacking of a Middle East embassy by ‘students.'”

Well, if Obama wants an excuse to bomb Syria, he’s got his act of war. But as eager as he seemed to be to bomb Libya, he appears to be looking for excuses not to bomb Syria, even though it’s an Iranian ally and major enemy of Israel.
