Protesters climb U.S. Embassy walls in Cairo
[Updated at 5:38 p.m. ET]Â Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and tore down the American flag, apparently in protest of a film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed.
A volley of warning shots were fired as a large crowd gathered around the compound, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene, though it is not clear who fired the shots.
Egyptian police and army personnel have since formed defensive lines around the facility in an effort to prevent the demonstrators from advancing farther, but not before the protesters affixed their standard atop the embassy.
The black flag, which hangs atop a ladder inside the compound, is adorned with white characters that read, "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger," an emblem often used in al Qaeda propaganda.
It was unclear which film upset the protesters.

So much for summer of Schmoozing.
So...who still wants to liberate Syria.
let's spread democracy.....they will greet us with open arms...Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld
"It's an Arab Spring"- CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC/HUFFPO/NYT/OBAMA/BIDEN/PELOSI/REID
Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld ?
The fact is... Both Bush and Rumsfeld were just puppets manipulated by Cheney.
Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Obama/Biden/Panetta... etc, etc, etc...
Why is it...
That when...
The democracy we advocate...
produces an Islamic State...
because that's what the population chooses in a free election...
we are no longer happy?
You conveniently forgot to add Obama to that list, but as a liberal I know you are engineered to do that.
really? They think there's been an insult so they resort to violence?
so does that mean we should kick them out..?
Lets just stop all aid and get completely out of the arab/muslem countries and start deporting the ones we got here. These retro-beast are never going to be human.
I would not have fired a warning shot. Just bar the building. Let them have the court yard to have their freedom of speech. Make that announcement. The US allows freedom of speech, please don't destroy any property, we welcome our guest. This is an important idea that we must put forward to this particular group. They biggest dream is to have guards kill some one so they can point their fingers and say I told you so.
Secretary of State Clinton, under Obama's leadership, has done more harm around the world than good! This Administration is indecisive at best.
Just another example of this failed administration.
Wait, the Religion of Peace? What happened?!?!?
When our Government stops intervene into domestic policy of every nations and keep their nose in domestic policy within US and take all measures necessary to eliminate human rights violation that we have here and stop preaching about human rights violations abroad, this type of madness won't happen.
time to drop a battalion in egypt and shoot whoever attacks it. should net a couple hundred thousand more of these d-bags.
Why do people go ape sh!t over NOTHING???? I am so sick and tired of Muslim greviences!!!! I am sick and tired of them Islamizing everything in their path! These people are horrible!!! Maybe if they had jobs, or something more to do during the day, they would be less likley to COMPLAIN and KILL and DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!!!
That is exactly the reason behind the uprising in Egypt in the first place. Lack of jobs and opportunity. Now they still have neither, but don't have the government to focus on anymore so the the fundamentalists have directed the angst toward there favorite target; Us. This is not a grass roots protest it is islamic astroturfing.
Americans are idiots for kissing Islamic butt.
The Prophet Mohammed is a piece of crapola and so are his followers......they should also be dispatched......
