PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti — A group of suspected Haitian gang members fired this week on American forces protecting the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, a spokesman said Saturday, in an incident that highlighted the tense security situation in the Caribbean nation.

Capt. Steven J. Keenan, a spokesman for the U.S. Marines, wrote in an email that the shooting, which came to light this weekend, happened Thursday, adding that the Marines returned fire. No Marines were hurt in the attack.

I don’t know why we have an embassy in that failed state. They offer no value to the US.

'Nuke it from orbit’ would be a fitting response. Follow the brown sludge streak in the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean and it will take you directly to Port-au-Prince.

Not a smart idea. Imagine a fellow gang member telling their buddies, "hey, wake up, we have to go exchange some gun fire with marines".

Might be a good day to call in sick.

I never get tired of that Godzilla video.
