Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera's senior political analyst, said that the embassy storming is indicative of Iraqis' rejection of US influence in their country.
"In terms of the United States, here is a country that has spent trillions of dollars in Iraq 16 years after its invasion and occupation to wins the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, . . The 'surrealistic' events on the ground has forced the US to go "on the defensive", Bishara added, where it "doesn't have much of an alliance either on the street or government institutions within Iraq."
