once inside the compound, protesters tore down the american flag and burned it. the protests come just a day after demonstrators stormed the consulate in benghazi, libya, and killed a u.s. ambassador along with three other people. in reaction to the killings the president ordered 50 elite marines to the region to help restore order inside u.s. installations in that country and the president sent two warships off the coast of libya. they're equipped with tomahawk cruise missiles. they are waiting for orders. and in cairo, riot police around the embassy there had to fire tear gas at protesters several times to disperse the crowd. they responded with rocks. tuesday night protesters in egypt climbed the u.s. embassy walls and burned the american flag there. another possible problem, egypt is operating under a new government. >> i don't think we would consider them an ally but we don't consider them an enemy. they are a new government that is trying to find its way. >> reporter: we're going to show you, this is a live picture of the streets of cairo. the embassy's webs

the american embassy was involved. i mean, why were there not more egyptian security forces there to prevent them scaling the walls and burning the american flag? >> my guess is they have a plan to respond to this, but they're just not as efficient as we might expect in the west. as somebody mentioned earlier, you've had attacks on different embassies across cairo in the past months. the security services have gone through great disarray since the change in government so they might not have been prepared for this. i'm guessing it also happened very quickly. >> it seems certainly from what ian was reporting that was the case. ed, what about what a lot of americans may ask as a result of this? is which is until america understands who is in charge and what they stand for, given the question marks in cairo, also in libya, how does the u.s. go ahead, giving $1.5 billion in military in aid every year to egypt? most of that is military aid. >> i think one of the important reasons here that the relations between the egyptian government and the current government under muhammed morrissey and the white house and the state department and the congress is
