Iran fires rockets at Iraq base hosting American troops

That's how a great leader handles it, eh. America is under attack by a foreign nation that is purportedly responding to what they view as an act of war committed by the US, but hey, no one has been killed (unconfirmed, of course), so the American people can just watch the news and wait.

Winning!

 

Probably?? For a s***hole in the middle east. Here's an idea we could just leave let them continue to fight among themselves and save our friends and family from death for an unwinnable war

 

By blowing up a general of a nation we aren’t at war with?

 

when Iran is actively plotting with militia forces in Iraq to hit US targets, it kinda makes our wish for no wars irrelevant. Regardless of what we wanted, this is a threat that we should have dealt with a decade ago. Iran wanted to push us, and now we will push back.

 

He ran on that and part of the reason he beat the war monger Clinton .
Truth is as long as we stay there these attacks will never stop. With each one running the risk of more war and greater war .

I cannot celebrate any of this as a vet of war and what it entails for those involved , the Americans serving.

We cant stop losing our finest Americans until we get the hell out of the tribal ME with its 7th century mentality.

Iran is no threat to Americans unless we are over there in their lands.

Let these muslims kill one another and bring our people home. If any nation from there attacks our nation as the japs did congress declares war and we destroy that nation. Blow it back to the stone age and let those left alive form a new govt and rebuild it without our elites making a cent on it. No money for our elites will stop them affecting policy that enriches them .

Remember the no bid contract for Halliburton to rebuild iraq?


So unlike many here I take no joy in any of this and I doubt many vets do. For us it is not some video game.

 

Maybe this will be the time to get out. Show them who's boss in the biggest way yet then pack up and go home.

 

It sounds like it was just a show. It doesn't look like any major response is needed.

 

Yep, until Obama arrived on the scene, Carter was the worst president in a hundred years. In descending order of leftist crappiness I place Obama and then Carter and then Wilson -- as in Woodrow.

 

Get real. Iran has been at war with us since the '70's.

 

Thank you!! Your spot on

 

they’ve supplied the weapons that have killed US troops for at least 15 years now. That General was head of an organization we labeled as a terrorist organization, so yes, we most certainly were at war with them.

 

Two ballistic missiles hit Erbil, sources say

From CNN's Hamdi Alkhshali

At least two ballistic missiles hit two separate areas in Erbil, two Kurdish security officials tell CNN.

The attacks occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Iraq.

One missile landed inside the perimeter of Erbil International Airport without exploding, the second missile hit an area 33 kilometers (about 20 miles) west of the city of Erbil without causing casualties.​

Here's hoping Iran's attacks don't prove more effective than that.

 

And we've been meddling in their crap since at least '53

 

For good reason.

 

We weren't at war because it hadn't been declared. Besides, Trump is always saying he doesn't want war, and he said he killed the general to stop a war, not start a war. So no, we were not at war with Iran when Trump stupidly ordered the assassination of that general and those with him.

 

There would be nothing for them to hit I we weren't still in that hell hole......

Funny I've never in my personal life talked to an average Joe who wants to be in the middle east yet we just don't leave

 

Ya oil right? Guys in DC should tell citizens of Iran who they can vote for, it's the democratic way right?

 

Have you noticed that the only hand wringing over that s.o.b.'s death on the entire Earth is being done by the -D? There's been nary a chirp from any of the bad guys like Russia, China, etc. Very telling indeed.

 

Yes oil! You have a problem with that?

 

Seems the swamp has talked Trump into staying. Rather than drain the swamp, Trump has become it.

 

The song from the Beach Boys almost sounds like it We could use it as out battle cry ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯



Bomb bomb Iran

 

Would you if were told that leaders of another country were going to decide who ruled your life?

 

You just haven't been paying attention.

Moscow, not surprisingly, has reacted negatively to Washington’s announcement that Iranian Quds Brigade Commander, General Qasem Soleimani, was killed in Baghdad in a US drone attack. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, “agreed that US actions have the potential to seriously aggravate the situation in the region.” Other Russian officials have made similar statements. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted that “the killing of a representative of a government of a sovereign state, an official, these actions are completely devoid of any legal basis.”​

 

It doesn't work like that.

 

Not going to happen.
