At 4:00 p.m. (EST) Feb. 02, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups. U.S. military forces struck more than 85 targets, with numerous aircraft to include long-range bombers flown from United States. The airstrikes employed more than 125 precision munitions. The facilities that were struck included command and control operations centers, intelligence centers, rockets, and missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicle storages, and logistics and munition supply chain facilities of militia groups and their IRGC sponsors who facilitated attacks against U.S. and Coalition forces.

I can tell you aren’t American. No American would refer to our troops that way. Go back to wherever you came from.

Thank God, Trump is on the way. If only Israel and the rest of the ME can hold out long enough before the crazed neocon warmongers blunder us into a regional war. As insane as is sounds, the DC maniacs are on the verge of something almost biblical. They are about to unite the Persians, Turks, Saudis, Iraqis, Syrians, Egyptians and others for the first time. United, against America! These neocons will be responsible for the destruction of Israel. Trump negotiated peace all over the area, no double dealing or ethnic cleansing needed.

That’s fine, but President Trump supports Israel’s war 100 percent. As I said, President Trump has a Jacksonian foriegn picy. He wants 5he troops out of thier, and agree 100 percent. But if our troops were attacked under him, the response would happen quickly, and without warning. Right now, we have weakness, and interventionist at the same time. It should be a light footprint and the promise of overwelming force if attacked.The neo- con strategy is to fight half assed wars everywhere

Only a neocon stooge of the globohomos, like you, would advocate putting our boys in these illegal bases. They are beyond being able to be protected as just evidenced. Trump knew that. That’s why he tried to get them out but your traitorous pals in the Pentagon blew him off. They serve no military purpose other than to serve as trip wires to start another unnecessary war. You bloodthirsty neocons couldn’t care a fig about our boys. You leave them there to die in order to start a regional war. You are an American unfortunately. You and your bloodthirsty DC fellow travelers are fearfully all too American. You’re the American with the blood of a million mostly innocent Arabs on your hands already. Can’t your bloodlust ever be satiated?

Israel was sneak attacked on Oct. 7th. Hamas wants to destroy Israel. I think Isreal is being cautious. Wars should be fought like we fought I’m World War 2. We bombed Dreseden and Tokyo into rubble.Some would have accused us of war crimes. War is hell, as General Sherman said.

Tokyo and Berlin couldn’t bomb America into rubble. You do realize the Iranians have the capability to level Israel as effectively as dropping 10 megatons on them. Yes, Israel does have the Sampson Option in that eventuality but that’s not the way I assume they want to go. Israel will disappear before Iran does in an all out war. Just look at the map. You fought in WWII? Good Lord, how old are you?

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that U.S. military forces struck a total of seven facilities used by Iran-linked militias.

“Three of the facilities are in Iraq. Four of them are in Syria,” Kirby said.

So 7 locations were struck.

Go back to whatever pond you crawled out of.

I’m using examples. You are shrill in accusing Israel of War crimes. We just all put levled stuff in World War 2. You can’t fight a war halfway.

Israel is too small to be defensible. It has no strategic depth, being sandwiched between the Jordan and the Med.

Israel is only about 270 miles long with a maximum width of about 75 miles.

Modern rocket artillery, like the HIMARS, can reach any point in Israel from outside its borders.

Again, you take no responsibility for advocating putting those young men out there to die. It’s nothing to you. Just more sacrificed on your neocon altar. You’re probably still proud of the 15,000 American boys killed in your murderous neocon crusade to save us all from Saddam’s yellow cake. The hate for those responsible who watched those boys die for nothing but lies runs very deep. A neocon jerk like you couldn’t care less. Bugger off.

When you look at the Iranian missile inventory you see they can easily overwhelm the Iron Dome and have enough left to bounce the rubble a few times.

Such anger. You should talk to someone about that. You really come across as an unhinged ruskie. Tamp that down a bit, ok Ivan?

Useless gesture. Trying to look strong but not jump us into war. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Joint Chiefs gave Iran a “heads-up” so they could get senior officers/operators out of harm’s way before the strikes. (Milliey Doctrine)

Bring the troops home.

3 National Guard troops killed for no reason.
