As the funeral for Qasem Soleimani began Saturday, two blasts were heard throughout Baghdad. It turns out that a rocket attack took place on the heavily fortified Green Zone which houses the United States embassy, The Jerusalem Post reported.
According to Reuters , the Iraqi military revealed that the rockets also fell in the city's Jadriya neighborhood and the Balad air base, which houses American troops.
“Several rockets targeting Celebration Square and the Jadriya area in Baghdad, and the Balad air base in Salahuddin province, with no loss of life. Further details to come,” the Iraqi military said in a statement.

The embassy on Friday urged all Americans to leave Iraq immediately
“Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, the U.S. Embassy urges American citizens to heed the January 2020 Travel Advisory and depart Iraq immediately. U.S. citizens should depart via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land,” it said in a statement.

If only Trump had been impeached, this wouldn’t have happened.
Turn Iran to glass.
Yup! Just as the democommies predicted. How did they know? Little collusion going on here?
Well, Qasem is still dead.
...and then there were many more funerals of senior Iranian officials.
Hiroshima was insufficient. We followed up with Nagasaki. Because some folks are slow learners.
No doubt they were launched from behind a fortified wall of skirts and teeter-totters.
All we really have to do is take out their nuclear power plant and they are in darkness and that ends their nuclear program also.
It’s time to flatten every known or suspected Iranian base in Iraq.
All of them.

They hit near the embassy? That means what?
Amen! Worth repeating.
So what’s new. This has been going on for years. Maybe. The left and their media masters have finally awaken to the evil that lurks out there.
The funeral would be a good opportunity to identify and pick out targets.
Its way past time to take out a couple of oil refineries. Just for grins.
Too bad the rockets didn’t land on the funeral procession. That would have been awesome!
