I expect those rocket launchers and crews to be vaporized by now, 3:13PM EST.

The rocket landed in a park, “less than a mile” from the embassy. In other words, a poorly guided rocket was fired into Iraq’s densely populated capital city with no regard for the Iraqi’s living and working there.

I just finished reading a history on the Flying Tigers. One of the pilots one was coming in to strafe an airfield, and he noticed that a group of 20 tightly clustered enemy soldiers firing at him. He redirected his aircraft to the crowd and noticed that they either took a prone position and remained there, or they “disbursed”.

The left and their media masters have finally awaken to the evil that lurks out there.****

They are still blaming it on Trump, and insisting (Pelosi et al) to be given heads up before more actions by Trump so they can warn Iran.

Remember we have at least three unapologetic supporters of Hamas Hezbollah CAIR and other terrorists/terror groups in the House of Representatives.

One (Omar) said Allah Akbar and Life is Good (meaning death of innocents is good) after the Benghazi attack by their terrorist friends.

Not the first time this has happened. Probably not the last.

“What does hit *near* the embassy mean?’

Apparently, it’s “less than a mile,” whatever that is.

.....”My guess is this is probably part of the already planned assault”....

I’ve been leaning that way as well...I believe Suleimanni’s plans were wide and broad had he not been taken out....and I doubt the Ayattollah would scrap these, although he may wait for a time.

As we know the Islamic militants see themselves as martyrs who view confrontation with the U.S. and also Israel as a race to meet their God....that their purpose of life is to create chaos and violent cnfrontations....and these they certainly welcome. (How be it most are pumped up with drugs in order to carry out their missions.)

In January 2019 it was reported that the United States will purchase two Iron Dome batteries for 373 million dollars. The batteries will be deployed to protect US armed forces in hostile areas of operation.[119] The order is for two command posts and radars, 12 launchers, and 480 missiles[120] and was finalized in August 2019.[121]

Still kind of hoping he was on Soleimani’s lap and that a date picker will find the chin 80 feet away and 30 feet up, stuck on the thorn of a date palm. :-D

I can hear the mullahs now:

You said if we do this, Trump would cry like a little girl.

You said if we do that, Trump would run like a school boy.

You keep saying these things and each time you are wrong. So here is what we say, you are a spy for Trump and are giving us bad intel and we kill spies.

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.

The mess that would cause would be catastrophic.
