Quote from article: "In Iraq, several suicide drones were launched at the Ain al-Asad air base..."

So, what the heck is a 'suicide drone'? A 'drone' is a mechanical flying machine, remotely flown, is it not? 'Suicide' is the act of killing oneself intentionally. A 'drone' is not conscious, nor self-aware. It, therefore, cannot intentionally kill itself. Would the drone not have been suicidal if it had received counseling? Poor, misguided drone! </sarc>

I do wish that 'journolists' would learn English! Is that too much to ask?

Seriously, I am glad there were no injuries. Perhaps the US needs to 'take the fight' to these terrorists, like Israel is doing with Hamass.

Good question.

Perhaps the US needs to station its army along the Rio Grande and in the Sonoran Desert, with a few regiments at Rouses Point and I-87, and tell the Iraqis and Syrians to run their own countries.

A “live DJ” is the suicide drone’s brother.

a cheap one-way drone, which doesn't return to base
