“. It wasn’t yet clear who fired the rockets or who was targeted”

It may be unclear to the AP, but you can bet President
Trump kew who the target was. Or he wouldn’t have
pulled the trigger.

Yep - when President Trump comes right out and says his words are a threat to Iran, you don’t have to wait long to see it come true - caused a todo in the Market and with oil prices but that is just the knee-jerk nanosecond way to take some profits before settling back down...

Whatever was stored between those two guardrails sure wasn't a car!

‘Sources’ are claiming this used to be a car?

Just like the Israelies. They/we know the “secret” command posts, the cars, who the people are. So the day following an attack on us, the enemy can be crossed off the list.

And in a month, a year, two years, we can get the third in command. (We got #1 and #2 in this strike!)

I’ve always wondered about those terrorist guys. What do they REALLY feel when they get “promoted” to Number 1?

We are at war, and the US tried everything diplomatically and economically with Iran. Then Iran attacked our embassy in Iraq. 13 hours later this was our response.

This is how wars get curtailed. Get the other guy to not want to fight, or remove their ability to fight. It’s the only way it is done.

A Quds force general was hit some years ago in Turkey.

Iran general helped 9/11 plotters’ transit-report
Reuters ^ | 7/19/04 | Reuters
Posted on 7/19/2004, 10:33:39 AM by freedom44
DUBAI, July 19 (Reuters) - An Iranian general collaborated with al Qaeda to arrange the transit through Iran of nine of the September 11 hijackers, the Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported on Monday.
“A general in the apparatus (Revolutionary Guard) coordinated with the number two man in al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahri, to provide ‘safe passage’ to around nine of those who carried out the attacks,” the London-based paper said.
It cited as its source an official in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and said Zawahri, who requested the help, had links with the general going back to the early 1990s. ...

You guess wrong

The American military intelligence knew who and where and took action

Lack of faith in our capability is pathetic

I agree, we are at war. This is the new normal for wars, they are undeclared terrorist wars. This is a major win for our side and had to be done. Thankfully we had the the intelligence and Trump allowed the response. Unlike Clinton who let Bin Laden escape putting many soldiers at risk in the eventual attack at his compound.

Not Date-Setting...but a great read for what 2020 might bring.

Let’s all finish this race and be prepared to meet Him who is True!

Time to dust off this now golden oldie by Toby Keith

“Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue (The Angry American)”

American Girls and American Guys
We’ll always stand up and salute
We’ll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
‘Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see it clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey, Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it’ll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Oh, justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A
‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American way

Hey, Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it’ll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Oh, oh, of the Red, White and Blue
Oh, oh, of my Red, White and Blue

And probably some young USAF Captain sitting at a computer in either Whiteman AFB MO or Cannon AFB NM could tell you, also (as he squeezed the button on his controller).

“It may be unclear to the AP, but you can bet President

pulled the trigger.”

Killing your enemies’ leaders or not has been a topic of debate at Ft Myers/NSA,CIA and DOD for decades.

Those, who want never ending war, don’t want the enemies’ leaders kill.

Those, who want to stop the endless wars, say kill them and their replacements until the war from the enemies’ side stops.
