Iraq is a geographical location and not a country at this point, and is made up of an Arab Shiite majority, Arab Sunnis, Kurds, and some statistically insignificant minorities like Chaldean Christians, Yazidis, Mandeans, and about 3 Jews. The Iraqi Shiite politicians are mostly agents of Iran. They don’t even care about their kin, the Ahwazi Arab Shiites, who are being persecuted in IRan, and who celebrated the death of Sulemani. These Arab Shiite politicians have now voted to expel the US from Iraq.

An American leftist stranger in the supermarket produce section would take your American eyes out with a knife if given the chance.

Katyusha rockets, 81 year old design. Not the most accurate.

Katyusha rocket launchers, which were invented in Voronezh, Soviet Union in 1939, were mounted on many platforms during World War II, including on trucks, artillery tractors, tanks, and armoured trains, as well as on naval and riverine vessels as assault support weapons. Soviet engineers also mounted single Katyusha rockets on lengths of railway track to serve in urban combat.

#BREAKING: It is totally expected that #Israel Air Force carries-out airstrike at Imam Ali base of #IRGC-Quds Force & its #PMU militias in #Abukamal near #Iraq-#Syria border tonight or perhaps within next 72hrs. Because ballistic & cruise missiles are on the way of this base now.

If Creepy Joe where President, he’d declare Iraq a gun free zone and the violence would end

I agree and no doubt we see trouble here on US soil.

Now we send 30 and level a few oil complexes.

At least, that would be a good response.

can’t recall any concern about this! remember, Iranian authorities shut down the internet during the protests:

Turns out they could...

They aimed for the embassy, and the barn is what they hit.

Don’t like seeing anyone die like this, so I’m not the least bit happy about the outcome.

Glad our folks are safe. That’s about the only positive thing to say.

Watch our Left trash Trump for this outcome, and not blame the folks who fired the rockets at all.

China imports $200 billion of oil from the Middle East. India imports 90% from the Middle East (10% from Iran). They both have such interest, I look for them to show up soon.

We went into there for EIGHT YEARS, supporting a bunch of people who eventually glommed onto Iran like a cat to catnip. I never should have supported the war. All that blood spilled for nothing. They didn't even send us any of their oil like we supposedly agreed upon.

Dear Iraqi government:
