A retired colonel appeared on one of the news channels yesterday (I forget which one). He said much the same thing. According to him, Iran used low-accuracy missiles, and aimed at targets that were easy to miss. Their goal was to appear defiant, but to do no real damage.

They launched them, but Nanzi is holding them for later filing.

Michael Pregent: Iran fears US war – May have deliberately missed hitting Americans in missile attacks

It is an opportunity to wipe out their NUKE program with our bunker busters!

I’m now waiting upon the iraqi parliament to swiftly pass a resolution calling for the ouster of all iranians and their militias from iraq because of their violation of iraqi territory and sovereignty!-)

Maybe the bold aggressive approach with terrorists and terrorist regimes works. Versus passive appeasement and boat loads of cash for bribery.

Probably fired off old missile stock that was getting near the expiration date.

Either Iran is a bad shot or they went out of their way to avoid anything major happening. Although it seems unlikely that that Ukrainian airliner committed suicide.about 60 Canadians killed...and Prime Minister Blackface is sure to blame us.

It would seem to me that it would take more accuracy to miss hitting soldiers on the base.

And they warned the Iraqis, who warned US military.

But you won’t see that on CNN/MSNBC, only the propaganda placating those the attack was intended to do in Iran.

That canard is already tiresome. The truth of the matter, other than the many Americans casualties from IEDs, is that Iran is too goofy to hit anything but its own civilians with inferior antiaircraft missiles and stampeding funeral attendees.

Of course they did. The only people who want war are Democrats, MSM and TDS sufferers.

That was my take - no way all 15 would have missed the mark - saving face without pissing off the Junkyard Dog....they have no doubt that their own lives are forfeit if they keep killing Americans.
