Kataib Hezbollah, which is part of an umbrella group that claimed Sunday's attack, said this was "to prevent embarrassment of the Iraqi government".

Already deterred? No need to respond? Neocons grind teeth? Paleocons rejoice?

Well, if they suspended their attack spree on U.S. soldiers then I suppose just bombing an empty silo and Biden can claim victory. Of course that doesn’t help the dead soldiers and all the others still at risk.

Hey, I know! Let’s play patty-cake with ‘em, or maybe red rover. That way it’s proportional and we get to take turns.

Usual response from Islamists.

Attack. Claim victory. Then demand ceasefire.

Rinse and repeat.

Translation: They don’t want to be bombed out of existence.
Not that Joe would do that....But. Just in case.

He promised IRAN some more cash. These groups all take orders from Iran. Without Iran’s support with weapons/missiles/drones they would only have sling shots and rocks to throw just like the kids you see on the West Bank.

Wow.

Iran - Sorry we killed your three servicemen/woman. We don’t want to embarrass the Iraqi government, so we won’t do it again, until the next time.

Biden - Okay we understand. We appreciate your concern. The checks in the Mail.

Iran (behind closed doors laughing) - Stupid Americans. Nothing we do bothers them enough for them to kick our butts in retaliation. What a bunch of p*ssies. Achmed reload the drone launcher.

Suspending attacks = drop everything and run before the Tomahawks arrive.

Anyone who believes that smoldering crap, is an IDIOT!

So they robbed a bunch of banks and just before getting arrested they say they won't rob any more banks, and Biden let's them off?

Exactly, they need to rearm and don't want any retaliation until they can move things around.
