Thanks. Our response in Iraq and Syria seems like a one off. Listened to Pompeo interview this morning on Fox&Friends. No hint of a major conflagration. Some bombast from Iran, but the coverage, nationally and internationally, seems muted. BBC coverage was scant and relegated to the lesser news. We'll see what develops.

Perhaps the Gang of Eight is being briefed about a possible New Year's surprise from NK, which could launch a test firing of an ICBM. Or it could be related to a possible deal with the Taliban.

Here is a new link at my AOL site. It appears that a US contractor was killed and 4 US service people injured last Friday at Kirkuk (link provided in link below). On Sunday 5 US bombing raids were done and this has caused an Iran response as described in this link.

“...Kata’ib Hezbollah, which is an Iranian-sponsored Shiite militia group. ...”

One wonders, when one is wondering, how much of the pallet-loads of cash that Obama gave to the Iranians was used to purchase the rockets that the “Iranian-sponsored Shiite militia group” used to attack our people.

Yup... one wonders, when one is wondering...

One also wonders, again, what other ties a certain former president has to the Iranians....

Might be worth a look-see by a certain current Attorney General. At least, that’s what I’D wonder, when one was indeed wondering...

The Iraqi PM is a puppet of Iran and one of the reasons there have been a lot of protests of Iranian backed militias and govt corruption (supported by iran). So this PM (who is scheduled to step down by the end of the month because of the protests) is just an echo of the Iranian mullahs
