Highlighting Iraqs opposition to the U.S. strikes, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) tweeted that Trumps malpractice in the region is making us less safe. Time for Congress to stop this foolish rush to war.
Meanwhile in really important news: Just In... Merkel vows Germany will do 'everything humanly possible' to fight climate change.
Napalm
Didn’t Nancy include a few Billion dollars in the Budget thing for Iraq ?
One US embassy attacked...flatten ten of theirs.
We need to consistently understand that the anti Republican presidents are cheering for and even arming the enemies of America.
To hell with Iraq. We have already wasted the lives of thousands of our young men and women in that dump. Get out if we have anyone there, and stay out. I am sick and tired of watching my fellow brothers and sisters dying for nothing. Reminds me of Vietnam more each day. I served in Nam. I saw enough of dying to last a life time. Ours, theirs, everyone involved lost thousands, the Reds lost millions, if you believe the head brass’ numbers. Which are probably not true. But enough is stinking enough. Get the hell out of worthless hell holes.
Drop a company of Marines in,declare a free fire zone for 5 clicks in every direction and run on station air support 24/7. That will put a stop to it.
The US security re-enforcement includes some 400 Marines. What equipment accompanies them is unstated but probably pretty substantial.
Smells like victory in the morning.
The Hill fulfills it’s mission of spouting DNC lies.
Sickos.
Yes, it’s hysterical propaganda. Nothing significant has happened, yet. The threat is from Iran. Bomb Iran.
Meanwhile, thanks to the 68ers (hippies), over the past few years, over 200,000 Americans died from drug overdoses.
We need to just leave before this gets out of control.
Let them kill eachother.
key line: “John Bolton, one of Trumps former national security advisers, called Tuesdays incident in Baghdad straight from Iran’s playbook in 1979 when Iranians stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and set off the Iran hostage crisis.”
This is being organized by the Iranian “Al Qods” military force that is separate from the Iranian Army and dedicated to following Khameni. The Iranians have been actively involved since about 2005/6 in fighting US and Iraqi forces.
LOL!
Even the simplest of simpleton knows it’s much harder to get out of a conflict then yo get into one.
Yeah, a simpleton like Obama could quickly get us into a conflict if his masters told him to.
But it’s tricky getting out.
You know, that JV team that Barry Soetoro helped organize and support then let loose to wreak horror across the region.
Pretended to "fight" with no strategy.
PDJT decimated them in 18 months.

The only thing making it trick is domestic politics and the MIC.
There’s that but also a whole lot more.
Start from the military requirements for a retreat and go from there.
Poliitics is tertiary.
Welcome to FR.
You don’t seem all that bad.
But back up your assertions. It’s expected. And if you fail that’s alright.
“Theres that but also a whole lot more.

Our military is more than capable of conducting a withdrawal safely, it might take a little planning but that is just detail.
The only reason we have not left Iraq/Syria/Afghanistan is that Trump/the Pentagon have not started the process, the reason for that is entirely political.
Nope.
You’re forcing your desires over the facts.
Withdrawal has many more aspects.
“Who profits?”
