A big price means a war,


Actually not - When Iran mined the Straits and attacked tankers, we took out most of the Iranian navy a decade ago and there was no war.

They didn’t need anything. Iran has already given them salary, training and propaganda.

Then orders.


and since the mob also included some or many militia members - weapons and rockets as well.

Trump: I wanna have peace, I like peace.


The mullahs of Iran want peace also -— after you are dead.

It wasn’t a “bucketful”.

It was Clinton-holdover, George “Slam-Dunk” Tenent (D).

Some of these folks may be on the receiving end of the Blades of Death in the near future:
Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, head of Kata’ib Hezbollah and Deputy Chairman of the Popular Mobilization Committee that oversees the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
Qays al-Khazali, a militant who fought against the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq and was detained by coalition forces between 2007 and 2010.
Hadi al Amari, head of the Badr Brigades, another Iranian-backed militia group that is now part of the PMF.
Faleh al-Fayyad, Chairman of the Popular Mobilization Committee and founder of the Ataa Movement political party.

for the uninformed: Blades of Death=hellfire missile with no explosive warhead, just steel blades that expand on target, usually vehicles.

You have to be a real f’n idiot to wear woodland cammo in the Iraqi desert.

Might as well be wearing bright orange with a target

I met one of those sailors last year. He was at my sons wedding.

the proper course of action is to hold the HOST COUNTRY’s GOVERNMENT responsible.

Yeah, right.

Maybe a strongly worded letter?

It appears you know who did storm our U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Please, if you know, tell me who it was.

Good question posed.

According to the media, it was "protesters" and "students."

Yup.

It would help if we understood you.

I know anybody can buy and carry a flag. But I’m thinking, if our intel services can be trusted, that we got IDs on some of the protestors. If they weren’t your average rent-a-mob, that would explain a lot.

Alberta’s point was that to describe this event as solely an Iranian action is oversimplification.

“Alberta’s point was that to describe this event as solely an Iranian action is oversimplification.”

In the eyes of many it would seem the other way around.

We ought to get out. We wasted far too many lives and trillions already.

Yeah, the corrupt Bush crew created this mess, but American military and taxpayers shouldn’t habe to keep paying the price for it. This was an escalation to our questionable escalation.

Okay, you are free to get driven by the nose by the deep state and have another war in the Middle East. Or you might dodge the bullet and have Trump reelected.

Not a war....but a behind the scenes “face slapping”.
