Wow. Rhetoric on full display here. It's maybe hawkish to start a war, but to strike back when attacked is neither hawkish nor retaliation. It's the appropriate and righteous response.

The soldiers were placed in Jordan to act as pawns/a tripwire. It was inevitable that they would be attacked.

The visceral response of calling for retaliation is just what the neocons want. Again, a Gulf of Tonkin incident. Thanks for playing along.

Yep, with drones, lightly-defended military outposts are completely vulnerable, and we have them all over the world, apparently.

This gives TPTB multiple spots at which to start their war.

Anybody that doesn't recognize this is a moron.

So we should just it back and take it?

Just what the islamists want.

Not responding only eggs them on. They perceive it as weakness.
