More airstrikes in Iraq

Breaking now... just saw it on Fox. New airstrikes in the last hour or so, at least 6 dead.

Updates as I get 'em.

Iraq official says airstrike targets Iran-backed militia, Associated Press reports

The thermal energy of the digestive refuse is increasing.

Uneconomical projection of force. Been saying it for years. Only thing theocratic governments respect. Lay down the effin law with authority. They will in fact get it and run. They always run just have to have the balls to lay it down.

Looks like they're getting it laid down. I'll admit I am nervous over this, but I have to assume for the moment Trump knows what he's doing.

TheRedneck

Now that's what I call some serious de-escalation.

Twitter

Pompeo says U.S. committed to de-escalation after killing Soleimani

And a medical convoy, at that. How noble.

The Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces confirmed the strike, saying it targeted one of its medical convoys near the stadium in Taji, north of Baghdad.

Don't be nervous. We did the exact same thing with Libya. We bombed his house and killed his grandchildren. He simmered down real quick after that I know that much.

They will do the same. I would even step it up and bomb the buildings with US hate art work. Blow it up and send a crystal clear message. The US is the #1 military power in the world. If you need anymore reminders we will be here.

Yeah good luck with that.

Well, if I don't I'm liable to start sounding like....

Maybe you should apologize to Iran on Twitter like Tehran Rose did.
That will smooth some hurt feelz.

I agree!

We all need to write them a letter of apology right away, and plead with them not to destroy us

Soleimani was in the middle of orchestrating a coup in Iraq.
This is likely a deconstruction of the forces he was assembling to carry it out.

Anyone else find it strange that Eric Trump knew about this and tweeted about it days ago yet has no security clearance?

Yeah me neither.

It's not if Trump knows what he is doing.... it's that he's doing the right thing, I'm sure of that.... cuz we all know them Dems would be all he didn't do nutin.. see orange man luvs Russia, blah, blah etc...

The one thing I like about Trump... he sticks to his words, Iran is learning the hard way.

Yeah me neither.

Maybe he is being trained by his dad, to take over 5 years from now

This was one of the better collections of reports I've seen so far. It Appears within 24hrs of the first strike we have either captured or killed a large portion of the Iranian paramilitary leadership including 2 field commanders responsible for the embassy attack.

What? Someone that expects an incompetent person to be gasp incompetent?

The horror. You’re right. I should just assume that every decision that Donald Trump makes is a shining example of supreme leadership.

I was wrong to question anything he does or says.

Naive faith is the way.

They have been messing with us since at least the late 70s. Perhaps he should have made his move sooner eh?

Yeah me neither.

Who cares?
You must be of the belief that more terrorists in the world is a good thing?
I believe the exact opposite, kill all of them.

I hope so. Wouldn’t it be amazing to to just pass the leadership of the country down through family bloodlines?

I’m really liking this Republican thing.
