If it wasn’t for the likelihood that a few American soldiers would die out of sheer odds, I would love to see our soldiers destroy them if they attacked as an army. But they won’t. A suicide attack will happen somewhere.

Thank God Mattis is in there because they can return fire without calling the white house. The green on blue threat is very big in Afghanistan. I’m pretty sure they are permitted to carry at all times.

Prayers for them all throughout the day.

They have already threatened to destroy us about ten times over.

Why is Iran still a country and not a glass-lined parking lot?

An Iranian attack on US forces in Iraq allows a bombing attack on Quom

They are burning through Obama’s unmarked cash, so they may need an excuse to do more extortion. As if they need another excuse to rail against The Great White Devil. F them!
