COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Three American service members were killed and “many” were wounded in a drone strike in Jordan, President Joe Biden said in a statement Sunday. He attributed the attack to Iran-backed militia groups.
They were the first U.S. fatalities in months of strikes against American forces across the Middle East by Iranian-backed militias amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, increasing the risk of escalation. U.S. officials were still working to conclusively identify the precise group responsible for the attack, but have assessed that one of several Iranian-backed groups are responsible.
Biden said the United States “will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.”

They’re sitting ducks. And the Army is wondering why they’re struggling to recruit white males.
...and Bidet does nothing, as usual.

No big deal, right Jo Jo. They were only loser Americans and they are on their way out anyway, RIGHT JO JO. It’s all about the foreigners now, RIGHT JO JO?
And he will do the same thing about it he always does. Go back to sleep.
Maybe we can borrow some ammunition and missiles from Ukraine since they have them all.
I am sure they will lose a lot of sleep.
Pedo Joes whole life has a “cap” on it now
“Outpost at Tower 22 in Jordan, along the Syrian border”
WTH??? We have “outposts” in Jordan? I read a day or two ago there are over 200 US bases around the world. Is an “outpost” included in that number? How many such “outposts” do we have around the world? What are we doing there?
“U.S. officials were still working to conclusively identify the precise group responsible for the attack..”
Hint: Check for the fingerprints of those non-Persian Mullahs up in Iran.....
Biden will meet with the families and go on and on about how much he loved Beau, ya know, his beloved Beau whose own daughter Natalie has been abused by Hunter, thats how much he loved his son Beau..everyone knows that Biden will do NOTHING when it comes to Iran, absolutely NOTHING..American blood has been spilled and Biden could care less
The best defense is to go on offense.
Look in the mirror, you lying traitor!
Dispute about exact location of the attack
Speaking to Jordanian public broadcaster al-Mamlaka, Muhannad Mubaidin, a government spokesman, said the attack happened outside of the kingdom across the border in Syria.
But US officials insisted the attack happened at a base in Jordan, known as Tower 22, near the Syria border.
US troops have long been based in Jordan, up to 3,000 American soldiers are typically are stationed there.

No surprise that Americans got killed, SloJoe puts troops in exposed positions without proper support.
Placed in harms way, isolated, comms and battle space awareness limited or
malfunctioning...

Iran-backed militia groups.....WRONG !!
Iran Directed terrorist groups. FJB
If only we had more trans pole dancers in the military this never would have happened. 🤣

(excerpt)....
To the children and parents and spouses and families and friends of the lost, we offer the deepest sympathy of the nation. And I assure you, you are not alone.
Just three days removed from these events, Americans do not yet have the distance of history. But our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil.
War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing.
