If the 23 dead in Syria and 16 dead in Iraq is right, that is about 3.2 weapons per terrorist.
Wonder what the whole operation works out to in terms of taxpayer dollars per terrorist killed?
So $200 million spent?
I have a crazy idea. If we don’t have troops in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, then troops can’t get killed there…
We’re using $2m missiles to shoot down $20,000 drones. How long can that last?
When will you learn? When a dim admin launches a “Strategic Air Strike” the targets are always empty warehouses or barns.
Why did the Biden mis-Administration give Iran a heads up so all their senior military leaders were no longer in Iraq or Syria?
Why weren’t more Iranian linked fighters killed?
This response was a JOKE. The world is laughing at us. China calling is a weak and dying country.
Where’s Congress?
Don’t forget aspirin factories.
Kirby said they want to send a message...
Well they have
Joe is too chicken to protect America...
He wont touch Iran itself...
Was an aspirin factory hit, too?

All of those missiles launched, and we didn’t hit a single wedding or a bakery? Next time aim for the Chinese embassy, guys.
We know where the ayatolla and others live. Some well aimed cruise missiles end this nonsense real fast.
There should be zero US military in any Middle East country.
Iran and Iraq were doing a great job of killing each other before we ruined it.
When Lloyd Austin was an Army Brigadier General under Obama, he was a master at destroying insignificant ISIS targets and generated headlines, but had no effect on ISIS ability to fight. Nothing strategic. He’s doing the same thing here, and telling the enemy ahead of time.
... The US military said the air strikes hit more than 85 targets inside Iraq and Syria targeting both the elite Quds force of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and affiliated militia groups. The US strikes in the west of Iraq killed at least 16 people, including civilians, Iraqi government spokesman Bassem al-Awadi said on Saturday. More than 125 precision weapons, some launched from B1s flying from the US, were used.If the 23 dead in Syria and 16 dead in Iraq is right, that is about 3.2 weapons per terrorist.
With advance notice casualties were minimized, leaving terrorists to fight another day.

More productive than welfare spending. Depending on how one cuts the pie, then:

Everybody sing
Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran
Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran
I’m glad McCain is dead. I hope all other neocons join him.
Well the Iranian puppets launched a single $50K drone that killed 3 and wounded 40, some severely. We use 125 guided weapons, not to mention the use of B1s flying from the States, 12K miles four in flight refueling, and kill less than 30 bad guys. I don’t think we’re gonna win this war either.
Well, Biden made it. He has his war based upon attacks while he chastises Israel for doing the exact same thing for not using restraint. Typical liberal reaction. Say one thing, do another, then bail after people die. And almost always with our tail between our legs. (Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan...)
You can’t fight terrorists with combat. You play into their game as they are overjoyed to die for their religion and getting honored for making us die for their diety. Stupid.
