Yeah, sure.
Big stick threat used expertly by the President.
In his speech today, Trump mentioned the DISPERSAL of our troops and an “Early Warning System that worked very well”.
I wonder if the “Early warning system” was OURS or was the Iranian warning to Iraq that you mentioned.
But WHY would Iran warn Iraq before the missile launch?
It looks like Iran did not want anyone killed ( otherwise why the warning )? They KNOW the consequences of killing Americans.
If so, my suspicions are confirmed. It was a “face-saving” measure so that they can tell their own people (they control the media there ) that they retaliated for Soleimani’s death by killing dozens of our troops. They can even rebroadcast the MSNBC clip that parroted their own propaganda that over 30 of our troops were killed by their strikes.
Whether the Iranians ( many of who are clever enough to bypass their propaganda press ) will believe this is another story.
I do not underestimate the Iranians as “bad shots” ( i.e., they are so incompetent, they can’t even hit targets ). After all, they were able to shot down our drones.
Who could blame them. They have a long history and a lot of cultural sites.
Sorta like when I was a kid and made a crappy throw “I meant to do that.”
What nonsense.
A small Country with Israel and the USA breathing down its neck doesn’t waste 15 missiles to send a message.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
..........
Could be rocket science at work?
They informed Iraq BEFORE the attack LOL..they did it all for show..to show their people “See we retaliated” they knew what would happen if ONE American life was lost..they knew what Trump would do..they are NOT dealing with Obama, they are not dealing with someone who will just pay them off, those days are over
Just putting off the inevitable.
Sort of like kicking sand onto Superman’s shoe.
I read that one missile missed the target by ~20 miles. Whatever the reason, we should be happy that there is an opportunity to avert another unnecessary war.
"Tell them that we missed on purpose, just to send a message that we could have done much worse..."
But foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the attack was now ‘concluded’, praising Iran’s ‘proportionate’ response and adding: ‘We do not seek escalation or war.’
Here’s another weird thing. I saw an aerial photo of damage to a base last night. The craters were not impressive. We do know that Iran notified US prior to the attack. Soldiers went to shelters.
No warheads?

Nope, we saw them coming, but not because they wanted to warn us.
Duh. They don’t want a predator snipin them anytime soon either.
Iran is scared of the Donald. They have finally found someone more crazier than them(in a good way for us that is).
No more 0bama and wimps like Bush; with Trump you hit us we’ll hit you back harder. They’re bringing knives to a a gun fight.
