President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by "radical Iran-backed militant groups". He added: "We shall respond."

Why are US troops in Jordan/Syria? Rand Paul is right. This will now spiral out of control Vietnam style.

Nightmare.

I'm saddened by the loss of life and the wider implications Freepers...

RAND PAUL WANTS TO END UNDECLARED WAR IN SYRIA

Rand tried to stop this not long ago. So sad.

Let’s pull back inside U.S. borders, it’s not like anything that happens in the rest of the world affects us.

Israel and the Neocons want the U.S. to take out Iran. They have for some time. (Although it's taboo to say so.)

So one reason U.S. troops are in Jordan and Syria is to serve as targets. "Look, Iran-back terrorists attacked American troops! Now we have to go to war with Iran!"

Remember when Trump wanted US Troops out of these “sitting-duck” bases in Syria - but Linda Graham and Mike Pence talked him out of it, and the deep-state set their state-run neocon media on Trump for considering it?

I hope he’s not so spineless next time.

Oh please! That’s how Muslims have always behaved, so that’s why other Middle Easterners have to behave to survive. Pussies like woke Americans and snooty socialist Ashkenaz Jews are babes to the slaughter. The Middle East ain’t New Jersey no matter how hard anyone pretends.

We are in Syria because of Obama’s Arab Spring and John MCCaine and Lindsey Graham’s creation of ISIS to destroy Assad and take his oil the best I can discern. We are in Jordan because of Bush’s war on terror. Never left.

[RandFan]

Trump is well aware of it. None of it would happen under him (or did)

We really need him back pronto. We can’t wait a year

I hope we have troops in Monaco.

I hear that some of the roulette wheels are rigged and we need an armed response to keep the gambling safe and legal.

[cowboyusa]

It’s the joooos fault! Israel will take Iran out itself if it needs to.

[cowboyusa]

TOU ARE AN ANTISEMITE.

[linMcHlp]

bttt

[MinorityRepublican]

I sort of understand that we were in Syria to take out all the ISIS terrorists. But that's over. So time to take all of the troops out of the Middle East.

But the MIC doesn't want us to do that.

[cowboyusa]

We should have NO Troops there.

[cowboyusa]

100 percent.

[cowboyusa]

Everything is Israel’s idea according to you. The deep state was meddling for it’s own nefarious purposes.

Tower 22 is a small logistics base on the border between Iraq and Jordan.

I wasn’t sure if it was still there, but I guess it is.

Prayers up for the families and brothers-in-arms of those who were lost and prayers up for the full recovery of those who are injured.

Is their a situation where you would ever support mil8tary action?;
