The U.S. military has conducted defensive precision airstrikes against three facilities near the Iraq-Syria border region Sunday evening. 

According to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, the facilities are used by several Iran-backed militia groups engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, including Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).

Chad Pergram on Twitter: "Pelosi on US airstrikes on facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups near Iraq-Syria border. Says this is a “proportional response to a serious and specific threat. The Iran-backed militias utilizing these facilities have been engaged in attacks threatening US servicembrs”" / Twitter

"As demonstrated by this evening's strikes, President Biden has been clear that he will act to protect U.S. personnel. Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. interests in Iraq, the President directed further military action to disrupt and deter such attacks," Kirby added. "The United States took necessary, appropriate, and deliberate action designed to limit the risk of escalation - but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrent message."

Interesting. This goes completely against the derp alliance with Iran.

Another clue that Biden is not 'calling the shots' and has no control over the military. I wonder if anybody told Kamaltoe. She's gonna be PISSED.

“Proportional”? That word should be the title of an entire chapter in a manual on how to make a bad situation worse and inevitably lose. From Truman, to Kennedy and LBJ, through Carter, Clinton, Obama, and now brain dead Joe, the Democrats have learn nothing but how to make any situation worse and make America lose. If there was a manual as mentioned they would have written the book.

We're going to find out just how far they are willing to go to cover their tracks. But I would not put anything past people that would create a pandemic just to get rid of one man.

Two things. I never liked Kirby. More a leader of the “Queens Navy” than that of the U.S.

Also, I’m surprised that Biden allowed our military to hit anything other than two Iranian/Syrian outhouses and a came-milking station.

Or, as we say in law, in the alternative, perhaps nobody told Biden and Harris so that they couldn’t warn Iran about what was going to happen.

Somebody tell Gen. Milly Vanilli that someone with balls ordered the operation while he was instituting “anti-white extremism” classes in our military academies, including “Woke Point Academy”.

To myself. it should read as “to hit anything other than two Iranian/Syrian outhouses and a CAMEL-milking station”.

Democrat and Rino War mongers.

Trump said yesterday that he expects that Biden will involve us in a war where many of our military will die.

If you think we had four years of peace under Trump, you have been living in a mine shaft.
