A senior Iraqi militia official has been killed in a yet unclaimed attack near Baghdad International Airport in what appeared to be the latest escalation following a week of unrest and bloodshed across the country.

Mohammed Redha al-Jabri, head of protocol of Iraq's state-sponsored Popular Mobilization Forces, was killed Thursday "along with three guests accompanying him," the Popular Mobilization Forces told Newsweek. The group denied rumors that Popular Mobilization Forces deputy commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed or injured, saying he was "well and currently in his residence in Baghdad."

No war, just a targeted strike. Reagan made several during his Presidency.

The gaijin solution to being attacked is the Obama/Kerry solution. Send them pallets of cash and shut up.

gaijin history started when Trump became President...No one else could possibly be responsible for the border and endless wars.

It's all so simple to stop in the simplistic gaijin mind.

Part of America First is DEFENDING Americans abroad.
Something I'd say Trump just did. Will the Iranians try something stupid? IMHO. Yes!

The Death of #IRGC Quds Force commander, Qasem Soleimani and the death of commander of Hashd al-Shaabi, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is now confirmed.
................
We captured Qais Khazali, leader of Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq and Hadi al-Amiri, former head of #IRGC’s Badr Organization in Jadriyah.
..................
Here we go.

This is the only piece of propaganda that I fully suspend my skepticism for, the only one I totally buy into. Great timing, Sir Bags!

Tit for tat can go on for some time.

Not going all wobbly, but these guys ain’t Palestinian or Libyan.

I am not sure what else we could have done.

Iran poked the bear on Tuesday. By attacking our embassy. PT was not going to sit back, and just do nothing. I'm for non-involvment generally, but they can't do that to US.

No, the guy daring us to attack them was poking the bear(President Trump). Did you not get that sense? Do not believe I was the only person thinking that.

Thanks for the explanation. It is possible Obama and Kerry were advising them, but the Iranians are good at making trouble all by themselves.

Is that your code for “we shouldn’t kill terrorist organizers who kill Americans”?

Anyone who harms Americans is fair game, period!!!
