Wow, this is getting intense. Folks at the base I work at are getting a bit nervous about where this could all lead.

It will lead to Victory and a Free Iran. In about 3 weeks time.

“Unconfirmed report that Qais Khazali” killed

“if he was killed in the Baghdad attack, then why did the The State Department just declare him and his brother as specially designated global terrorists a few hours ago?”

Maybe they designated him as a terrorist hours before he was killed (making it alright, legally). It might even be possibly that Qais’ statements several hours before his designation (calling his militia to prepare for battle, to expel Americans from Iraq) is why he (and his no good brother) got designated.

If that is the case (Statement, designation and killing; all inside of 24 hours), then we are primed for operations over there, with a very well functioning team.

I will personally be very gratified if Qais and Laith al Khazali have been killed - they have deserved it for a long time.

Me too

this could get ugly.

the Iran regime is backed into a corner and they are not the type to back down. The Iranian people are caught in the middle. Israel is in danger and maritime oil shipments are open targets. I am sure Iran has a bloodlust for one of our carriers

This year keeps getting better.....Rock and roll!

Another one bites the dust! Hopefully..."The reason for the conflicting news about the identity of those 6 who were killed in Al-Taji strike is that the corpses are fully charred."

I suspect possible these guys were stuck in Bagdad and trying to run for their life! They now know if Trump can reach Solheimani ,their greatest terroist leader with all his security protection ,he can certainly find them as well.

Looks like the US is going after the multi-headed Irianian snake!..and quite possible with baghdaad’s leadeership help....though they can never say so.

the iranians can’t do crap to a flattop. we tried to sink one in 2005 and failed. they have worms, but they won’t be a real threat. understand the next round will entail taking out iranian military sites, oil refineries, and then critical infrastructure. The other possibility is partitioning iraqi and iranian kurdish areas (eventually syrian and turkish as well) into a greater kurdistan. We live in interesting times, 2 fer, no Iranian oil hurts china the most.

I'm starting to think this is the extra sauce for the timely intelligence.. Perhaps Iran got too big for their britches in Iraq and Iraq wants their Iraq back!

The Iranian regime wants to survive period. They can choose to attack the US, but we control the consequences. The Iranians are no match for us militarily. Not even close. In a few hours we can wipe out their port facilities, oil fields, refineries, electrical grid, command and control, etc. Their already collapsing economy would be finished.

Hence the Iranians will not back up their bluster. Remember Baghdad Bob and the threats that the rivers would run red with American blood? The mother of all wars? The Iran-Iraq war lasted 8 years with neither side being able to mount a real offensive. Iran is a third rate military power. Any attack against the US would be akin to committing national suicide. Trump has taken the gloves off.

Probably Iraqi F-16s. I kinda get the feeling that the leaders of Iraq are going, “Oh $#!+, Trump is serious this time. Better do some house-cleaning or we’re gonna be the ones to get whacked.”

“ this could get ugly.”

Iran has no military capability to do any damage to us as long as we are ready and expecting them to try something. Anything they attempt now will only result in the loss of whatever meager capabilities they have now, or in the complete collapse of their economy. The most likely end result of any attempt to attack our military would be a massive revolution starting in their country.

They can commit terrorist acts against unsuspecting targets that are on a peacetime footing. They can’t take on our military and have any chance at success.

Twitter is allowing jihadists to post anti-American calls to violence without consequences as they ban Trump supporters.

The ayatollah and the Democrats are not going to like this.

The Ayatollah, Democrats and even some Republicans and Libertarian types won't like it, but I think it's great.
