The Iranians must have gotten the go ahead from the Democrats and the US media, knowing that they would back then up against the President. Expect the Democrats to immediately introduce legislation to limit his ability to defend the US.

Or...This could be what Scott Adams just tweeted, i.e. just a symbolic act by the Mullahs to show they are reacting but NOT enough to invite a deadly attack upon them:

“FNC sources: “Apparently no casualties”.”

Due to poor targeting of the Iranian missiles?

There are Iraqi casualties though..the US knew this was coming so my bet is they were able to destroy some of the missiles before they even hit the base

I think they are a near bankrupt country with an unhappy population and Russia or China would be stupid to get involved (and I don’t think they are stupid)

The US knew this base would be targeted as in all bases in Iraq..so they had time to prepare for this.My guess is most of those missiles were destroyed mid air, didnt even touch the ground

If not that, the Leftists in this country sure did encourage them to do it.
Trump did not start this war but, I have a feeling he will end it.
