Iran Strikes Back: Missiles Rain Down On American Forces In Iraq
The War Zone ^ | 1/7/2020 | JOSEPH TREVITHICK

Posted on 01/07/2020 4:25:23 PM PST by reintarnation

Details are still coming in, but Iran has launched a massive missile attack against U.S. forces in Iraq, including Al Asad Air Base, in retaliation for the American drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander, last week. A major rocket barrage on Al Asad, which sits around 115 miles west of Baghdad, may have also preceded the strikes. U.S. President Donald Trump has already threatened a major response, including potential strikes on cultural sites, against Iran in the event of any such attack.

” Iranian aircraft departing”

Good. We can take out their airfields and they’ll have nothing to return to.

Am I going to wake in the morning and find we are in an open war with Iran? Prayers for all our servicemen and women.

I blame the Democrats; Their near universal condemnation of Trump for doing it... their near deification of Soleimani matching that of the Mullahs; Their willingness to use this event for further impeachment and other threats of un-Constitutional and reversal to limit longstanding Presidential abilities to keep the nation safe....

And I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Kerry, The “Squawd”, 0bama & Valerie Jarrett directly conspired with Iran to attack us; Promising them more money and more nuclear help once they get rid of President Trump.

It was calculated long ago dems and the deep state that the only way to stop Trump in 2020 was to impeach him, crash the economy, or start a major war since he promised to stay out of them. I have expected all three for some time

I guess ‘Baghdad Bobs’ are ubiquitous in the field of so-called ‘journalism’.

The DUmmies are in complete meltdown mode and heavily employing their one word vocabulary.

Trump can send North Korea a message by destroying the Iranian nukes.

Ron is a real big country. When we invaded Iraq it had 19 million. Had. At the time Iran’s population has over 70 million and a lot of them now are in Michigan and California

The difference being is that Trump will finish the war in a few days. He goes in to win not pussyfoot around.

Come to think of it. There subs at sea should be greatly worried, because submarines tend to disappear.

The ones who are in Michigan and California are not friendly to the regime in Iran, generally speaking.

“ Iran has launched a massive missile attack against U.S. forces in Iraq, including Al Asad Air Base,”

“ Reports are all over the map. Several reports say rockets. Several say surface to surface. Several use rockets and missiles interchangeably.”

Yes. Are these Iranian SCUDS or are these those PVC pipe rockets. If it’s the latter, it’s no different from any other day in the Middle East. Israel gets hit with those all the time.
