The U.S. military carried out an airstrike against an Iranian-backed militia stronghold in Syria Thursday, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.

Multiple facilities were struck in the air attack, which was sanctioned by President Biden.

The senior official said the strike was a defensive strategy, intended to halt and deter future rocket attacks by the militia group that recently hit Baghdad and Erbil.

Jack Posobeic tweeted two days ago that Biden was much more focused on Syria than anyone realized. He predicted this.

Man he’s bombing Syria. That she didn’t take long.

The Forever War continues.

This is a permanent feature of our foreign policy, not something to be "won".

This was Posobeic’s tweet 2/23:

“... One thing people aren’t picking up on is how focused the Biden White House is on Syria. They want Assad and his generals gone. This is taking up way more of their time than they are letting on publicly...”

Assad may be a son of a butch but at least he's better than the alternative that would take place if he's gone. If Russians really want Assad to survive, they should embed their units as much as possible with the Syrians. Joe's handlers won't dare to start a nuclear war over Syria.

This is in reply to Iraqi rockets killing Americans 2 weeks ago. I DO NOT recall seeing that in the news. (Did you?)

Now you know why there are chain link fences topped with razor wire around the white hut. Blame Trump supporters when all along you were going to start up another war in the Middle East.

I think I see your problem. This was not a war strike. In the Obama/Biden universe, this was instead a “kinetic action”. And let’s be honest. Anti-kinetic action demonstrations just aren’t going to catch on.
