“...Kamala Harris was not informed prior to the Syrian bombing and is very upset about being left out of the loop, per WH official...”

so is this enough disagreement for joe to step down?

Biden “sanctioned”.... Joebama is the CIC but of course he couldn’t order toilet paper. So some clever a@@ PR writer a the Pentagon wrote “sanctioned” the attack. Like the CIC is not commanding such— almost like the mil-industrial complex IS controlling the US Armed Forces. Because under joebama they are— they get to determine how many missiles will be needing to be re-ordered from Martin and Lockheed, etc.

And let’s be honest. Anti-kinetic action demonstrations just aren’t going to catch on.

So the young guys today are out of luck going to them to meet women? Glad I was born when I was.

There’s a LOT of desert between Syria and Baghdad.

This had little to do with Iranian militia activity, and more to do with getting the US back in the filthy bowels of the Middle East.

I made that list a few years ago. It needs updating.

Where is the anti war protest going to be at (Sarc).

When is Bette Midler going to sing From A Distance to a huge crowd of hipsters on national television?

Martha Raddatz on Trump winning in 2016:

“That’s a pretty extreme thing to say; if you have a son in the Marine Corps, and that you don’t trust the commander-in-chief.”

Trump withdrew troops from Syria and with Biden noninally "in charge" they came back.

“Feckless” is the main requirement for both reporters and unfortunately, too many Pentagon characters.

The airstrike “was timed to avoid large scale casualties”. There you have Biden’s military strategy. Destroy a building and let the terrorists to live to fight another day. I’d call that cowardice in the face of the enemy.

Guess Kirby would hit them with his pocketbook.

When we bring back napalm I’ll admit that we are doing something right. Some of our JDAMS haven’t been worth a damn unless they are the huge ones that can destroy something even if they missed a direct hit. Earlier ones couldn’t even totally take out a car in Syria or Iraq.

God Bless our troops!

Nice shooting, guys. We got those bastards, at least the ones targeting our fellows. Same goes for anyone targeting our folks with paid bounties on their heads in Afghanistan. In this case, sent 17 of those bastards from Hashed al-Shaabi, an umbrella organisation that includes KH and KSS, off to their virgins. I think this is a good market set down, not to f with Uncle Sam. Happy travels to Virgin Nirvana, dudes!!

“ASAP” as in “as soon as possible”. In that sense, fully agree. Not the ASAP of sudden turn tail, flee and precipitate the unwanted. Winning in Afghanistan may not be an available option at this time, but losing certainly is, and a precipitous departure, no matter how rationalized, would mean choosing to lose. Can’t go for it.

Yes, withdrew some of them across the border into Iraq where our Military could move convoys of our troops, weaponry, vehicles, etc, across the border into Syria.

You bought the lie. I know people who were there serving in communications and logistics who were taking part in the fake “withdrawal”.

Why not quit screwing around and strike Tehran with about 50 500 lb. bombs?

Do you think DOD acted on their own? No Biden approval?

Oh, I'm sure they informed him. Eventually.

Mr. President! We're ordering an airstrike in Syria!"

Biden: "Huh? You what?"

"Airstrike! Syria! Bombs"

Biden looks to Dr. Jill: "What's he saying?"

Dr. Jill: "It's ok, dear. They know what they're doing. Time for your pudding!"

Biden: "Oh boy! Pudding!"

Or a phony Kabuki Theatre show to shield the phony President* while he restores Obama’s, Kerry’s and Clinton’s financial and oral massage of the Iranian Mullahs.

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

What??!!??

I thought it was an executive order concerning strikes by airline workers!
