The details are few, but al Asad is around 200 miles from Syria.

U.S. forces in western Iraq were targeted in another drone attack early Tuesday morning

Get them out of there ASAP.

The Iraqi parliament has already asked us to leave. If regional war breaks out that US base will come under even heavier attacks and Iraq itself will join the coalition of Muslim countries. The US will have no more Arab allies in the region. Even the Saudis are likely to distance themselves from us. I don’t think people realize what a can of worms we’ve opened up.

As Bismarck said about the mountains of the Balkans: "Not worth the healthy bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier", so I say about the sands of Arabia: Not worth one more American life, one more crippled soldier or Marine, and not one more dollar.

Iraq, twice, Somalia, Lebanon, and Afghanistan are more than enough.

Never again.

Biden: "Don't"

Harris: "Don't"

Blinken: "Don't"

We have mental defectives in charge.

Saddam was certainly no angel, but he did keep the Iranians in check thus keeping the Middle East somewhat stable. The fake WMD’s changed all that which led to Saddam’s demise along with the demise of the Middle East stability. What evolved is what we have today, the beginnings of WWIII.

Saddam was an ally of ours, of sorts. Early democrat administrations acknowledged the need to have allies that are not perfect. Harry Truman is an example. Speaking of brutal Nicaraguan dictator Somoza, Harry Truman is supposed to have said “He’s a bastard, but he’s our bastard.”

That type of foreign policy went out the door in the 1960’s.

SURELY the US is working on a DRONE SHIELD. It shouldn’t be that hard.

Don't these Iraqi ingrates know that we fought a war that cost $trillions (not to mention American lives) in order to liberate them?

Oh boy…that could be a problem for the Embassy compound if the drones can fly under C-RAM’s radar. As if they should be stuck on that compound in that low grade war zone in the first place.

Smacking a couple warehouses didn’t seem to get the message across. Gee, who’d have thunk it? /s

“The base hosts international troops that assist Iraq in defeating a terror group called the Daesh, or the Islamic State.”

No good reason to be there. Bring them home. Put them on our border.
