Yeah, Iraq will not let the Israelis have an embassy there but they will allow the Mossad to have a base there.

Uh-huh.

Iran really should stop taking so many drugs.

I guess the Proxy’s are done and Iran is going it first person.

Didn’t they do this a couple years ago as well?

Bush Jr’s “deBaathification” destroyed Iraq. Criminalizing the entire government and disbanding the Iraqi Army resulted in a power vacuum, chaos and insurgency. But Bush wanted to force democracy on a region where they just don’t want it. And now there is no counter to Iranian hegemony from Iran to the Mediterranean Sea. What a disaster.

So they’ve bombed three countries in the last three days?
This is escalating faster than I thought it would.

No way that Israel has a “base” in Iraq.

But all the same, Israel should give some payback to the camel jockeys for all of the trouble that they’ve caused over the years. Maybe a sub-launched cruise missile or 10, armed with cluster munitions that can be dropped all over Iran’s oil refineries. Nice economy you have there, it’d be a shame if something bad happened to it.

Iran is pushing harder to see where America’s red lines are. They feel that Biden won’t do anything in an election year. So they attacked bases used by Americans. America said there were no injuries. Were there? We don’t know because we can’t trust what the government says. Why was it necessary to say there were no American injuries so fast? It’s obvious Iran intended that there would be American deaths. They even hit individual houses with ballistic missiles. That’s pretty dam good shooting. They’re sending messages and we’re saying, “Hey, do whatever and we’ll ignore it.”

We won’t do anything before the election, and they know it.

This is the farthest missile Iran has ever launched. It’s a message to Israel demonstrating their missile capability (showing they could easily hit with precision targets in Israel).

I really hope this was not Mossad they hit, because we really need Israeli intelligence about Iran more than ever
