CBS News via Yahoo ^ | September 15, 202 | Jonah Kaplan

New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks.

The Defense Department's inspector general this week released a fresh report on the war in Iran that revealed "equipment losses" worth up to $3.7 billion — including nearly 60 aircraft. In a first-of-its-kind mandatory report to Congress, the inspector general added that U.S. Central Command reported Iranian strikes at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Jordan.

Who are you kidding? This stupid talking point isn’t about the money... it’s about putting a finger in Trump’s eye before the midterms. And your goal is to help the ‘Rats rape America. Lowlife!

The criminal legacy news media is pulling for Iran.

How sick is that?

Yes, let's focus on what we imagine are the feelings of some newsroom staff. That's what is most important in this revelation.

Let's not focus on the fact we can't protect our bases in the Middle East, and have abandoned positions while our president keeps proclaiming for months that we've won.

What remains to be seen is if the next proclamation of victory is as thrilling as the first!

Right! CBS putting all this out there does two things: one, like you said, to make Trump look bad before the mid-terms, and two, tells the Iran military just how successful their attack was. It’s a morale booster for them.

Despicable and traitorous.

This is seeBS! Trump said the war was over months ago! IRan doesn’t even have a military left to attack us.

Thank OBAMA (Father of Isis) and BIDEN for leaving our military vehicles and armaments behind when U.S. troops were pulled out of the Middle East during their watch.

Let’s face it: Trump was sold a bill of goods on Iran by Hegseth and Netanyahu, and he bought it.
