The blood stain at Baghdad airport was the brains in Iran. The Mullahs are stupid. Killing him eliminated their chief and primary strategist.
The Mullahs are this bold and stupid. The General flown back to Iran in economy class in a Omaha Steak cooler would never have let this happen.
It shows the genius of Trump. Eliminate the brains behind Iran and what are you left with? A bunch of religious fanatics with very very low IQs in charge and a general population on the brink.
Expect EVERYTHING in Iran to grind to a halt in the next couple of days.
When these rats crawl out of their holes, their society may not resemble what they saw this morning. Many of their citizens may finally take action once their standard of living goes back to pre-oil days for an unknown length of time.
Sounds like it's on!

That’s for certain.
...And on the Iranian side is General Salami telling the press the Iranian response will be hard, firm and whatever...
Bump!
Israel is reporting Iranian aircraft departing Iran and heading toward Iraq. US aircraft from Saudi Arabia and Turkey scrambling now in addition to those leaving the UAE.
Any bets on an aerial engagement yet guys?
Don’t post that CR@P
How long will it take them to get there?
NUKE THE AYATOLLAH FOR THE SHAH!
Any casualty report at this point is pure bullshit.
F22s and B2s initially to make the skies safe for the rest of the force.

We’ll win. They have 40 year old warplanes. Maybe kamikaze bombers?
Pentagon: "At approximately 5:30 p.m. (EST) on January 7, Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq."

Iran seems to be inviting a harsh response. Odd they would do that. Presumably, they want to be attacked for some reason. Maybe it is a pretext to go full speed on the nuke program.
I’m expecting the last of the flyable F-14s to get knocked out by some AMRAAMs from F-22s.
Anyone know if commercial aviation is still using airspace over Iran and Iraq?
“Any bets on an aerial engagement yet guys?”
You mean aerial slaughter, if they are that stupid. I doubt it.
Folks should post about what is going on at local bases. Loose lips...
