Iran did this so they can say “See we retaliated” so they can save face that is why they did this
Yep
Agree.
Turn it into glass.
We have not forgotten 1979.
Time to finish them off.
Sorry FRiend, having come in late and reading further down it seems at least some, if not all, of this actually happened.
Apologies.
Will the democrats now side with the president and the United States or take sides with an enemy attacking US forces? My bet is they keep on blaming Trump and will side with Iran and call Trump a war criminal and keep on trying to impeach him. They’re worthless bastards.
AINOs; American In Name Only. Anyone who supports, votes for, condones them. etc. is a traitor to the USA.
“ Can’t trust those pesky Iranians, might have sleeper cells in D.C.”
“They have thousands of them...they’re called Democrats!”
Sounds like "war over" to me.
At least for now. The big question remains how to prevent Iran from getting The Bomb (and lots of them).
Iran killed some of its Arab friends. Congratulations! They got their revenge just not with us.
IF no U.S casualties I think the smart play here is to see if you can get real negotiations out of this; maybe quiet a day or two to let tensions and nerves build. They may have actually been sending a message that they want to negotiate.
Fox said some IRAQI casualties. (Not Iranian).
The problem is why should we let Iran become a stronger regional terrorist power.
Nancy is already blaming the President.
Fox Biz channel is OK tonight, we had to turn off Tucker too.
Yep.. They are obstinate little twits.
I wonder what Iraq will do to respond..NO US Causalities, but some Iraqi’s were reportedly killed
Just spitballing but could we be saying “no American casualties” so as to camouflague our response?
What he really needs is a more expensive toupee.
Yes and correction Iraqi not Iranian
They don’t want to negotiate. They want their aggression throughout the region to be accepted as the status quo.
Pelosi is Partying at Danny Meyer’s Maialino Mare Restaurant so sounds like she is real worried about this/sarc
+1 Turned off Tucker.
