People forget how stupid and naive Carter was. Worst president in history until Obama came along.
My son in law texted me that. No source though.
Oh yeah, I’m sure they’ll claim that all kinds of cultural sites and baby milk factories were hit. And why not? The American press converted to islam over 15 years ago.
Did Iran miss on purpose? They can paint the canvas for their own population while largely skating?
Are they retro-fitted for Russian munitions?
Conspiracy kook thought here...USA talks backdoor to Iran and OKs missle strike at a base that won't kill any US soliders. Iran can save some face, and USA doesn't have to escalate and wipe out more of Iran's stuff because no one of ours was killed, and we go on. We're happy because don't need to escalate, Iran is happy because they save some face without us going and blowing up a bunch of their crap (or leaders)
Don’t worry. There’s still time for the update to change and that some Americans were lost. Happy now?
Dayum!
We should do what the Israelis do in Gaza after a missile attack. That is, they tell them what building they are going to destroy and give them time to vacate it, and then destroy it. Of course we can do that disproportionately.
The thug that is holding the gun that he shot but missed you and your family is still standing in front of you waiving the gun. You think returning fire is I’ll advised. Wouldn’t want to be your family.
I get the feeling a few Iranian military bases are about to be leveled.
If you get Fox Business channel, they are covering this way better than plain old Fox.
You need quit automatically believing the Deep State
Some Iranian Military minions should be ready to meet some virgins
This is symbolic to save face and they know escalation would hurt them more than it would harm us.
They restored their honor and its going to cool down. They made their point.
Thanks....gladly just missed Trish “ban all semi-automatics” Regan. Now watching the 9PM EST hour. Thanks.
What? You believe that making the populace MORE uncomfortable would UP the popularity of the mullahs? They already suffer from electricity supply problems due to limited rainfall, but increase such shortages and you figure that would make the mullahs MORE popular? What? Please explain.
“Alrighty then. First off, any base that launched a missile should be leveled.”
The Iranians flew planes INTO Iraq that launched the missiles. Second round came from mobile launchers, I think.
It appears that the Iranians aren’t concerned about collateral damage and Iraqi casualties.
