Are national governments eligible for Darwin Awards?
Disregard my last...I presumed a rising Moon and failed to take time difference into account...Could may well be a “setting” Moon in Iran at time of launch...My bad...
The following statement is attributed to @ChiefPentSpox: At approximately 1730 EST on Jan. 7, Iran launched at least a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military & coalition forces in Iraq.
It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran & targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting U.S. military & coalition personnel at Al-Assad & Irbil.
We are working on initial battle damage assessments.
In recent days & in response to Iranian threats & actions, the DoD has taken all appropriate measures to safeguard our personnel & partners. These bases have been on high alert due to indications that the Iranian regime planned to attack our forces & interests in the region.
As we evaluate the situation & our response, we will take all necessary measures to protect & defend U.S. personnel, partners, & allies in the region.
Due to the dynamic nature of the situation, we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
Iran had to respond to save face with their fanatics. It is less than a pin prick response. I’d just leave it be with no military respond other than Trump laughing his ass off at the ineptitude. Iran wants financial market melt downs so d-bag Dems can blame Trump / Redumblicans
[ BREAKING: Iranian retaliation begins with missile attack on Iraqi airbase ]
Probably a lot of high-fives at Democrat Underground tonight. Oh, and Huffington Post.
FAA NOTAMN (notice to pilots): All us carriers and operators: dont fly over gulf of oman, persian gulf, Iran, Iraq, Syria. Thats ALOT of airspace to go around. Maybe a pilot can cypher the NOTAM?
This is going to be very messy, and could lead to very a dire outcome for anyone involved with it.
I would not be surprised if ‘Stuxnet v55.1’ (or whatever) causes Darkhovin or Bushehr to ‘scram’ as well as Rudeshur and Kazerun and a few other plants to trip. All of a sudden, most of the light and power goes out during a cold winter night in Iran. Enough power to maintain life, but the inconvenience of recurring ‘brownouts’. No deaths from freezing, merely PLENTY of inconvenience. How popular would the mullahs be with a cold, damp and hungry populace, unable to provide much power for them to live, merely survive?
Never was a big fan of Tucker. He’s like that smarmy honors student we all knew in high school. He’s really impressed with himself for how clever he is, but he lacks common sense.
FOX: Some Iranian casualties. No American casualties
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.
I blame the Democrats; Their near universal condemnation of Trump for doing it... their near deification of Soleimani matching that of the Mullahs; Their willingness to use this event for further impeachment and other threats of un-Constitutional and reversal to limit longstanding Presidential abilities to keep the nation safe....
And I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Kerry, The “Squawd”, 0bama & Valerie Jarrett directly conspired with Iran to attack us; Promising them more money and more nuclear help once they get rid of President Trump.
Alrighty then. First off, any base that launched a missile should be leveled. For the number of bases that Iran hit, they should lose that number of military bases. They think they’re dealing with a Barak Obozo who is lighter and louder, they’re going to find out that they’re not. Iran is about to find out what extreme penalties are.
Some Iranian Military minions should be ready to meet some virgins
They fired short range ballistic missiles and couldn’t hit a military base. This is intentional and the Iranians are trying to save face. Smart move on their part.
They missed.
Mullahs took out a dozen desert spiders.
It looks like they launched some off-target missiles just before their funeral for general street-pizza to try to save face, while being terrified they might kill an American.
“Retaliation”
The strike on the Iranian military leader WAS retaliation on previous attacks HE’D conducted.
Everyone acts like the war started this weekend.
Just as Zimmerman was told he just should’ve accepted his beatdown in Florida.
LOTS of neo-CON love on this thread.
Sad...very sad.
