Details are still coming in, but Iran has launched a massive missile attack against U.S. forces in Iraq, including Al Asad Air Base, in retaliation for the American drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander, last week. A major rocket barrage on Al Asad, which sits around 115 miles west of Baghdad, may have also preceded the strikes. U.S. President Donald Trump has already threatened a major response, including potential strikes on cultural sites, against Iran in the event of any such attack.

You need to approval of Congress to declare a war. Nancy and her demons will not declare a war because they hate President Trump and America.
Do you really call what they have ‘submarines’?
LOL!
I suspect Rain down is probably hyperbole.
I think they have German made diesel boats.
I’ll see if I can find out.
and then they will prove openly that they hate this country and will not protect it or its citizens.
Operation Outside the Box was an Israeli airstrike on a suspected nuclear reactor, referred to as the Al Kibar site, in the Deir ez-Zor region of Syria, which occurred just after midnight (local time) on 9/06/2007.

Just saying, Mr. President ...
DUH.

Folks may want to cool their jets, this smells like geopolitics. Iranians *have* to do something to save face. I’d wager they targeted the back-ass ends of these bases to actually limit any causualties. This may allow both sides to back down to a simmer. Iranians “did” something, but it looks like it was intentionally ineffective.
“nuclear reactor”
This was before they had enough fissile material to cause a problem and the crime of humanity when o-shithead let them continue their program.
You can’t blow up nuclear material. You just wind up blowing it all over the place, potentially, with possible meltdowns, sending fallout into regions we probably don’t want to have fallout.
To get rid of their material, we’re going to have to walk in and carry it out like we did with the soviet satellites.
Iranian gov and military have to go first.
Trump could always say he does not want war and a declaration would appear on his desk in about 2 minutes. The knee jerk reaction to oppose him would be automatic.
May I remind you of the number of weapons Americans have here in the United States and if the Muzz tries to pull some antics they will feel the pain
These colors don’t run, do yours?
Sic Semper Tyrranis
Now, that is some strategic thinking I can agree with. A little restraint from our side would go a long way, but I give that about 40% chance. How can you not retaliate without appearing weak?
If true, I would not want to be anywhere near an Iranian nuclear facility. A part of me feels this is a last ditch effort by those in control to maintain power. Destruction at home will unite the fanatics and force those more freedom leaning to comply or face death by neighbor.
They have threatened to attack Israel if we retaliate...
A lot of interesting subtext in that.
Kerry = Complete Fool.
Who said anything about running?
I simply pointed out that everyone should be aware.
