Iran Strikes Back: Missiles Rain Down On American Forces In Iraq
The War Zone ^ | 1/7/2020 | JOSEPH TREVITHICK

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.

Just remember our talking points when the anti-American media and their brain-washed drones start blaming America for this.

Iran has been waging war against us for 40 years. They have attacked our infrastructure, our financial system, our national interests and assets, our allies assets and national interests and they have murdered our people, civilians and soldiers alike.

Their General was the mastermind behind such attacks and was responsible for the deaths of over 600 American soldiers and the maiming of countless others, not to mention the masses of civilians slaughtered in the process and in random attacks against weddings, funerals, schools, police barracks, etc. He was an animal, one that engaged in killing Americans as a hobby.

Iran has declared itself our enemy and engaged in unprovoked acts of war against us for years. To defend Iran and/or its operatives, to eulogize that animal, is rendering aid and comfort to the enemy, the very definition of treason in the Constitution.

Trump should start taking out Iran’s nuclear facilities one by one. Watch the little mullah piglets squeal then.

Especially global stock markets. When the dust settles on Iran next week, the markets will correct upwards.

Well, I trust that President Trump and our military will not fall into a politically devised trap; but WILL defend us in the most intelligent way under the circumstances.

It sounds like this will be a Tomahawk attack. I heard the 52 targets have all been pre-programed and ready for launch from sea.

“scumbag commodity / hedgies and what not would purposely cause a profitable (for them) panic creating $4 or $5 a gallon gas over night.”

If that happens, those commodity/hedgie bastards ought to be arrested and jailed for price gouging (at least those in the USA). That most of them are ultra-leftists makes that approach even more appealing! ;)
