Baghdad (AFP) - Iraqi armed factions called on Tuesday for an urgent meeting to face "the war against the resistance," after a US strike on Baghdad last week killed top Iranian and Iraqi commanders.

"We will regroup the forces of the resistance in a single entity to respond to Washington," said Nasr al-Shammary, deputy head of the Harakat al-Nujaba group.

If so, kind if like Trumps showy missile attacks against Assad’s empty Syrian airfields and warehouses

Theater, not war

I suggest ICE round up all the Iranians/Iraqis found in the State of Florida. Deport their asses the hell out of the country or inter them in a camp. They’re fancy-free at Home Depot with their women in burkas, buying hatchets and machetes. The threat is here, not over there. They are distracting us!

Thank You for the update ocrp1982.

The Mullahs must know that with the protests recently, if the ports are bombed into ruin or all the power plants get popped....

Not quite. Trumps actions were the proverbial “shots across the bow.” Warning shots meant to send a message.

Trump does not want to engage in war. He has said so repeatedly. But, he will not avoid conflict at all costs.

Especially, when it involves American lives.

American lives is his red line. He is making this perfectly clear.

Bongino, is on Hannity now calling BS on the media and Deep State “face saving” Theory being heavily promoted due to no US casualties.

He believes this is a strategic play meant to put the USA in a bad position politically. To try to stave off a response by President Trump. Knowing full well what our Media and Democrats will say if we strike them hard is they didn’t kill any of our guys.

I believe Bongino is SPOT ON.

Ever heard of the word “taqiyyah”? Lying to the infidels to protect or advance Islamic causes.

Iraq does not want Iran to turn them into a puppet state. This is knee-jerk sentiment foisted upon them by Iranian backed mouth pieces. At this point, I think cooler heads are more afraid we leave them to the Iranian ooze. Hell, our assassination has been well recieved in many places in the Middle East, they just don’t want to come out and say it. The ME knows that Iran is poised to capitalize on any vacuum. They do not want that.

“I would use this attack as an opportunity to take out critical military and oil production infrastructure and then issue our own UN Resolution 51 statement.”

The IRGC is the center of gravity for the Iranian Regime, and has already been formally designated a terrorist organization (subject to the existing Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force).

They are also likely to be the ones firing the missiles at the US bases (of at least ordering it, but they have big organic rocket/missile units in the IRGC).

Use this as an opportunity to strongly disrupt them, including killing Soleimani’s replacement.

Let a hundred cruise missiles fly. Then tell them we won’t escalate unless they respond. We can play that game a lot longer then they can.

They started firing over the border.
