The U.S. military carried out an airstrike against an Iranian-backed militia stronghold in Syria Thursday, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.

The senior official said the strike was a defensive strategy, intended to halt and deter future rocket attacks by the militia group that recently hit Baghdad and Erbil.

You are right. The Federal government is the enemy of the American people.

Interesting that Israel wasn’t arranged to take the credit/blame IMO.

*** Waiting for the pink ladies to start running with this one. ***

Twitter has been suspending Code Pink, and antiwar voices.
Code Pink is now more conservative than ñeocons and neolibs.

Let that sink in.

*** But if anybody shoots at ISIS and Syrian Rebels and FSA, we bomb them. Syrian Army, Iranian militias, Russians, it doesn’t matter. If you at=re a threat to the Sunni A-holes, you get bombed. ***

Yep, and if Karma exists, the USA is going to get a big dose.

An offensively defensive move.

Xiden outlines it extensively in his new book “The Art of the Elitist Progressive Globalist Thing”. It’s zooming to the top of all the charts!

Don’t forget that Biden has a secret weapon - an earpiece. You could ask him to list all the states he won in alphabetical order, and he’d be able to do it.

Or more accurately - if his handler could do it, then Joe could do it.

*** These terrorist organizations are responsible for the three attacks, which led to the killing of a civilian contractor ***

Those Civilian Contractors make big bucks. It’s not like they are there as humanitarians. A former ranger I know was headed to Africa. Pay was more in a month than most make in a year or two.

We should leave Syria, Iraq & Afghanistan ASAP.

Trump tried and was thwarted.

*** How long before boots are on the ground? ***

Where have you been? We have boots on the ground. We are building an air base in the middle of the oilfields in Der Ezzor, and that began just before Trump left office.

We have the Terrorist US training camp in Al Tanf. Some of those tools even post on the internet.

Our actions there are disgusting.
