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.
Multiple facilities were struck in the air attack, which was sanctioned by President Biden.
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.

“...Kamala Harris was not informed prior to the Syrian bombing and is very upset about being left out of the loop, per WH official...”
so is this enough disagreement for joe to step down?
Biden “sanctioned”.... Joebama is the CIC but of course he couldn’t order toilet paper. So some clever a@@ PR writer a the Pentagon wrote “sanctioned” the attack. Like the CIC is not commanding such— almost like the mil-industrial complex IS controlling the US Armed Forces. Because under joebama they are— they get to determine how many missiles will be needing to be re-ordered from Martin and Lockheed, etc.
So the young guys today are out of luck going to them to meet women? Glad I was born when I was.
There’s a LOT of desert between Syria and Baghdad.
This had little to do with Iranian militia activity, and more to do with getting the US back in the filthy bowels of the Middle East.
Obama didn’t make the list?
I made that list a few years ago. It needs updating.
When is Bette Midler going to sing From A Distance to a huge crowd of hipsters on national television?
“That’s a pretty extreme thing to say; if you have a son in the Marine Corps, and that you don’t trust the commander-in-chief.”
Trump withdrew troops from Syria and with Biden noninally "in charge" they came back.
is being a nasty feckless fugly frunt a requirement for female RAT media?
or does it just work out that way...
“Feckless” is the main requirement for both reporters and unfortunately, too many Pentagon characters.
The airstrike “was timed to avoid large scale casualties”. There you have Biden’s military strategy. Destroy a building and let the terrorists to live to fight another day. I’d call that cowardice in the face of the enemy.
Guess Kirby would hit them with his pocketbook.
When we bring back napalm I’ll admit that we are doing something right. Some of our JDAMS haven’t been worth a damn unless they are the huge ones that can destroy something even if they missed a direct hit. Earlier ones couldn’t even totally take out a car in Syria or Iraq.
Nice shooting, guys. We got those bastards, at least the ones targeting our fellows. Same goes for anyone targeting our folks with paid bounties on their heads in Afghanistan. In this case, sent 17 of those bastards from Hashed al-Shaabi, an umbrella organisation that includes KH and KSS, off to their virgins. I think this is a good market set down, not to f with Uncle Sam. Happy travels to Virgin Nirvana, dudes!!
“ASAP” as in “as soon as possible”. In that sense, fully agree. Not the ASAP of sudden turn tail, flee and precipitate the unwanted. Winning in Afghanistan may not be an available option at this time, but losing certainly is, and a precipitous departure, no matter how rationalized, would mean choosing to lose. Can’t go for it.
*** Trump withdrew troops from Syria and with Biden noninally “in charge” they came back. ***
Yes, withdrew some of them across the border into Iraq where our Military could move convoys of our troops, weaponry, vehicles, etc, across the border into Syria.
You bought the lie. I know people who were there serving in communications and logistics who were taking part in the fake “withdrawal”.
Why not quit screwing around and strike Tehran with about 50 500 lb. bombs?
Oh, I'm sure they informed him. Eventually.
Or a phony Kabuki Theatre show to shield the phony President* while he restores Obama’s, Kerry’s and Clinton’s financial and oral massage of the Iranian Mullahs.
It’s about oil prices.
Gotta keep em up.
Brent will be over 80 by summer.
God help Slow Joe when Harris transitions up to his seat. She has a vendetta list as long as Madame Defarge Rodham Clinton, Herself.
I thought it was an executive order concerning strikes by airline workers!
