US troops at base knew Iranian attack was imminent, giving them time to shelter

WA Examiner-

American troops at Al Asad air base in Iraq knew that an Iranian attack was coming two-and-a-half hours before missiles struck the base.

Forces at the base were either flown out of Al Asad or were sheltering in bunkers by 11 p.m. before the attack came, according to CNN. The first round of missiles targeting the base began Wednesday at about 1:30 a.m. Though they knew an attack was coming, the troops at the base didn’t know how the attack would be carried out.

The Iranians also attacked a base in Irbil, Iraq, the same night, lobbing more than a dozen short-range ballistic missiles at the two military installations. No casualties were reported at either base. read more

  1. Obviously even with his military background John Kerry still can’t decipher proper grid coordinates on a map to pass along to his friends in Tehran. The stupid fucking lummox!

  2. Didn’t they say that Mike Pence called Pelosi’s office to tell her about the attacks and she said to tell him she was in a meeting and would call him back later.

    This was after complaining about not being notified of the Soleimani strike since she wouldn’t be able to notify him to avoid going to the airport.

    It’s almost like National Security is just for playing politics with a certain political party that rhymes with Not Worth A Shat.
