JTN: U.S. forces unleashed precision air strikes Sunday night against sites in Iraq used by Kataib Hezbollah after the terror group attacked American military personnel on Christmas Day, wounding three.
Defense Lloyd J. Austin III announced the air strikes, saying they were retaliation for unprovoked attacks on U.S. forces.
“Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted necessary and proportionate strikes on three facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups in Iraq,” Austin said. “These precision strikes are a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-sponsored militias, including an attack by Iran-affiliated Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups on Erbil Air Base earlier today, and intended to disrupt and degrade capabilities of the Iran-aligned militia groups directly responsible.” MORE
Hope you IOTW critters all had a good Christmas because we are back to business as usual for the cowardly Pedo.
Three of ours equals three “proportionate” pinpricks for them. Traitorous POS probably told Iran what three shacks we were going to aim at.
That commie cunt Jarrett won’t allow any appropriate response against her country. Don’t expect any real response to either Iran or Yemen…
About frickin’ time, unless the response is the usual ‘blow up an empty ammo building” or similar. Austin, the “gorilla in a uniform”, has proven to be a useless POS and a wretched military leader. Throw his ass out!!!!
Proportionate? 1000 of yours per 1 of ours is a proportion too, go with that and the shit will stop.
“Today’s attack led to three injuries to U.S. personnel, leaving one service member in critical condition,”
Probably also some deaths, but Ray’theon Austin the Tird’s Pentagon doesn’t want to mention those in the context of the kabuki non-war theater we are shown. Look for an “aviation accident” explanation for those deaths soon.
1,000 of theirs to one of ours might involve carpet bombing the bastards with B-52’s. And throw in some Napalm just to make sure that they get the message.
Waghin’ the dog starting early? Give old KP something to talk about other than the tratorous bastard, his son, his scrunt Dr.Feelgood.
In other news, Biden’s wallet containing a blank check was dropped somewhere in Iran….
Maybe a better option would be to bring ALL of our troops home from the ME and use them to guard our borders? We should not have troops in Iraq or Syria. They belong on the Mexican border. Nothing in the Middle East is worth one drop of American blood or one grain of American gold. America First, America Only, America Always.
Christmas day was Monday and U.S. forces unleashed air strikes Sunday night?
There is some bad reporting in this article.
Since we can’t defeat an arguably superior military (Russia) we’ll go back to what our military does best – bombing brown people.
