As of approximately 8 hours after the bombing of Syria, there is no statement from the White House on their official website [SEE HERE] or from the JoeBama spokespeople.
The cognitively disconnected pretend president is being cited for authorizing the bombing.
However, there’s just as much reason to believe he thought he was ordering more jello pudding before nap-time.
The preferred narrative term “Iran-backed” is also so disengenous it is quite silly.
WASHINGTON – The US on Thursday launched an airstrike in Syria that targeted facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups — the first military action taken by the Biden administration, officials said.
The Pentagon said the strike was in retaliation for a Feb. 15 rocket attack against a US military base at Erbil International Airport in Northern Iraq that killed a US-led coalition contractor and left others wounded, including an American service member.
“I’m confident in the target that we went after, we know what we hit,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters after the airstrike.
“We’re confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militants that conducted the [Feb. 15] strikes,” he said.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the attack “destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian- backed militant groups.”
The groups included Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, according to Kirby.
Kirby called the retaliation a “proportionate military response.” (read more)
….And that was the problem for the Pentagon. President Trump was undoing the industrial war machine; and there are trillions at stake on that policy issue alone. Now the war machinery is back to operating without civilian oversight and paying the politicians to just shut up and sit down.
It will be interesting to see how the JoeBama administration handles the questions tomorrow about the bombing of a sovereign Syria; considering their prior 2017 position below:
GOD help us please and look after our beloved troops
Oh dear.
Wonder what group they (whoever ordered the bombing and will be doing the talk show circuits explaining their reasoning) bombed and are calling them linked to Iran – the insurgents it has been reported that Turkey has been providing in order to keep the UN sanctified government in place or the locals who have been trying to take back their country from the UN formed government?
Hillary didn’t call Joe and get him to give her the launch codes by mistake thinking he was giving her his cellphone number?
Sorry, I confused myself again – Syria, Libya. My bad; heading off to bed. Going to have to change my moniker to Emily Litella and just say “never mind”.
some people did some things….
Okay, here you go link
Biden statement to press on bombing of Syria live:
I would like to correct one little thing.
Biden would never be able to remember the launch codes long enough to give them to Hillary or for that matter anyone else.
The target was a group of buildings that acted as an unofficial border cross-over but the main activity was preventing ISIS terrorists from crossing over into Syria in that area. It is a location that has been attacked by the Coalition several times. The occupants were tipped off by US drone activity and had moved to somewhere safer. The dead man was from al-Hashd al-Shabi, one of the many Iraqi units part funded by Iran, he had stayed behind, along with half a dozen of his colleages who were wounded, to prevent their armoury being looted by ISIS, who strangely often appear just after these USAF attacks.
The attack itself was by a single F-15E that dropped half a dozen 500lb bombs. It apparently struck from the Syrian side of the border so that it couldn’t be accused of attacking in Iraqi airspace.
Much USAF/Coalition activity seems to be of benefit one way or another to ISIS, I am sure this is a coincidence. For example, there does appear to be an uptick in US activity moving ISIS prisoners from jails in the north of Syria to their al-Tanf area in the south, processing/training/equipping them there before release into south eastern Syria. The increase being due to the success of the Syrian/Russian current campaign to eliminate their predecessors.
There is also a new US airbase being built in northern Syria. Unlike prior US bases this one is getting anti aircraft/drone defences.
Thank you for the details; and spot on “much USAF/Coalition activity seems to be of benefit one way or another to ISIS . . .” (and is probably why I conflated Libya with Syria since these ISIS folk seem to be moved between these two regions, “pets” is the moniker I read over from the twitter feed @Avery1776 who goes into great detail on how these ISIS folk seem to be useful idiots for the middle eastern war games).
Since Turkey seems to be the main manipulator in both, and being its leader appearing to want to annex parts of Syria, as well as supplying young boys into Libya to fill the fighting ranks, I guess it’s easy to mix up the two.
Sure hope we get to know who in the Biden camp was giving the orders to bomb a foreign nation without Congress having declared war – one would think Pelosi would be all over that infraction.
I miss President Trump very much, and think leaders in the Middle East are missing his presence too.
This link is to @Avery1776 ‘s twitter thread, if one follows the threads within the threads it shows how Turkey is moving “pets” from Idlib, Syria into Libya. Tie all these together and it’s hard to not see this is all one giant military industrial complex game to justify their existence.
And because of that, with the Abraham Accords having peace break out all over the Middle East that same complex decided Trump must go and why the pentagon is busy weeding out “his kind” as in that famous phrase ‘we must make sure his kind never rises again’.
Here is a very insightful rabbit hole:
“Iran-backed”, of course, all of Syria is “Iran-backed”, they are allies, I agree, it is a twist of words. Too bad Assad can’t be allies with someone else but it’s that division of Shia and Sunni, I believe.
Yeah, they are running the show with or without Sleepy Joe.
Syria has a bigger backer than Iran but unfortunately for them it is Russia.
Alawites Muslims, not shia or sunni
They will ignore issues of legality, they will not address whether the commander in chief knew or understood anything about it, and repeat several times that it was proportionate.
“Legality”? Whatever they do is legal there is no functioning Constitution anymore! Get used to it! We’re the first Super Power banana republic!
With open borders allowing any “Iran-backed” action into our beloved country. God help us
Whew! Another arms sales promo for another splendid little war. Okay /s
I was afraid old Joe was fumbling in the dark and pushed the wrong buttons…
LOL
Maybe he thought he was playing Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare with Hunter, but he launched a real airstrike instead. Could happen.
I am a contrarian on this matter. Why shouldn’t we retaliate against the strike on us? President Trump took similar measures. What is the big deal?
The big deal is this wasn’t a big deal in the media. This is an act of war, and it’s getting small print on CNN, etc.
I turned on the news for the first time in 6 months. MSM spent 2 minutes on it.
of course we should flex when needed, that’s not the point.
“Trump took similar measures”
He did. And he we know he did. Because he took responsibility for it.
In contrast, there is nothing coming out of the “Biden” White House about this latest strike. Which begs the question of who ordered it, and the larger question of who is actually making decisions and why they are choosing to make those decisions. We have no idea what the goal or motivations of this person are.
Quite the opposite of Trump.
It should also be noted that Trump did not send a convoy of 40 trucks into Syria less than twenty four hours after assuming office. There’s a difference between deterrent strikes and a ground war.
Furthermore, there was- for better or worse- a strong counterbalance to Trump’s military policies. Who is there to scrutinize what is going on in Syria right now? How is it even possible to scrutinize someone who at this moment remains anonymous?
I am sure that Biden authorized the strike… there isn’t any reason to be concerned about his approval or lack of a statement.
Iran is always testing the US through their proxies, hit them hard back every time I say.
I rest my case ,you are an apologist” I am sure that Biden authorized the strike… there isn’t any reason to be concerned about his approval or lack of a statement.”
What, and then reward them with pallets of cash?
Damn, you were not supposed to remember that!
Biden couldn’t “authorize” anything. He doesn’t even tie his own shoes. He is a senile puppet, manipulated by an unidentified cabal of communists. Apparently, the cabal’s apologists are now active on CTH.
They are. A big swath of Americans love MUH WARS and Toby Keith is pennin’ his next war ditty soon to be #1 on the charts.
Meanwhile Liz, Adam, Cruisin’ Billy Kristol, Mitch and the gang are in approval over our Dunder Mifflin Pentagon leadership once again doing what they do: wasting tax payer money and losing since ’45.
I am equally as certain that Biden is making ZERO decisions…The man has full-blown, pre-Alzheimer’s, dementia.
He makes decisions the same way Mel Brooks ‘s Governor LaPetomane did in Blazing Saddles…
25th Amendment action underway by Democrat swampers…President Kamala Harris by Labor Day….
I agree that Biden isn’t making the decisions. They may allow him to think he’s making decisions but the reality is different.
As for Kamala she is “woke” window dressing whether she realizes it or not. I very much doubt that those running the show have any more respect for Harris than they do for Biden.
I think you are on the right track, but allow me to state the not so obvious:
there should NEVER BE ANYTHING assumed about the agenda and the ends served using military force.
support comes from displaying the facts…
and THAT is the way for a representative democracy to not only inform its citizens, but also to advertise to the global community, moral and lawful authority.
when the WH AND then the press goes dark on the use of force, there is always the danger you end up with skepticism and justified criticism, and a lack of confidence from citizens. As well, it creates a sense of normalcy about killing people.
we should NOT be engaged in killing people anywhere unless there is real and present danger. And that needs to be established, and the people informed.
We do not vote for presidents to wage secret wars….we understand the importance of operational security…
the “window” to inform is expected and is practical and useful with a short time window after such a “strike” is inititated.
THEN you establish legitimacy.
we have seen this film before eh?
Because you seem to be a jobama apologist with everyone of your comments not this”I am a contrarian on this matter.”
I am not an apologist. I think it is obvious that when a country tries to antagonize us, regardless who the President is, we should retaliate.
Iran operates through proxies in other countries… shame on the other countries for letting them do so… but prepared to get some of your things blown up every now and again.
And it should be scrutinized and reported in the press.
Make the left live up to the standards they use for everyone else.
Why do you keep “circling back” ?
My first laugh of the day!
I will bet that you actually think that this administration can be trusted to work for us and not themselves.
Unfortunately, for those of us who like Trump’s policies, we lost and Biden won.
They are in charge now, can do what they want.
I agree that Iran operates through other countries against the US… Unfortunately, we are now attacking those countries while the Biden Administration is kissing the Ayatollah’s behind.
I have no reason to believe any statement from this regime taken at face value should automatically be taken as fact. They are proven inveterate liars.
Don’t ask Paski about bombing Syria … she’ll have to circle back on that as she doesn’t know what’s happening because Beijing Biden hasn’t a clue as to what’s happening unless has puppet master tells him what to say.
Bomb, bomb, bomb…… bomb, bomb Iran!
An ,oldy, but a goodie,songwriter, “John Mc Cane…- – -…
Catchy tune…maybe you could make a song out of that.What’s a little plagerism? /sarc
Isn’t this the same administration that’s empowering Iran and some how we go and attack them? Is Iran a foe or friend of this administration?
Its about arms sales. Biden is honoring Lockheed and Boeing!
No check out ,the new colon powel,Raytheon just got a contract.. .
This is my confusion on these comments. Are we now letting Iran bomb for us? What gives? What am I missing?
Hussein Quixote needs to take out his assad windmill.
….but Ive never heard a good explanation as to why.
That’s the big question! Thanks for bringing it up!
My belief is that, as with Mubarak in Egypt, Quaddafi in Libya (and others), our deranged communist globalists wish to swing the balance of power away from Israel and, as a consequence, away from the US, by destabilizing them, and allowing Muslim Brotherhood types (also known as Barack’s Bros) to take power.
Their immediate goal is to populate these countries with Barack Bros who will give no quarter in their quest to weaken both Israel and the US.
that’s part of it.
the other part of it, is the consequence of biden administration shunting US oil security in keystone…
as expected bad actors have used his own policies to create disruptive global effects …aka the syria proxy…
so, now, dealing with the problem HE CREATED, action is necessary to prevent “things from spiraling out of control.
of course this is predictable. only details offering lighting.
This is also this administration ensuring that SA remains appeased as they are now fully in control of supply and thus oil pricing globally…again thanks in no small way to biden’s “new” green efforts.
eventually, the left radicals that vote democrat (and many on the conservative party) will start to understand what the real purpose of “new deal” wrt to oil energy is really about.
they will figure this out about the same time, they are hunting for radiation suits and a decent source of water.
because that is where we are headed….we have jackals at the controls now…
and the reckoning is narrowing.
stage 3 advances.
Because he dared to diss him when he crossed his red line.
Most think that it was Hillary who ordered, or insisted that Obama ordered, the death of Qadaffi in Lybia.
Hillary had ordered the State Department to produce a list of where all of Qadaffi’s money, valuables, and investments were stashed.
Then there was the tale of Sidney Blumenthal who was desperately trying to get ahold of that file. He phoned every one of Hillary’s aides to get one.
This leads one to think that Quadaffi was killed so Hillary could loot his fortune.
Hilary and Obama may each have had their own reasons but they worked on the same side of the street-against US interests.
The best reason I’ve heard is that, for a multitude of reasons, Assad refused to allow a Qatar/Turkey/EU pipeline to cross Syria.
The only reason that Assad/Syria didn’t get the Sadam/Iraq or Ghaddafi/Libya treatment was that the US couldn’t build a coalition to share the blame. So the US, with help from a few of its vassals, sorry allies, had to try it via the back door by bringing in and arming thousands of light infantry mercenaries, under various brand names the biggest being ISIS. If the Russians hadn’t moved to support their ally Syria, the plan would have succeeded and Syria would now resemble Libya with its quite large Christian population slaughtered, but there would be a pipeline under construction.
Islamaphobia Joe.
C’mon man, they’re not bad people!
It was a mostly peaceful airstrike.
Now for Jimi Hendrix: “Hey Joe where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?”
97% proportionate?
Corn Pop was a bad dude.
They were really miffed that PDJT cancelled their ISIS golden goose.
Now they have to start all over again to create a new one. And bestie McNoname isn’t around to corral the Rinos for support. Though, he is fortunately still able to vote democrat party.
Thats o.k., Liz Chaney is already in place, to take over where McNoname left off.
Billions in foreign military aid to be dispenced, so LOTS of opportunities for kickbacks from defence contractors, and those recieving the aid, as well.
And then theres the “rebuilding” aid,…
And CONGRESS controls the purse, WHAT a racket they got going!
This just in; Ukrainian and Russian tensions are rising. Putin is threatening to annex 3 local hog farms.
LMAO
Smokescreen for upcoming Iranian money laundering payoff.
This!
One thing about stealing an election. Those who helped you steal it now control you and call the shots.
“It will be interesting to see how the JoeBama administration handles the questions tomorrow about the bombing of a sovereign Syria; considering their prior 2017 position…”
That would come under the heading of DIVERSION TACTICS;
Malignant narcissists and sociopaths use word salad, circular conversations, ad hominem arguments, projection and gaslighting to disorient you and get you off track should you ever disagree with them or challenge them in any way. They do this in order to discredit, confuse and frustrate you, distract you from the main problem…. in this case how could they justify this action – they CAN’T.
Joe won’t remember it by tomorrow.
Bombing? What bombing? Nobody got bombed last night! Com’on man, you know I don’t drink.
The Cheney family must be happy.
How can you tell? I’ve never seen Liz or her daddy smile.
It’s just the old man who doesn’t smile. Liz is Dick with a bad wig. ?
FTA: Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the attack “destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian- backed militant groups.”
Sounds like they blew up the restrooms at a border crossing.
“Every Halloween the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring the toilets explode.”
With all the new battles coming up in the near future perhaps Hunter should renew his commission in the navy. He’ll make JoBama so proud.
Will there be anything else, Captain Crackhead, sir?
Yes, fetch me the Majors minor.
Is there a cat in the White House? Perhaps hesheit ordered the attack???
Catturd? That rascal.
Well, I know it wasn’t Suspicious Cat.
“Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the attack “destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian- backed militant groups.””
Three outhouses and four tents. And all this for the bargain price of only $250 million.
“Outhouses?” Surely you jest.
Boy would I have lost the bet if I bet on what I said would be how long before Biden had America in another war. DAMN. Barely a month in office….
Why do I have a feeling that this is only the beginning of many bombings & probably invasions prior to summer eve begins.
Quit being a lightweight, if another country (Iran) antagonizes the US with bombings, we better be prepared to hit them back hard.
Lol. Who is “we”? “We” might be someone’s Family , might it be yours “Mr moderate”?
Are you prepared? We actually have other enemies who are competent, whislt we have no visibly competent leadership, we have a “J.V.” at best so again I’ll ask, are you prepared?
JV–I think Biden is more of a Kindergartener or Pre-Schooler and that is probably giving him more credit than he deserves.
I am prepared and expecting our military, with the approval of the President, to protect us against unprovoked attacks from any country including Iran.
Remember the poor Irani general who lost his life?
As I rolled through the Taco Bell drive thru today I was quivering in fear of both Iran and Syria.
But Biden didn’t strike at Iran. He struck Syria. He’s still kissing the Ayatollah’s behind as they continuing working on their nukes and preparing to strike at the US.
send them some unmarked money. That should do it. Worked for Obama.
That’s one way to keep the public from noticing that Biden is destroying the US.
The same Iran they gave pallets of cash to! And, is this why Democrats are calling for Biden to have launch code access removed? My, but Kamala moved quickly!
I’m willing to guess that exactly why she is publicly complaining about not being in the loop, so they can all demand she be placed “in the loop” and Xiden can fade from view.
The Biden-Harris administration is doing a little prospecting. For “the good of the country,” of course. And, because of “reasons.” Why? They know there’s nothing neoconned GOPhers love more than airstrikes in west Asia.
“….And that was the problem for the Pentagon. President Trump was undoing the industrial war machine; and there are trillions at stake on that policy issue alone. “
Harry Truman did say one Pentagon was one too many.
But we have at least THREE; State Dept., CIA AND the Pentagon,…but the worst resides in the Capitol building.
This seems to be a double hitter by the Biden Dictatorship. General Lloyd Austin is not only approved of by the Chinese but the defense contractor Raytheon Technologies Co. is in the money now from the looks of it.
So lets go out and bomb a country because one yet unidentified contractor was killed and one member of our military was wounded. This is just plain NUTS!
“We’re confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militants that conducted the strikes,” referring to a Feb. 15 rocket attack in northern Iraq that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a U.S. service member.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he recommended the action to Biden.
The Chinese leadership is banking on Austin to “ease tension with China” while also increasing U.S. influence in the Middle East, the newspaper suggested. His appointment would also signal a return to “normal” of military and government exchanges between the two superpowers.
Retired General Lloyd Austin, President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for defense secretary, may get as much as $1.7 million in payments tied to the board seat he’d be giving up at defense contractor Raytheon Technologies Co.
This is right on target. EVERYTHING that Beijing Biden and the DC crowd is doing is to benefit China and Wall Street.
Our presence in Afghanistan is to keep Muslims out of China and protect Chinese mining interests.
Our presence in the Middle East is to ensure protection of Chinese oil access.
In return Wall Street gets job outsourcing opportunities in China and access to their large market.
The EU getting Middle East oil access & protection from us is also a side kicker in all of this.
Eisenhower called Preventive War an invention of Hitler, so he was obviously a no action weak old fool who never even once got us into a war …. only got us out of them … … kind of like that Trump fellow was trying to do … … the complete wrong direction … … just ask Liz Chaney … … Eisenhower the Sissy Boy that is, not Hitler and Biden the Warriors … .. and probably could not get past private in anyone’s modern Woke Army today, as everyone now knows Preventive War leads to peace, a.k.a attacking first, and early and often, like voting early and often in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee, will make everyone safer, just ask some older Japanese if you don’t believe me.
So spread the news… that with Mighty Joe Biden America is back! To help the helpless! To befriend the friendless! And to defeat … … … … the feetless!
“Preventive War” is a contradiction in terms used to distract us from the real purpose of the strike. Syria is a smaller military from the U.S. so retaliation is not feared. Preventive war sounds like the 1960s Military Intelligence.
I wonder if it was staged to give out the impression that HidenBiden is on top of things ,punishing Iran for their recent attacks on USA abroad. Or they need to start a war to feed the complex of war profiteers. Biden is surrounded by malicious handlers. people who know damn well they stole the Presidency
They are capable of doing anything they want given how low down these people are.
You know, the way I see all of this is: We are helping the bad guys with their plan. How you say? Well every time we point out all of the failings of Old Joe we help bring on Amendment #25. Joe gets kicked out for mental failings and Kamala gets placed in as the new wonderful first female president. Then again what choice is there? Personalty I believe that was the plan all along.
In reality, the Biden Pirate Administration is no different than would be a Kamala Administration. Biden and Kamala in her turn will be the public proxies of the same group that creates the Executive orders Biden currently signs.
A very sane responce Ray.
I have no doubt that’s been the plan from the start! Kamala couldn’t get elected dog catcher by the people in CA
primary! It was so obvious how all the Dem candidates suddenly were pulling out & backing Joebama, as if he were the 2nd coming! Knowing full well he was “slipping mentally”! I believe Obama hand picked Kamala as VP, she was who “They” wanted running country!
So let’s see how long Joebama is in before Kamobama is sitting on Oval Office!
I fully agree, Ann. Remember all the discussion about Kamala when the Democratic primaries were beginning. All the talk that Kamala Harris was the “handpicked” candidate by Barack Obama. How being a new Senator, her star rising quickly, just like Obama.
However, once on the main stage and people other than Californians got to know just the type of person, politician she was she fell flat on her smug, arrogant face.
IMO, Kamala Harris is the heir apparent to Obama. And Kamala is his way of staying in the background and really getting his third term. Right now, it’s a bit hidden, how the Democrats are carrying forward Obama’s agenda.
Using Susan Rice as Domestic Advisor to good ol’ Joe, they are moving as quickly as possible with a pen and a phone to undo anything that Trump did to improve the economy and life for Americans so we are back to the level Obama left the country in, then the REAL globalist agenda can begin. And they are having to move quickly as poor old Joe is deteriorating much quicker than they thought he would. Heck, journalists in other countries are beginning to write about it and Joe Biden hasn’t been in for 2 months.
Not sure what “medical” issue they’ll strap to good old Joe. I really don’t think that they will let it be dementia. No, I think there will have to be a sort of martyrdom for Joe. He deserves it, right?
Should something “happen” to Joe, Kamala will have no more power than Biden. Neither Biden nor Harris are the ones in control of the government. They are both figureheads.
This crossed in my email from several sites. Pelosi & Kamala Move To Steal Nuke Codes From Biden https://www.thebeltwayreport.com/2021/02/red-alert-pelosi-kamala-move-to-steal-nuke-codes-from-biden/
In addition to this article, make sure and watch the video of the exchange between Sen. Kennedy and Tanden. God bless this man for his persistence in questing her about her insulting tweets (thousands) that she deleted before her nomination and her motives.
I have to wonder how the military would feel if the camel had the launch codes. Bad enough slojo has them….Or does he?
Just one more step taken to gain full unelected bureaucratic Communist control.
Crazy Nancy wanted to take the codes from Pres. Trump also .Why does Crazy Nancy want the launch codes?
Evil doesn’t care about hypocrisy.
“he thought he was ordering more jello pudding”
Tapioca.
… and my Mom would say: “Joey, have some Tapioca Pudding. It’ll put hair on your legs, and that’ll come in handy one day.” And sonofabitch! That leg hair did come in handy! You see, folks, my Mom was a smart, housewife from Scranton… a real tough old bird. And she knew a thing or two about a thing or two… especially when it came to staying in the kitchen and making desserts for her boys…
etc. etc.
While we are on the subject of Biden. Who is the great ally of Syria, oh yes, that would be Russia. But wait didn’t Russia help steal or should I say flip votes for you in the 2020 election.
It looks like Biden can’t expect any cooperation from Russia in the near future.
The New York Slimes headline reads:
“Biden orders airstrike in Syria targeting Iran-backed militias”
… as written at MSN online front page.
Media cheers on warmonger Joe Biden*
Wrong thread… delete delete delete!
Obama: “I’m pretty good at killing people.”
Biden: “Hold my beer and watch this.”
You know…..we effectively don’t have a President of the United States!!!!!
OH MY GOD!
Exactly this.
We have a Figurehead in that position, which is exactly what the Administrative (Bureaucrat) State needs to keep itself in charge.
Sometimes I think that President Trump was the first actual President in that position since Ronald Reagan, and before that Eisenhower, and briefly Kennedy, all the others simply allowing the bureaucracy, whether the 7th floor at State or the Pentagon call the shots for what the President will be allowed to do.
Yes – POTUSDJT was the first real leader in the WH in decades…IMO.
i read that Camel is upset she wasn’t informed about the Syria strike – wonder who called that – they can pretend it was Joe but I doubt it. We seem to be run by an unseen committee.
JoeBama thought he was ordering lime Jell-O before his afternoon nap time.
Welp…..THAT didn’t take long……
It was a nice four years without dropping bombs all over the place.
At this point, we must consider the possibility of a rogue Pentagon/ Department of Defense.
After all, it is not as though corruption is not present in our military and the best example would be the Fat Leonard Scandal.
His Fraudulency II truly is the puppet President. Nero’s Rome was in better hands.
Obombie & Reptillary backed CIA Operation Zero Footprint armed big Mo overthrows in Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt and Libya. Then CIA Operation Timber Sycamore smuggled Libyan weapons through Bengazi to CIA backed ISIS in Syria. Super power piracy.
it will interesting to watch the contortions on why the administration continued the Iran nuclear talks while planning a retaliatory strike. Seems the Iranians might find the talks a bit disingenuous. Nothing a few pallets of cash can’t fix tho.
I would like to point out to the author of this blog the work of the french intellectual Thierry Meyssan. He is the leader of the Voltaire Network. According to his analysis, the strategy the Pentagon has been following, was worked out by Admiral Cebrowski.
See for instance this article: https://www.voltairenet.org/article197541.html
Squirrel!
This administration has crashed and burned in magnificent fashion since being installed. The old formula was to rally America with war. Nobody buys it, especially from this group. This looks like some random bombing marketing.
This action from a position is illegitimacy is not good.
I wonder when they’re going to tell Joe the authorization was in that last stack of executive orders he signed.
“You know, the thing.”
The phrase “I’m confident that…” is code for “No telling what the hell happened.”
Are they starting the money laundering thing again.
Obaaama is back. Destabilizing the middle east again.
Do we even know it actually happened?
Video? No one is censoring Iranian leadership on Twitter.
Are they acting mad, upset, perplexed?
We were TOLD airstrikes happened.
Did they, though…really?
In this case we can be certain that it happened, even the dead man’s name is known. I think we can be pretty sure also that, whilst the groups involved in the attack in northern Iraq and this one may share a common name, they have nothing operationally to do with each other. This is probably more to do with easing ISIS traffic over the border in that area, as reinforcements are needed to replace those already in Syria that are being systematically wiped out by the Syrians and Russians, not the US Coalition.
The major result is likely to be another increase in the amount of attacks on US convoys in Iraq, currently running at one every couple of days. The US is now regarded as an illegal occupier by the Iraqi Parliament and is subject to increasing harassment and not just by its Shiite (sometimes Iranian backed) military units.
This is a very slippery slope the US is on, with its military going to lash out at every opportunity.
The State Department is searching for a whipping boy before going public. Watch for another Rose Garden statement to explain “everything is fine.” We meant to do that, but it was so obvious we didn’t think it needed justification.
