I don't know if they want US troops in the region to have second thoughts, lower morale etc or they are trying to bait the US into a full fledged war in which they would use that to justify 9/11 type terror attacks in the US.
RIP those servicemen killed
We are living in crazy times where some perceive the enemy as a victim. It's crazy to think that a Terrorist group could sneak attack an ally of the US and torture, rape and murder, men, women, children and babies and here at home we have marches, rallies and protests in favor of the butchering barbarians?
Iran and their ilk don't need a reason to attack us like it was 9/11 again. I can hear the WH and their media telling us that we somehow deserved it.
It is sick to think but can we put it past them that the Left doesn't have Covid to seize on and use as a political weapon this election year so allowing a terrorist strike in a major US city might be the next best thing in their twisted minds. I can hear Jean Pierre now. This attack would not have happened if Trump hadn't said those mean things about Iran. We have 100 FBI agents, the CIA and other intelligence agencies, 14 Nobel Laureates in economics, Hunter and Corn Pop that bad dude, telling us so.....
I think when a missile is detected they need to pinpoint the launch spot and send a Tomahawk to obliterate that area.
Doing nothing as Biden has been doing is only encouraging these idiots to test the boundaries.
Exactly as said 2 posts before - Israel put us into this situation. They are powerful to handle this down business now. We don't need to be supporting Israel non-stop across the world. Eventually, it will come onto American land.
No, Democrat voters put us in this situation by voting for an administration that funds terrorism. Take a bow.
Israel cannot draw the USA into this mess without US involvement. Let's face it, if the USA wanted the war in Gaza over, it would be over tomorrow. Israel cannot conduct that war with US bombs and funds. It simply does not have the economy to support that kind of bombardment.
So, for whatever reason, the USA is supporting Israel in Gaza, and increasing tensions by bombing Iranian proxies throughout the region and even assassinating prominent Iranians and ordering US backed groups to conduct a terrorist attack in Iran.
The attacks all over the Middle East are escalating because of Israel. We wanted no part of this, if we wanted to start a war with Iran we didn’t need to wait for the war in Israel.
Israel is using our bombs and funds, maybe that was a typo.
— Iran said Sunday it successfully launched three satellites into space with a rocket that had multiple failures in the past, the latest for a program that the West says improves Tehran’s ballistic missiles.
We shouldn’t have a base in Jordan. But it’s still sad to see. I don’t really understand who carried out the attack, it just says Iran backed militants. It’s clear that all the riffraff of the world have declared war on US interest, likely due to our rudderless leadership.
DEMOCRATIC US PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
"The three American service members we lost were patriots in the highest sense. And their ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten by our nation ... We will carry on their commitment to fight terrorism. And have no doubt - we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing."
REPUBLICAN FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP "The drone attack on a U.S. Military Installation in Jordan, killing 3 American service members, and wounding many more, marks a horrible day for America ... This brazen attack on the United States is yet another horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden's weakness and surrender."
LLOYD AUSTIN, US DEFENSE SECRETARY
"Iran-backed militias are responsible for these continued attacks on U.S. forces, and we will respond at a time and place of our choosing."
It's crazy to think that a Terrorist group could sneak attack an ally .
Quite. And yet that is what we're being told to believe.
