We pretty much already burned Iraq to the ground. And they did not even attack us. We can't know where this is all going yet until the players and motives are more clear, but it is big and has the potential to blow the lid off the whole region and mire us there for the next couple decades. Just when we were finally getting the whole thing behind us.
It's not how you see it, but it's how they will take this, This is huge and a major conflict could come from this. They won't take this likely, and in an election year that's not good. Yes he was a very bad guy, but to them he was held high.
Who cares, except for the Terrorist loving Democrat.
Obama stared 3 unnecessary wars, and moved 150,000 troops into Afghanistan in a disastrous attempt at nation building. This is a pin prick in comparison.
One thing you can discern from all the Trump cheerleaders on this thread is just how little they understand the Middle East, or the rest of the world, for that matter.
Make no mistake, these same people screamed themselves hoarse cheering on the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
The Pentagon has comfirmed that Trump ordered the strike. It will be met with severe reprisals against US and Israeli interests in the region and possibly in the US. This is what we worried about when Trump won - that he would overreact and get the nation involved in yet another war.
This region is the most nonsensical complicated place in the world. It should be saddam Hussein fighting the Iranians but we had to stick our noses in. Now we have to hit Iran ever time they act like desperate religious murdering fanactics in the region?
Supposedly it was an assassination of commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, but US nor Iran has confirmed it. Nor is it clear who fired the missiles.
Things are spinning out of control fast in Iraq.
Not surprising the same posters who have parroted Trump in saying we must pull out of Iraq, now celebrate it when we do the opposite. Anything goes.

OK just watch how this plays out, it's about to get ugly, just in time for the elections.
You really think this is going to send a message to Iran? You honestly think they are remotely afraid of the United States? They have been taking advantage of America's follies in the region for 40 years straight. They had their proxies kill American soldiers in Beirut and during the Second Iraq War. America did nothing in retaliation. They know push comes to shove America always backs down. What makes you so sure its going to be different this time?
....Umm, yeah.
I don't think you appreciate how big a deal this is to them. This would be on par with the US losing Eisenhower in WW2.
As to them being afraid of the US....they don't have nukes to prevent an invasion, if they aren't afraid of the US then they are incredibly stupid.
The fact that the US is now retaliating against them harshly should absolutely scare the hell out of them. It would take very little for the US to absolutely cripple their country with air strikes and there would be nothing they could do about it.

Oh please, you have no clue what Hillary what of already got us into. You complained about the Syria withdrawal so which is it, you play both sides of the fence. Trump has handled the Middle East better than previous presidents so far.
