This is their retaliation for their dead General. Sorry to say it will not end well for them.
In all likelihood, it will not.

All you need is CNN, WaPo or the rest to tell you which way to swing today.
Yep. The only principles we are motivated by is disliking Trump because...well just because. Everyone stance we take on every issue in which we disagree with him is motivated by this and this alone.
Not by any principles we may have or learning we may have engaged in on the topic.
Oh I remember why that is now ..we liberals love us some terrorists and are disloyal Americans.
I mean, it couldn't be that we just think pulling out of the nuclear agreement and trying to shut down virtually the entire economy if Iran. the oil exports that Trump blocked with sanctions alone are forty percent of their entire national economy...when they were complying with said agreement.. which the majority of the world approved of. ..was a royally, royally stupid idea. And most of the world agrees with us on that.
But yeah, the only reason we oppose anything he does is because we hate America and can't get over him winning the election. No deep thinking or principles involved. Whatever.

Oh and BTW, who has died? Are you actually hoping for that?
Oh, please. Stop with the idiotic accusals already. My Dad was career US Army. The last thing I want is for our troops to die in yet another senseless war.

Two US facilities have been hit by Iranian missiles. First one was at Asad Air Base which is in western Iraq. That base was vital for Syria operations. Second is at Erbil, North Iraq - crucial for protecting Kurdistan region.

Those ballistic missiles pose no threat to Israel. It's more than 500 miles from Iran to Israel. Assuming one of those old ballistic missiles could reach Israel, their Iron Dome system would make short work of it. They would have plenty of warning since it's so far away.

Face it. You will always complain about Trump, no matter what he does. TDS
How did you assign blame for our wars in the Middle East to three Democrats and zero Republicans? How does that work?Dwight Eisenhower (presided over the US engineered overthrow of the Iranian democracy in 1953 to reinstate the brutal Shah who promptly opened Iran's oil fields to American corporations in gratitude), George Bush and now Donald Trump had nothing to do with it?
