How do you feel about the missile attack near US forces in Iraq?

No BDA yet, but must not be much. Happened about 15 mins. ago.

I am now watching it on several channels. They launched at least a dozen ballistic missiles from Iran. Killing a general from another country is considered an act of war. Unless Congress starts asserting its authority to declare war, we are going to continue to have the Executive branch overreaching. This is not only my opinuon, but that of several Senators including Rand Paul.

I was wrong. I figured Iran would do nothing except press releases condemning the US attack...

Iran says it fired missiles at Iraqi air base housing U.S. troops

According to State TV, Iran has launched “tens” of surface-to-surface missiles at Iraq’s Ain Assad air base housing U.S. troops over America’s killing of a top Iranian general.

Guess it's not a priority. FFE, splash over. Splash out.

I think this will probably bring us back to same situation we were in last week.

No US casualties. If this is the extent of Iran's response to the death of Soleimani then they have capitulated. Iran does not want war with the US and Trump wants to bring home the troops. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail. Washington and the press seem to be the only entities interest in a war.
