It's amazing how folks swallow the Iran propaganda. The same people who planned and initiated a coup on Trump in 2020 have been wanting a war with Iran for almost half a century. I don't believe a word they say.

This is so far beyond my pay grade...soldiers are not meant to be cannon fodder for Iran and the groups which they support. I never worried about this when our son was in Iraq.

I would rather all assets be removed and then seriously considering obliterating the region. We are trying to reason with pit bull and I am not a war hawk

When you have a weak commander in chief, there are consequences.

TRENTON, N.J. (CBS) – Soldiers from New Jersey are joining the fight against an Islamic militant group in the Middle East. This will be the largest deployment of New Jersey Army National Guard soldiers since 2008.

Lt. Col. Omar Minott is among 1,500 New Jersey Army National Guard soldiers deploying to Iraq and Syria. This is his fifth deployment to the Middle East, he said.

His deployment is part of Operation Inherent Resolve, a military campaign to defeat ISIS.

"We have the people we need, we have the training that we need, we have the equipment that we need to fight and win," Minott said.

ALBAWABA- In a significant development, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has officially announced its responsibility for a ballistic missile strike on Erbil, Iraq. The target was revealed to be a spy headquarters associated with terrorist elements.

According to security sources cited by Reuters, the aftermath of the attack led to the suspension of air traffic at Erbil Airport, as explosions echoed throughout the city.

Earlier reports also indicated multiple attacks in the region, with the American Consulate in Erbil reportedly targeted by drones.

Harir Air Base and Erbil International Airport were subjected to strikes involving both missiles and drones.

We just need to send them more cash. That’s all.

I’m sure Biden is all over it with a sweet deal to get 10% kickback for the big guy.
