Yep. Iran shouldn't have played the game of attacking our embassy. I fully believe that some CIA dipshits were instigating that attack. They were desperately trying to give trump a Benghazi situation. But trump acted too fast and ended that shite before it got bad.

I don’t think Trump has any want for regime change or boots on the ground. He is going to wipe them out from the air.

They must be thinking that TRUMP doesn't have enough political support to strike them back during an election year. I think they maybe wrong about that since the NeoCons have been dying for a chance to bomb the shite out of Iran.


There is a difference in Iran and the fight against say ISIS in that Iran has a central Govt and military that is the aggressor. This makes strategic bombings more effective for us and hopefully we can break them without sending in many ground troops

Why the frick are they suddenly so confident and brazen?

The MDP is between a rock and a hard place. They're in power right now as Hassan Rouhani is President. However, he is not liked by the more hardline elements in Iran or the more Western secular elements. In 2013, he won the election by over 30 percentage points. In 2017, that was cut in half. If Rouhani thinks he needs the hardline support in 2021, he'll be more aggressive in his posture towards us. That's my take, but crazy4lsu needs to get in here. He's a Middle Eastern encyclopedia.

A dud would be a bunch of shitty rockets on lame targets with minimal casualties and very few U.S. casualties

A big deal would be targeted bunker busting cruise missiles with over 100 U.S. casualties

The truth could literally be either of these extremes

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran state TV says Tehran 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.

State TV described it early Wednesday as Tehran’s revenge operation over the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

U.S. forces could not be immediately reached for comment.

Ain Assad air base is located in Iraq’s western Anbar province. It was first used by American forces after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. It later saw American troops stationed there amid the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.

State TV said the operation’s name was “Marytr Soleimani.” It said the Guard’s aerospace division, which controls Iran’s missile program, launched the attack.

I wonder if the media will keep pretending this is the first rocket attack by Iran?

Interesting. Attacking this base is common.

Absolutely, Iran TV amplifies it and I believe forces us to respond. We can’t claim nothingburger when they are claiming open attacks.

How do you wipe someone out through air? You can decimate their infrastructure but you don't "wipe them out". We planning on killing the civilians who we also, on this board, act like we care about and support for regime change?

That is How you wipe someone out destroying military hardware doesn't change shite
