2. Were they Katyushas? A drone strike? Why didn't Trump stop them?
Does this have anything to do with something crazy that (picks name out of hat*) Rick Wiles said recently?
*Could have been Jim Bakker, Franklin Graham, or any of a host of other names.

3. If it was a drone strike, it was a US drone.
The "protesters" who stormed the US embassy were pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen. So the drone strike would be payback for the attack on the embassy, which was payback for US airstrikes against Iranian-backed militia, which was payback for shelling attacks on US bases by Iranian-backed militia.
Iranians wanted to play hardball and pull a Benghazi. Too bad it's trump and not Barry in the White House.

14. I hope this doesn't escalate, but to say I have a "sinking feeling"
would be an understatement
Iran didn't think Trump would strike back after they raided the Embassy. Iran was wrong. :-)

Soleimani - may he be roasting in Hell turning on a spit rammed up his ... and out his mouth - has killed hundreds or thousands of US troops through his proxies and had snuck into Iraq where his proxies had just invaded US soil. Killing him was a long delayed response to his acts of war against the US, not an assassination. Sounds like one or more leaders of one of his proxy groups got killed as well, piss be upon him.

I’m really enjoying the threads about this US victory over there. So many are twisting themselves into knots trying to come up with reasons this is horrible. A very slight few are recognizing it for what it was ... a good shoot.

I hope House Dems are stupid enough to do Impeachment Investigation 2.0 over this.

Huh. You wouldn't think the DUmmies would find a way to blame Christian pastors for this (As much as the DUmmies hate all Christians, this clearly had nothing to do with them), yet they managed to!
