Rockets hit US base in Iraq, 1 contractor killed, 1 servicemember injured
A rocket attack near a US-led coalition base in northern Iraq’s Erbil killed a US-led contractor and wounded at least eight other people, including a US servicemember. Four rockets hit the area between the Erbil airport and the base in the semi-autonomous Kurdish-run territory. Rocket attacks against US forces increased after the assassination of a top Iranian commander in January last year.
Well that didn’t take long. Now that we have elected a President that can be pushed around like a shopping cart the Iranian government has moved in and is shooting rockets at our people. I guess President Biden lifting the sanctions on the Houthi in Yemen last week sent just the right message....” come and kick us in the junk anytime you like.”
They had a vote to kick us out. It passed. We should respect democracy and leave.
Maybe that's a sign that we should get the hell out.
Americans were never invited, they should let them deal with it themselves. 9/11 was our governments fault.
What’s up with all you ding dongs blaming this on Biden? Trump was the one that instigated the whole thing with his illegal assasination. We don’t even know if it was backed or perpetrated by Iran. You ding dings just spin and spin...it’s like all you are good at. Don’t worry, Biden will fix it.
Prepare for war
Here we go again.
So, what’s Beijing Biden’s course of action? Let me guess...the media is going to flip this into emotional rhetoric like this: Iran fires munitions at US base out of unrelenting grief. The Iranian people still mourn the violent assasination of Middle Eastern Man, Qasem Soleimani; a devout Muslim, Father, & Husband to many. Qasem was ruthlessly targeted by former President, Donald John Trump. Sources close to Trump claim he was glad to have, “ordered a hit on that monster.” CNN believes Qasem was targeted due to his profound religious beliefs & ethnicity. President Joe Biden, a devout Catholic who attends Church weekly, will be steadfast in his approach to remedy the situation; after he finishes his game of MarioCart & takes a nap with his Dogs. #Getvaxxedandtriplemasks
I was so surprised that a car hit me when I was standing in the middle of the road.
Funny ain't it when they fear a POTUS they hide in caves, when they dont it is a steady drum beat of hit and run
Well this is unfortunate :(
Thanks Beijing Biden
It's the "allies" Turks.
"A top Iranian commander" Oh, did you mean Qassem Soleimani, the ARCH-TERRORIST who was taken out by drone strike after killing hundreds of US servicemen, murdering tens of thousands in Iran's proxy wars throughout the Middle East and directly threatening US allies in the region? Funny how killing terrorists is somehow bad, all of a sudden. As for the rocket strike - that couldn't have anything to do with a pro-Iranian US administration coming to power, could it now? There were close to zero of those when Trump was in power. The Iranians and their allies were all too aware of the potential backlash of such an action.
