White House: Iran Aiding Attacks on U.S. Bases in Iraq and Syria

JOHN HAYWARD

White House communications official John Kirby said on Monday that Iran is “actively facilitating” rocket and drone attacks by Shiite militias against bases housing American troops in Iraq and Syria.

Kirby said the White House has noted “an uptick in rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed proxy groups against military bases housing U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria” since Israel commenced its response to the savage Hamas attack of October 7.

“We’re deeply concerned about the potential for any significant escalation of these attacks in the days ahead,” he said.

It’s not like Iran has been a state sponsor of terror since, say, the fall of the Shah. Wonder where they got the cash for all this? Thanks Admiral, now about Hamas and those M-4s..

The solution is simple—Get the fuck out of Syria and Iraq! Can someone remind me what we are accomplishing there, other than giving assorted Islamic groups some much needed target practice?

We are bringing them democracy silly.

Yeah, that’ll work. Buncha muh-fuggers can’t figure out how to use a toilet and we’re expecting them to stand up a Parliamentary system? It is to laugh…🤣🤣🤣

Freedom is a hard won thing!

I had to recite that poem as a child. The woman who taught me that poem was married to a former Catholic priest who had been shot in the back by some KKK types back in the ‘60’s while he was marching for civil rights and saw two of his friends killed at that same march, one of whom was an Episcopalian minister. I’m still trying to wrap my head around a Catholic and an Anglican agreeing on anything but, there it is. There was a PBS documentary made about this, it was something along the lines of “Here I am, send me!” Not trying to say anything in particular, but the line in your meme brought it to mind.

And, since the internet is all powerful: 6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9 He said, “Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ 10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes.[a] Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” 11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?” And he answered: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged, 12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken. 13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so… Read more »

It’s with great sadness that I realize I left the MIC too soon: Army accepts prototypes of the most advanced version of IVAS | Article | The United States Army

Hard to believe, but just over a year ago I still had my IVAS 1.0. There was nothing quite like having a $46k piece of equipment at home. It was especially great for family get-togethers after a few drinks.

The IVAS 1.2 looks to have fixed some of my gripes as an Advisor, so maybe my bitching had some small effect. The more I think about it, the more I wish I’d have at least applied to become a remote instructor, travelling to Bragg and other installations to conduct training. I may have to reach out.

Well, let’s get involved in a 3rd “skirmish “. Today at lunch, I saw a car with a bumper sticker that read, BYDON 2020. Sure would have liked to meet the owner, and see what they think of their pResident now, if he is living up to their expectations.

They probably would have said “I bought it used and it was on there when I bought it “. Goo gone and a few minutes work would have polished it up nicely. Left on there, it’s value, to me, was greatly diminished.

Remember that turd named Milley?

That’s why.

fm2176

Never heard of him. I learned early on to brain dump anything not pertinent to the school/mission at hand. Worked for EIB, ask me about the M21 anti-tank mine or the MK19. Worked for promotion boards, ask me the maximum effective range of the M249 for an area target. Works for retired me wrapped snugly in my DD-214 woobie, who the hell is this Milley guy?

But seriously, I hope he enjoys his own DD-214 and the knowledge that his days as a “Quiet Professional” were forever tarnished by his latter career and that his reputation was utterly destroyed (in the minds of many of us who served under him) by his time as CJCS.

Know your pink/pinko goofball:

-Kirby sucks (see below).

-The Admiral (Ret.) blows.

Anyone ask what the citizens of those countries want, or are we still insisting that “they don’t fucking know any better” because… {checks notes} Vikky Nuland and Samantha Power said so?

‘If only women were in charge’, eh?

We keep acting like this, with everything that has walked over our border unaccounted for, we’re gonna get our shit pushed.

Yep. If terror cells decide to activate, a majority of us here on TAH are well armed and prepared to repel them. If I see a bunch of paragliders coming in, I’m smoking them.

Well, no shit? Really? This is news all of a sudden why? Way back in 2005 the DOD was stating Iran was adding insurgents in Iraq. We did nothing then, why is it an issue now? We need to GTF out of the Middle East and let them all sort it out. The Saudis can fight Iran, Israel can kuck everyones ass, and whoever is left can have the place.

fm2176

This is news because, well, our Most Popular President and Unchallenged Leader of the Free World ™ needs to be reelected. What better way than to bring to light Iran’s sudden involvement in every conflict in that region? It’s news to millions of Americans who watch CNN daily and who have NYT digital subscriptions. Iran’s always been a non-player on the world stage. They’re like North Korea, Middle East Edition. Big bark, no bite. Well, we just learned otherwise. DOD is gonna DOD, and those reports back in ’05 were just trying to get more funding and were Bush-era propaganda. You know, the Bad Man of the 2000s until Trump supplanted him and he became best buddies with the other UniParty politicians. For the past 45 years Iran has been a non-issue, but now the threat is real.

We need a strong response to Iran. Perhaps some military strikes, conventional forces in Israel, and while we’re at it, “military advisors” in Ukraine. Distract us, oh Great Leader, and you’ll surely prove yourself as a strong and untarnished shoe-in who must be given four more years in office.

It’s too early for so much sarcasm. The automatic drip hasn’t even started, though.

“A new weapon of war is on the loose,…”

I am awestruck. After over twenty years of US drones being used to kill our enemies our genius strategerists in the Pentagon and elsewhere are shocked! when the enemy dares to shoot back. There are news reports today that the Israeli ground offensive is being delayed, at the urging of the US, until we can deploy defenses to protect our troops from drones & rockets.Tuberville should make that hold on promotions permanent.

D’ worry, the usual suspects will be along shortly with the usual “wimen cannae do combat” to explain how that is all impossible.

Hamas had raided the post and taken more than 50 Israeli military personnel hostage.”

Now that’s embarrassing. Between this and the general lack of means of self defense in towns near the border it almost looks like the Israelis don’t take their situation seriously. And if they don’t, why should I?
