Vote right ~ this will be coming to your towns soon enough.

Sorry for the crappy pic ~ was sent from my sister {I sure as s_hit don’t watch cnn.}

And yes, my niece just happens to be over there now. Not sure if at her base but we’ve heard she’s o.k. She’s in Intel so she won’t tell us anything.

You can’t bomb people back to the Stone Age if they are already there.

Best you can do is cut them off financially from the rest of the world. Freeze their bank accounts, seize assets, all stuff I think we were doing previously. When I say we I’m not sure if it was the US or NATO doing it. Sure as heck wasn’t the UN.

Some entity helped them far enough out of the stone age to have unmanned drones capable of hitting a target where are forces are operating.



Who is that runs and maintains the gps system worldwide? Is it international with multiple countries having their own systems or a US thing? I'm wondering if a toggle switch might be helpful. As in when a unidentified bogie is heading your way, just wiggle the switch to show positions a half mile off or something. Or are these guided drones or missiles not noticed on radar until its too late?

Didn’t that senile child molester just release billions to Iran or is this a coincidence?

Locate the base, village, city, wherever the drone was launched from and level it. No need to do anything other than that. If it happens again, level 5 bases, my guess is that would be the end of it.

That, plus make Iran feel some major loss, they don't seem to care about their proxies enough. Should have never let up on them to begin with.:mad:

Gaza is a warning for Iran. Iran leadership knows it’s coming. No hole is deep enough for those rats. 😉

As soon as Gaza’s finished, Lebanon is next.

We’re ready for Iran, but need more time to plan for what happens after…. The exit strategy. I assume Pakistan and Turkey will want a piece of that economy. 😉

By the way, guess who’s getting F16’s 😜

Joe has drug the USA into another fine mess. Biden could have stepped back and stayed outta all this.

Yup. Don't talk about it or make big threats or press releases, just hit em back hard, and carry on.

This fucking pisses me off. There have been over 150 attacks on Americans, unanswered except for a few small explosions. This has been going on since October 7th, the day Hamas entered Israel, brutalizing and killing over 1,200 people, most of them civilians. Over 200 civilians were taken hostage, including American citizens. About 100 are still in captivity.

An attack on a US military base in Iraq on Christmas Day injured three, leaving Army pilot CWO4 Garrett Illerbrunn in a coma from head injuries. The Biden administration warned Houthis they were going to attack a munitions and operations facility in response to that attack before sending the heat, so the Houthis could evacuate and there wouldn't be any human casualties. What's the use of retaliation if the target knows in advance? Any important material and personnel were removed from the site before its destruction.

On January 3rd, Biden also warned Iran in advance that US intelligence indicated a memorial gathering in Iran for Qasem Soleimani, the general responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American troops and that Trump had killed at the Baghdad airport in 2020, was going to be targeted by a terror attack. Iran ignored the communication, and almost 100 people were killed by a bomb.

If US intelligence agencies have that sort of detailed information available, it means they are infiltrating Iran and have access to internal affairs. I have no doubt the CIA knows exactly who in the Iranian government is making decisions to fund proxies in Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, and knows how and when arms are shipped to those countries.

Instead of killing key figures in the Iranian Republican Guard, as Trump did with Soleimani, and destroying military arms in transit from Iran, Biden is allowing them to finance and arm groups that are attacking, and have now killed and injured, American troops in the Middle East.

Imagine the pain of parents and families of those dead soldiers, knowing that their sons died because the President of the United States is a pusillanimous and feckless fool engaged in appeasement of a terrorist state. They would be alive if Biden had authorized appropriate military reprisal for the dozens of previous attacks on our troops that began four months ago. Instead he has blown up five or six buildings.

Now that troops have been killed, there still hasn't been a military response that would act as a clear deterrent and message to the Islamist controlled Iranian government. Instead, this is what passes for leadership:

“We had a tough day last night in the Middle East. We lost three brave souls in an attack on one of our bases,” he said. After the moment of silence, Biden added, “and we shall respond.”

Biden said in a written statement that the United States “will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner (of) our choosing.” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said “we will take all necessary actions to defend the United States, our troops, and our interests.”


"We shall respond." That's it? Over 48 hours has passed since three Americans were killed and 34 were injured. And it's not just Biden. Where is the unanimous joint declaration of the House and Congress demanding Biden take action against a regime that has attacked our military almost 200 times since October 7? Why isn't anything being done to stop the Houthis, who are supported by Iran, from essentially closing down the most important international trade route on Earth?

This is so fucking infuriating.

Biden's gross dereliction of duty in the Middle East is responsible for the deaths last weekend of three American soldiers at Post 22, a small forward base in Syria just a few miles from the Iraqi border. Thirty four other soldiers were wounded in the attack,.

Yesterday Biden called the families of the dead soldiers, including the parents of Georgia National Guard Spc Kennedy Sanders.

During the conversation, Biden said."“Shawn, I wish I didn’t have to make this call,” Biden said. “I know there’s nothing anybody can say or do to ease the pain. I’ve been there.”

“Yes, sir, we understand,” Oliver-Sanders responded.

“I just want you to know that I … you’re in my prayers and my heart,” Biden said.

Shortly after, the president says their daughter is being posthumously promoted to sergeant.

“Oh wow, that is the best news I’ve heard today, thank you so much,” Oliver-Sanders said as her husband began to break down. “You don’t know how much that means to us.”

“Oh, well, I tell you what, it means a lot to me,” Biden then said, as Oliver-Sanders began to cry. "My son spent a year in Iraq; that’s how I lost him.”


Yes, he lied again about Beau Biden's death while speaking to parents whose children died in the service of the United States. What a piece of shit. Beau Biden did die from a brain tumor, but it had nothing to do with his military service.

Beau Biden was an attorney, and also an Army Reserve officer. In October 2008, his unit was deployed to Iraq. He was there less than a year, serving as an attorney in the JAG office. He returned to the US, resuming his 2006 elected position of Delaware Attorney General. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant brain tumor, in 2013, and died in 2015. Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common form of brain cancer, present in over 50% of those cases.

Joe Biden has repeatedly told this lie in speeches, and also when speaking to parents of service members killed in the Middle East. He did so again in 2021, in a letter to the mother of one of thirteen American soldiers killed by a terrorist during the shameful chaotic abandonment of the Afghan people to the Taliban.

Cheryl Rex, whose son Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola died in the Aug. 26, 2021, bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, said she became enraged at Biden’s mawkish sentiment, knowing full well that Beau Biden died of brain cancer on US soil.

“His words to me were, ‘My wife, Jill, and I know how you feel. We lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag-draped coffin,'” Rex recounted during a forum convened in Escondido, Calif. by local Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.). “My heart started beating faster and I started shaking, knowing that their son died from cancer and they were able to be by his side.”

Biden has a history of claiming his son “died in Iraq.”

In fact, Beau passed away in May 2015 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., at the age of 46 – six years after he came home from a yearlong deployment to Iraq in September 2009.

The president has said he believes Beau developed the brain cancer that killed him from exposure to toxic burn pits during his deployment.

Through tears, Rex said she wondered “how someone could honestly be so heartless to say he knew how I felt a little over 24 hours” after her son died.

“After this encounter,” she added, “I have never had any personal correspondence, nor has my son been honored or his name spoken by this commander-in-chief or his administration on what I feel is because of their failures and poor planning to exit our troops from Afghanistan.”


There is no evidence Beau Biden was posted near a burn pit while in Iraq. The work of trash collection and disposal in the Middle East involved troops with the lowest military rank, not majors like Biden or other field grade officers with law degrees.

Imagine being the fathers of Taylor Hoover and Mark Schmitz, staring at the open rear fuselage of the C-17 that contains thirteen aluminum caskets holding your son's body, along with those of other Marines, Army soldiers, and Navy sailors that died on August 26, 2021 in the terrorist explosion at Hamid Karzei International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan.

It happened during the shameful capitulation of US forces in Afghanistan, the handover of over $80 billion in equipment and weapons, and hundreds of billions more in military infrastructure like the huge Bagram airbase complex, five more huge airbases, dozens of Army facilities, and hundreds of hospitals and schools.

The takeover of the country by Taliban extremists took just two weeks, as US military forces were ordered to offer little resistance to the unorganized and poorly armed terrorists. It was in essence similar to the destruction and surrender of 130,000 British troops to 30,000 Japanese forces in Malaya during the opening weeks of WWII.

Family members of the US Marines, sailors, and soldiers killed in last week’s suicide terror attack at the Kabul airport are slamming President Biden for his behavior at the dignified transfer ceremony over the weekend — with one Gold Star father accusing the commander-in-chief of doing “the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen” by repeatedly looking at his watch during the ceremony.

Darin Hoover, the father of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Biden checked his watch every single time a flag-draped coffin was removed from the hold of the Air Force C-17 Globemaster plane during Sunday’s ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in the president’s home state of Delaware.

“They would release the salute and he looked down at his watch on every last one,” Hoover said. “All 13, he looked down at his watch.”

Mark Schmitz — whose 20-year-old son, Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, died in the attack — corroborated Hoover’s story.

“I actually leaned into my son’s mother’s ear and I said, ‘I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time …’,” Schmitz recalled, “and that was only probably four times in. I couldn’t look at him anymore after that, just considering, especially, the time and why we were there. I found it to be the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen.”

Schmitz also told the Washington Post of an outburst that occurred toward the end of the ceremony when one woman allegedly shouted at Biden, “I hope you burn in hell! That was my brother!”

Schmitz added that his family’s own meeting with Biden prior to the ceremony “didn’t go well.”

“He talked a bit more about his own son [Beau Biden] than he did my son,” Schmitz said, “and that didn’t sit well with me."

During the meeting, Schmitz reportedly took out a photo of his son to show to the president.

“I said, ‘Don’t you ever forget that name. Don’t you ever forget that face. Don’t you ever forget the names of the other 12,’” he said. “‘And take some time to learn their stories.’”

Biden reportedly offered a blunt response: “I do know their stories.”

Hoover said he and his family declined to meet with Biden.

“We said, ‘Absolutely not.’ We didn’t want to deal with him,” he said. “We didn’t want — we didn’t want him anywhere near us. We as a family decided that was the way it was going to be.”

The Aug. 26 attack outside the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport killed 13 US service members — 11 Marines, a Navy corpsman and an Army soldier — and 169 Afghans. It was one of the final catastrophes visited upon the effort to evacuate Americans and their allies from Afghanistan — which concluded Monday with hundreds of Americans being left behind, along with thousands of Afghans who aided US-led forces during their two-decade military operation in that country.

In the days since the attack, many family members of the fallen have criticized Biden. Steve Nikoui told the Daily Beast that the president had “turned his back” on Nikoui’s son Kareem, another Marine who died at the airport.

The family of 20-year-old Marine Rylee McCollum has expressed the most anger toward the president, with his mother, Kathy, calling Biden “a dementia-ridden piece of crap who doesn’t even know he’s in the White House” in a radio interview.

Meanwhile, McCollum’s sister Roice claimed her brother’s pregnant widow, Jiennah, felt the president showed “total disregard to the loss of our Marine — our brother, son, husband, and father” when Biden spoke to her at Dover.

“You can’t f— up as bad as he did and say you’re sorry,” Roice told the Washington Post. “This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands, the thousands of Afghans who will suffer and be tortured is a direct result of his incompetence.” Roice McCollum added that Biden checked his watch while speaking with her brother’s widow and described the president’s comments as scripted and shallow.


This MF'er has completely failed the American people. The Hoover, Schmitz, and McCollum families are just some of the victims of a demented and evil person who has the blood of their children on his hands. The number of families in the Middle East that are in indescribable pain because of his fecklessness are uncountable. This very moment, millions of those same people lay awake in their beds, unable to sleep.

Pretty sure there are others who have blood on their hands.

Go away. Your idiotic ranting belong in your little kingdom of stupidity known as P&G. You can't make any rational expressions, posting childish memes copied from websites run by dumbasses is all you're capable of.

You left out the masterbaiting part, but back to the moment at hand!!!!

Yore beloved Repubican party has as much to do with emboldening this administration as the Democrats do. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll no longer be deceived. 👍

I don’t think this belongs in this thread. It’s disrespectful to those who lost their lives, as well as their families. Ya gotta read the room.

rrrr is pointing out Joe Biden’s involvement with the loss of life and I’m pointing out the Republicans, specifically the RINO’s involvement.

Feel the same about his post?

I would agree with you if it was a member’s kid.

I'm no fan of Biden, but let's back the truck up just a bit.

Everyone is up in arms because 3 of our guys got killed...not on our soil, but somewhere we might should not have been in the first place. I see all these calls for retaliation....

How many ops have we run, again...maybe where we shouldn't have been in the first place, where we took out key players as well as plenty of pawns? I understand that we inject ourselves in certain regions and conflicts in an attempt to make them turn out in our favor, but we can't go off half cocked every time a few of our guys get killed when we do the same shit everywhere else and expect no consequences.

I'm not happy that our guys are gone, that sucks. But if you look at the big picture, 3 guys only matter to their families and friends. We have 2 options here....either GTFO of places we shouldn't be so shit like this doesn't happen, or be the supreme asshole, bang our big fucking stick, and turn the middle east into glass....and when we're done with that, having established ourselves as those who won't be fucked with, aim our shit at China and Russia.

There's no in between at this point unless we like bleeding money and bodies.
