President Biden is facing criticism for telegraphing Friday's U.S. strikes in the Middle East, with reports that a number of Iranian intelligence and military officials who may have assisted the militias involved in the attack on U.S. troops had already fled.

The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend, officials told The Associated Press.

It will do nothing to deter Iran.
As a retired Col. said.... "All they are doing is turning sand into glass."

It’s not silent. It is just not on FOX…so you do not see it. Many Americans are questioning why blacks are good enough to die in the desert for Israel but are removed by force as the president of Harvard. I know you want to go back to the Jim Crow laws but the vast majority of Americans are not with you.

I watch CNN and MSNBC primarily and none of them report mass protests for these three black men killed, did i miss something? Also, weird comparison: since when Harvard president was denied to serve in US forces?

It wasn’t 3 black men killed. One was a woman, JFC.

Two were women.
Kennedy and Breonna.

Correct three Americans serving their country were killed and many more wounded in this attack!

The heavily telegraphed US response will be coming soon but probably won’t be very effective in deterring future attacks on our troops.

I read this the opposite way: Iran and its proxy have already issued conciliatory statements.

They’re signaling hard that they don’t want significant conflict with the US.

Situation unlikely to escalate.

Will American cargo ships pass safely unencumbered through the Red Sea anytime soon?

Will American soldiers in the Middle East stop being targeted for attack?

If you answered no to these questions wouldn’t you say things have already escalated to an unacceptable level?

We should just accept their apology?

American does not have cargo ships. This is 2024 not 1950.

2 US-flagged cargo ships attacked off Yemen

Two U.S.-flagged merchant ships were attacked in the Red Sea on Wednesday by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the Iranian-backed group’s latest act of aggression in the region.
Shipping giant Maersk said in a statement to The Hill that the Maersk Detroit and Maersk Chesapeake were attacked during a transit through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. The strait is a major targeting point for the Houthi rebels in a campaign to attack merchant shipping.

Not many US flagged merchant ships. It’s like 2% and most of those are ocean tugs. Some how two are off Yemen and get attacked? Does not seem like a coincidence.

Every ship will put up a U.S. flag when they want an F-14 escort in the Red Sea.

The only military that flies F-14s is Iran

The tomcat/Tomcrap.

I’m sure PP meant Super Hornet, a plane that can’t go 30 mins on-station without refueling.

From a military standpoint, right now, today -- there is no country that can go to war with us and survive. A case can be made for China. But that is all. There would be a cost in money which we have lots of and does not really matter and people which is a tough one. But what you cannot do is ignore the attack.

LMAO. A big part of executing a war is having the will to use the tools at your disposal. Another huge variable is strategy. The Americans fully lack will and have serious issues with planning and strategy. See the defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan as proof.

From a military standpoint, the US would not survive a war with China or Russia. Have we already forgotten MAD?

We should not go 5 minutes. And we do not cause the wars.

What about the second Iraq war?

That was caused because SH said he had WMDs. We did not cause that at all. If he had said no WMDs and the inspectors came in then no war.

That's crap. Inspectors came in and found nothing. You can read below how Robert Kelley, who was part of the IAEA's Iraq Action Team in 2003, and other weapons inspectors found no proof of the WMD claims but their findings were ignored in favor of dubious sources because Bush and his team wanted war.

"By early 2003 we knew at a very high level of confidence that there was no nuclear weapons effort of any kind in Iraq, and we were regularly passing this information back to the UN Security Council."

That was cause because Bush had daddy issues and the CIA either lied or was incompetent or both
