The ayatollahs are getting impatient that their $6 billion check hasn’t arrived in the mail. And they do like celebrating the 40th anniversary of their great triumph… the Marine Barracks bombing.
So they spent a little time trying to kill American soldiers. Again.
At least two-dozen American military personnel based in Iraq and Syria were injured in drone attacks last week that officials said were launched by Iran-backed proxy groups.
The largest attack carried out against a US base was on Oct. 18 when 20 troops suffered “minor injuries,” after numerous one-way drones targeted al-Tanf Garrison in southeastern Syria, US military officials said, according to the Washington Post.
On the same day, multiple drones also targeted the US and its allies in two different attacks on Ain al-Asad Air Base in western Iraq that left four people with minor injuries, the Washington Post reported. Those injured also returned to duty.
A US citizen working as a contractor died the same day after he went into cardiac arrest during a shelter-in-place order at the base.
The Pentagon has said the groups behind the attacks are supported by Iran and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It’s natural to assume that this is a response to the current situation in the region, but the depressing thing is that it’s not even new.
The two elements that jump out at most people (1. Iran launching attacks on U.S. bases and (2. the White House not even mentioning it… have been around for quite a while.
Here’s my article on it from Jan 2022.
Two more terror drones targeted American forces deployed to fight ISIS at the Al Asad air base. The base has been repeatedly hammered by Iran-backed rocket attacks over the past year, most notably when 14 rockets struck the base over the summer causing several injuries.
There were repeated Iran-backed rocket strikes against Americans in Iraq throughout the last year totaling an estimated 25 separate attacks under the Biden administration.
On September 11, two drones launched an attack on U.S. forces at Erbil International Airport.
Then, as now, the Biden administration limited American military personnel to defensive preventative air strikes against the Shiite terror groups carrying out the attacks.
This was going on long before the current Hamas attack and the Israeli response. Or before we directed more forces to the region.
American soldiers have been killed and worse still, we’re funding their killers. And I don’t just mean with that $6 billion.
While some U.S. conflicts with Jihadists in the region are old news, Kataeb Hezbollah fired rockets at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad in 2019, and has bombed U.S. bases in recent years. Kataeb Hezbollah killed two American soldiers in 2020: Army Spc. Juan Miguel Mendez Covarrubias and Air Force Staff Sgt. Marshal D. Roberts.
Politicians and the media have mostly ignored the fact that Americans are continuing to be killed in Iraq, that the Iraqi government is funding their killers, and that we’re funding Iraq.
While Iraq funds Iran’s terror militias, the United States funds the UN Development Programme to “stabilize” Iraq and has invested over $100 million into “conflict, peace and security” funding.
The United States has spent over $1 billion financing the nation’s military while Iraq spends billions financing the Iranian PMU terror militias which are expected to approach a quarter of million Jihadis.
Did you hear any mention of Air Force Staff Sgt. Marshal D. Roberts?
On March 14, 2020, Roberts lost his life when enemy fire engaged with his unit at Camp Taji. With rockets flying, Roberts and his friend took cover. They discussed running to a bunker but not without considering if they could make it to safety. Roberts told his fellow Airmen to go and get her body armor. As his friend left, a rocket landed, taking his life. In losing his own, Roberts saved another.
Her body armor.
Do we talk about any of this? No. And then suddenly we notice it and wonder what’s going on. Iran keeps attacking us and trying to kill us. And Biden keeps trying to cut a deal while warning against offending Iran.

Bi Dung is run by obomber and his cohort of IRI agents in the government which means unfortunately, that the US govt is rogue and an enemy of the people, both in US, UK and Israel. Though the uk is in it up to its poisonous neck as usual. Who is holding Israel back? I feel Bibi is a failed leader because of his indecision and this messing around with foreign leaders. What we need is a decisive person who sticks to his guns. The time for this long awaited attack is well over. Nuke the IRI, we will also free the Iranians who are suffering the same treatment as our kidnapped and killed.

I’d paper the walls of the White House with that $6 Billion before I’d release it to the mullahs, because we know exactly where that money will go. Last I’d heard, we’d put a stop payment on the check, but even if true, we know Biden and his allegiance to evil will figure out a way of getting it into their hands.
Jeff Bargholz says
Old Joe Talibiden will probably put the money on his tongue and apply it directly to the mullah’s little dicks.

This isn’t TREASON? #1 presidential job-keep America and Americans safe!!!
Angel Jacob says
I’m not a general. But any semi-smart military leader would know by now who these terrorist groups are and where they are gathered.
Isn’t it time to bring out the big guns and teach the terrorists another lesson in pain.
The key to defeating the islamists is to constantly wipe them off in large numbers. They must be kept on the run with no place to hide.
If we don’t use our military superiority we will eventually lose. There’s no pint in having the upper hand and not doing anything.
CowboyUp says
We probably know whch Iranian base or bases are launching the drones. If we leveled and cratered those bases they might decide it’s not a fair trade. That’s not going to happen though. They’re going to keep firing on us and Israel until we eliminate their ability to do so.
Jeff Bargholz says
Your projection is annoying. Go suck a bag of dicks, which is probably your favorite pastime anyway.
Sword of The Spirit says
And meanwhile “the military” that swore to protect our country does NOT ONE DAMNED THING to protect us while the south border is invaded by moo slims.
Thomas Kendrick says
They are not allowed to do so, due to the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. The act limits the use of the military to enforce civil actions in the country. Now if the Congress would declare a WAR against those invading….
Tex the Mockingbird says
Our best way to stop the Terrorists is to defund the United Nations just think of all those UN Nations that support the Terrorists and the UN is for Open Borders besides
Kasandra says
Prior to Oct. 7, there had been something like 83 attacks on U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq during the Biden administration. He responded forcefully to only 4 of them. That’ll learn them to attack our people. What a pathetic weakling Biden is and everyone sees it. “Wartime President” my ass.
CharlieSeattle says
Did the DOD Top BrASS apologize for having US troops in the way?
Jeff Bargholz says
Why are Americans in shit hole Iraq? Not only are they targets there but there’s no real purpose for them to be there.
FUCK Iraq. It’s a toilet. Why should Americans be in a toilet? That’s for islamopithecines, not humans. Why would an American want to swirl around with turds?
Fred A. says
Our marines should never have been in Lebanon in the first place. Second, our troops should never be in Syria either. The same applies to Iraq as well. Do your research and find out why we are really in Syria.
