    The fact that we can no longer trust MSM to tell the truth is evident today….

    NEWSWEEK: Thought to be reputable claimed…
    Pentagon officials told Newsweek Friday evening the operation was targeting Imam Ali Brigades with a “high probability” the strike resulted in the death of its leader, Shubul al-Zaidi.

    But….
    There are now articles from many outlets denying the news of Taji Drone strikes… at the very least Denying that US or Coalition forces did a strike? The denial supported by Tweet that looks legit…

    The statement from the US-led coalition, which is in Iraq and Syria to fight Islamic State, was tweeted out by a spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve, Colonel Myles B Caggins.

    Both Iraq’s umbrella grouping of Shia militias, the Popular Mobilisation Forces, and
    Iraqi state television said the airstrikes had taken place and that they were carried out by the US.

      MSM sole role is propaganda for the Leftist machine. Truth never enters the equation.

    Missiles fired after Iranian general Qassim Soleimani’s body paraded through Baghdad

    A volley of missiles appeared to target the US’s embassy and one of its bases in Iraq on Saturday night, sparking fears an Iran-backed militia had begun taking revenge for the killing of its commander and Iran’s top general.

    A Katusya rocket struck inside the Green Zone close to the American mission in Baghdad, followed minutes later by a two rockets 40 miles away on al-Balad airbase, which houses US Air Force trainers.

    Three Iraqi military personnel were reported to have been injured in the second assault.

    Katib Hizbollah militia, which operates under the PMF, issued a call last night for Iraqi security forces to “move away from American bases by a distance of no less than 1km,” starting from Sunday evening, suggesting the attacks would continue.

    I came into an older Smithsonian Air & Space magazine and it was about the attacks on Pearl Harbor. I thought I would like it, but I was reading one article and they quoted this Japanese man we said “we were victims too” in context of ‘victims of the war.’

    I cannot believe that no one edited that quote before the magazine was published. The actual victimizers, whose cruelty was rivalled only by Nazis, whining about how they’re victims too. Unbelievable.

    At some stage somebody is going to have to destroy Iranian Nuclear facilities (bomb making) and destroy all the Uranium/Plutonium they have been making (enriching) for years. Just as well do that now.

    Interesting and enlightening analysis by Spengler of USA/Iraq/Iran, and Trump’s action.

    Trump takes a calculated risk on Iran
