The attack was ‘orchestrated by terrorists’ and ‘abetted by Iranian proxies.” The Democrats stand with these savages. President Trump won’t leave our people to die like Obama did in Benghazi.

By  Daily Mail and WIRES, 1 January 2020

The U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division’s alert brigade has been issued orders to deploy rapidly to Kuwait following an attack on the American embassy in Baghdad by a pro-Iranian mob.

At least 750 paratroopers are already making their way to the Middle East, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed in a statement on Tuesday, saying additional forces are prepared to deploy over the next several days.

‘This deployment is an appropriate and precautionary action taken in response to increased threat levels against U.S. personnel and facilities, such as we witnessed in Baghdad today,’ said Esper.

A total of 4,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne’s Deployment Ready Brigade have been put on notice for imminent deployment in the next 96 hours, three U.S. defense officials told Fox News.

The snap deployment comes amid rapidly rising tensions between Iran and the U.S. and a series of violent tit-for-tat escalations between the two countries.

On Tuesday, some 6,000 pro-Iran Shiite militia fighters stormed U.S. embassy in Baghdad, set walls ablaze and chanted ‘Death to America!’ in a violent retaliation for American air strikes. There were no reports of American casualties, and the attack was repelled after 100 Marines rapidly reinforced the compound.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the attack an act of ‘state-sponsored terrorism’ in an interview with CBS News, and President Donald Trump vowed that the Iranian government will be held ‘fully responsible’ for the attack.

Pompeo said in a statement that the attack was ‘orchestrated by terrorists’ and ‘abetted by Iranian proxies’, tweeting pictures that he said showed US-designated terrorists with Iranian ties outside the embassy.

Several thousand protesters and militia fighters broke down the gate of the US embassy in Baghdad, storming the compound as gunshots and sirens rang out, following Sunday’s US air strikes on Hezbollah that killed 2


Thousands of Kataeb Hezbollah supporters left funerals held for 25 fighters killed by US strikes on Sunday night. They then marched towards the US embassy, pouring through the heavily fortified ‘Green Zone’ before reaching the gates of the compound. As the mood deteriorated security personnel headed into the building and carnage ensued outside, with rioters eventually tearing through the main gate and inside the main forecourt of the embassy

Very True. War is also a huge distraction while they’re grooming our children for bacha bazi & s e x sl aves.

And indoctrinating our children in Islam in schools.

These children will vote for the 5k Muslims being groomed for political office. “Orchestrated” is a good word to use.

Our Education “system” really needs a major overhaul. Like totally removing all common core instruction, testing for learning the rout lies and how about we the parents decide what our children will be taught??? How about learning how to write in cursive again? How about a true Civics class where the Bill of Rights, our Constitution, and Declaration of Independence are the “books” with which the teachers have to use…how about a proctor in every class to prevent teacher/liberal/unionized OPINIONS are taught as truth???? I am 66 but so willing to go to a classroom to prevent the socialist forms from being the indoctrination of our children. Time to tell the truth about Islam in our schools. Bring back the pledge of allegiance and prayers! yep I said it out loud. Let all students learn it is a great country they live in and if they don’t protect our founding Fathers articles and our freedoms then they might as well stop learning and just bow down to the “regime”.

Persia indeed. A great people again. They are NOT Arabs and Islam is fundamentally an Arab Supremacist religion just as the Nazis were German Supremaicst ( that is why children in the jungles of Indonesia must bear desert Arab names).

I just hope Trump isn’t being snookered into a larger middle east war.
The establishment LOVES endless pointless wars over there.
We have spend at least EIGHT TRILLION dollars on these worthless people in the name of peace, democracy and nation building. . Muslims don’t want that.

Just target Iran’s most expensive things with rockets and drones to make it expensive for them to cause trouble. We don’t need to spent another $8 Trillion on diaper headed morons.

John Bolton Urges U.S. To Resume Military Operations Amid Threats From North Korea
OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 2:00 PM PT — Wednesday, January 1, 2020
https://www.oann.com/john-bolton-urges-u-s-to-resume-military-operations-amid-threats-from-north-korea/

There he goes again! Neocon John Bolton beating the war drum.
Bolton LOVES wars. He was all FOR the Viet Nam war, going to war with Cuba
North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and even Venezuela. Bolton is part of the FAILED
ESTABLISHMENT. War is a money machine for the establishment. ANY war that
is not in our nationalist interest, billy goat, Bolton is ALL FOR! We have spent at least
EIGHT TRILLION dollars in the middle east and WHAT HAS CHANGED?
With Trump running our country we now have our own OIL and now a major EXPORTER of OIL.
Now why couldn’t the Bush’s, Clinton or Obama think of that? Because they are CORRUPT and
wanted us dependent on our enemies. Trump made this happen in LESS than three years!
Oil funded Muslim terrorism. In other words we PAID for their terrorism through oil.

Funny, wasn’t John Bolton saying exactly the same things about Iran as Trump, but got branded a neocon, warmonger and fired?

Ironic that Trump finally decided to act against Iran’s aggressive behavior but is applauded by the same people who denounced Bolton.

Don’t forget the most vicious attacks against Bolton came from Liberals who wanted to blunt Trump’s administration and prevent him from doing more to defend freedom and defeat our enemies.

I’m not taking issue with anyone in particular but if anyone believes we can avoid warfare with Muslims is only deluding themselves. Additionally it doesn’t need to cost trillions to end Islamic fascism.

All it takes is for the US to throw money and weapons behind pro-Secular Democratic forces in all nations dominated by Islam, remove all Muslims from power and the countries will take care of the rest.

Our goal should be to remove Islam or Muslims whatever the cost. We are after all in a real war against them, they are this century’s Nazis.

This is BS. Give me a break, 4000 really? The Marines did the job, stop the stupid saber rattling already.

We don;t need this, nor does it do any good.

And no, I’m not a Leftist, just tired. Do something about the traitors at home already, anyone notice how it seems that Barr seems to ride the same rails as his predecessors?
