(1) Here we go again...
Reports: 3 missiles hit Baghdad airport... need confirmation.
As expected, US mil already responding on behalf of the innocent peace loving civilians of Iraq, who are again being sold down the river by their corrupt leaders.
Don't mess with the USA.

(2) US Defense Secretary Esper tweeted just 30 mins ago:
(3) Some excellent background reading resources linked in the thread below:
(4) There are differing reports of casualties (media) or no casualties (Iraqi government).
American-Iraqi journalist (and terror attack survivor) Steven Nabil is always a credible source IMO:

(5) Further update: A media source aligned with the Iraqi military is now confirming (apparent civilian) casualties.
My question is: Which group fired the weapons and who was the target?
#WellSeeWhatHappens, as Trump would say.

(6) I swear, I had not seen Nabil's tweets about this when I wrote the above tweet. Actually it was @MemphisMeteor who had raised the possibility to me several mins earlier. Hat-tip to you.
If Iraqi/US mil did this, then... well done Pres Trump.

@MemphisMeteor (7) Fascinating. Secretary Esper's repeat of the President's threat of retaliation at a time of the USA's choosing was made either minutes before or at around the same time as the hit against the PMF official.
As @rangersyl called it the other day: "death from above."

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl (8) Donald John Trump, I think I love you.
Actually, I know I love you. And I love everyone who works with you or votes for you.

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl (8) Al Jazeera headline: "Two Vehicles Destroyed in Baghdad Blasts."
What actually happened: All vehicle occupants vaporized by US drone strike after committing, inciting & funding terrorist acts against the US & Iraq.
Bless Al Jazeera's IRGC-inspired little heart.

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl (9) Finally, Al Jazeera has started accurately reporting this near-fatal blow to the Iranian regime.
Watching their faces is like watching CNN in the early hours of 11/9/16.
I am making the most of this moment. The never ending schadenfreude train rolls on!

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl (10) TY @LarrySchweikart for the signal boost.
I didn't add here my thoughts on the execution of Soleimani. I was too excited.
It is of course a great day for the world.
Trump didn't start "WWIII" (a now trending term), he *averted* it.
I look forward to his speech.

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (11) Hopefully there will be some #DisturbingGlee.
Any day that justice is obtained for thousands of Americans (and other innocent victims of the IRGC) is a day to be savored.
We are at war with Iran, and have been since 1979.

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (12) 8 or so hours after the air strikesthe Iraqi PM complains about it. He's going through the motions. At best, his govt forces let it happen on purpose. Soleimani had assumed he would be safe.
@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (13) Updates for you today.
Two breaking reports that other senior IRGC terrorists have been liquidated:
One in Baghdad? see
One in Yemen? Abdul Reza #Shahlai, see
And some b/g reading from me:

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (14) Thinking of making a playlist thread today. This song springs to mind...
@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (15) I mean, I didn't go to any Christmas or New Year parties this time because of my health so the ongoing 2020 taking-out-the-terrorist-trash operations are making up for it.
I'm having a ball.💃

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (16) see this feed for Baghdad updates incl that Iraqi govt vehicles used in funeral procession, previous and current PMs there. disgraceful.
80 countries in coalition have done so much for these ingrates

@MemphisMeteor @RangerSyl @LarrySchweikart (17) the reported strike on a PMF convoy near taji apparently did not occur.
