Why do we have troops and bases in countries that do not want us there? Seems being there doesn't "keep the peace".

[Herb..StateOfGeorgiaOwnsFSU]

It’s painful to listen to this lady speak. Can they find anyone better?

I'm just up here to look pretty. I don't know anything. And am not allowed to say anything.

If I remember correctly, Iraq told US to LEAVE. Your claim of Defense is OFFENSIVE!!!

[jonathanstuart]

Lies, lies, lies. These shameful individuals are beyond comprehension. The United States doesn't seem to understand that her time as a hegemonic country has come to a disastrous end.😢

The press needs to wait for news not try and make it.

[spacecowboy]

They do not have my permission as an American citizen to conduct this war on behalf of Israel.

[sharpe]

Hard to trust spokesperson with 4 pounds of eye crud on.

[California]

How could proclaim self defense being inside a nation that don't belong to you and that you are hated and not welcomed ??

[Tential]

There just happened to be an ac130 in the air? Rofl. Like aC 130 gunships aren't randomly in the air....
