and now the weak response and then apology.

[jfm]

We We want to hear how you've already responded.

[chrisattwood]

The war in Ukraine has shown everyone how weak our hand is. We’ve lost our image of invincibility and superiority

[donnypettes]

“We’re going to take necessary action to protect US Forces, no matter where they’re serving in the world” sounds like invading and then playing victim.

[dougstenger]

Apparently not. We're in their country and expect them to NOT attack us.

[daves]

These folks better watch out! Biden will take all their ice cream away.

[tommarbach]

Wait, what? I thought ISIS was the JV?

[polemix]

This is so ridiculous. You want to protect your country by forcing your will on others and you don't realize that these attacks are the result of that. That means if you continue like this nothing will change

[RiskyMethods.]

Let's see how bad Bidens government can mess this one up.

[craiggreensmith]

More lies because it wasn't even in Jordan.

[Seven.Heavenly.Sins.]

The US military base #22 is located inside Syria. Why?

[modernrustics]

Our enemies know we have a coward in charge

[jadewilder]

Biden weak leadership lead to this mess

[jdybyjn]

Do what you need to do to protect our soldiers BEFORE they get attacked!

[e.t.calledme]

[harvillmurray]

AND THEY WILL RESPOND BACK TOO AS THEY ALWAYS DO

[jaroslavstarek]

ALE TAM NEMÁTE CO POHLEDÁVAT !!! JSTE TAM NEZÁKONĚ !!! JSTE OKUPANTI

[kckey]

I am surprised the facility is lacking C-RAM defense given what we know about the capabilities of how low tech drone weapons have changed the battlefield. I wonder if the response is a C-RAM or will they hit the Iranians... but he said, no wider conflict. Well, sometimes you need to cut off the water line behind the spigot.

Are Republicans still blocking promotions and pay raises? Tuberville? Republicans?

My God…can we please put Trump back into the White House where he belongs! 🇺🇸
