US Carries Out Airstrikes in Syria in Response to Iran Militia Attacks

The U.S. carried out airstrikes against two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and militias they support, the Pentagon announced Oct. 26.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said the “narrowly tailored” strikes were intended to respond to a series of attacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias. The strikes were carried out by two U.S. Air Force F-16s, a senior military official told reporters.

“Iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in these attacks against our forces,” Austin said in a statement. “We will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people.”

Iranian-backed militias have carried out 19 attacks on U.S. military personnel in Iraq and Syria in the last 10 days, the Pentagon said Oct. 26.

Earlier in the day, the Pentagon said at least 12 of those attacks have taken place in Iraq while four have occurred in Syria. And the attacks, which U.S. officials say are encouraged by Iran, show no sign of ending, prompting White House warnings about a military response.

So America is funding Israel to wage war against Hamas  while also funding humanitarian assistance to Gaza. We're also striking Iranian backed militias attacking our bases in Iraq and Syria, which are supported by the Iraqi Army, which we are also funding and are being trained by the American soldiers that were just attacked.

Is the USA a generous nation or what?

Your tax dollars at work keeping war alive throughout the world.  We may well end up going down in history as something other than favorable.

The time has come to change how Washington works.  Time to end it all.  TIME FOR TERM LIMITS!  12 years and out, and NO GOLD PARACHUTE.  NO PENSION FOR LIFE AFTER JUST FIVE YEARS!  Insanity that, with all the pay increases they vote for themselves also going to those that left with five + years.

Time for mandatory balanced budgets, time for full restoration of all monies stolen by Congress from the Social Security Trust Fund with INTEREST.  Thieves one and all, and it is time the bullsh*t ends.

What's the strategy for making that all actually happen?
