moonofalabama | I was shocked that not one Iranian missile was intercepted. It appears
CENTCOM did not even have a capability to intercept missiles at the Ayn
al-Assad Air Base. That is military incompetence. A slew of officers
should be relieved for that
egregious incompetence including the CINC CENTCOM. No wonder the neocon
wonder boys in the Pentagon and White House decided not to join the
dance in the wee hours after the Iranian strike. Talk about scared
straight.
No U.S. air or missile defense against the incoming projectiles was observed.
The message from Iran is thus: "We can attack all your bases and you can do nothing to prevent that."
The missile attack came despite Donald Trump's threats to Iran. It called his bluff.
Further reactions will depend on the U.S. reactions
to the demand of the Iraqi parliament that all foreign forces leave
Iraq. Should the U.S. leave Iraq peacefully all will be well. Should it
insist on staying U.S. soldiers will die.
