Three US Soldiers Killed, 25 Wounded in Jordan

It's almost like they don't want us there.

Remind me again. Why are we there???

 

[BE Mike]

This attack seems well planned, but I don't know much about drones, how much weight can they lift?

A claymore weighs about 4 pounds.

Command guided and detonated?

Prayers for the families of those lost. The wounded may have really severe injuries. Prayers for them also. From the snippets I've heard, the war in Ukraine has caused the technology of suicide drones to new levels and they can be hard to detect.

The only recent administrations who took this seriously were Bush and Obama. Clinton was a ***** who set the stage for 9/11 by blowing up some monkey bars in retaliaion for the USS Cole. Trump made excuses when Iran launched missiles into one of our facilities in Iraq. Biden is such an incredible **** up he's not even relevant to the conversation.

I have more faith in Jordan responding with lethal effect than I do the US, but I'd love to be surprised.

We’ve lost control of the region. The Red Sea is no longer safe to pass. Straits of Hormuz and the Bab are not safe, even for commercial traffic. Afghanistan under Taliban control. Pakistan is a joke.

Iran is launching proxy attacks at will. We need to turn another General into salsa. Meanwhile, our President is problably consulting a diverse team of transsexuals and TikTok clowns for counsel.

We may be headed for a new normal of Red Sea denial to countries seen as friends of Israel. You just can't hen peck an irregular rebel group to death with air strikes, and it doesn't sound like they rely on any kind of fixed launch sites or infrastructure to launch these weapons. They're willing to shoot, scoot, and die in twos and threes while we're not willing to take and hold Yemen on the ground. Who's gonna insure Red Sea transits now, with any amount of escort?

So, when will that idiot Biden and his handlers stand up and drop the military hammer on these terrorists?

I think ohmuslim is getting a few more pallets of cash to appease Iran.

 

[NHT3]

Three in the latest attack, 13 in the Afgan withdrawal and hundreds of thousands to fentanyl, not to mention the horrific injuries some suffered. Somebody has a lot to answer for when they stand in front of the good Lord.

 

[Shadow01]

Surely we have at least 1 -61 that has almost aged out that we could send indiscriminately to Iran?

Trump blames Biden's 'weakness and surrender' for deadly militia attack

Donald Trump blamed Joe Biden for the Iranian-backed militia's attack that killed three U.S. service members and wounded many others.

House of Hashim
You know them. Kings of Syria,Iraq,Hejaz,and Jordan. Mecca has been under their control, well forever for all practical purposes.
We have poured money into Salti air base for quite awhile.

Tens of millions of dollars will turn this base in Jordan into a new major regional hub for combat jets, drones, cargo planes, and more.

With who's money?

Last time I checked we were in dire straits economically, with inflation completely out of control. Are you suggesting we enter the next 20 year long war and go ahead and wipe out any chance any future generation has of making a decent life?

How about we tell Israel to make an attack on these groups for us?

Isn't it also funny they all are telling you that this is Iran's doing, yet they provide no evidence or proof to validate that statement? From a region that has been in perpetual terrorism for well over 25 years, especially locally.
It's pretty important to demonstrate proof of something before we go spend trillions of dollars and thousands of our own citizen's lives for it.
