Uh oh.

Thread: Iraq: Al-Mayadeen Correspondent: An explosion is heard in Baghdad

and she saw that on CNN?

should confirm someone on the ground

you mean paid mercenaries, who know exactly what they're getting into and the risks?

good.

Waiting on confirmation...


That there was an explosion seems to be true.

See where this goes I think America will hit back

Quite possible troops were injured.

Certainly some were in harm's way.

Trump will if Americans were killed.

You can bank on it.

If troops were injured -- doubtless.

isn't contractor another for for a mercenary?

Geneva conventions don't apply for them

Note that, there were several explosions in Baghdad, none were inside the Green Zone.

Casulaties appear verified.

Identity though and location not yet verified.

Iran's proxies pretty much declared war on us after Soleimani's killing. So this was to be expected and is probably just the beginning...

What causes Trump to finally strike back at Iran may be one of these incidents. Dead Americans was his red line.

Don't worry, Trumps busy golfing.

Addicted to "stupid politician wars" - and the bad thing is the "stupid politicians" and their children not only don't pay for their stupidity with their bodies and lives, but actually get rich off sweetheart deals for it.

Sounds like it was a mobile Allah snack bar.

As long as it remains proxies doing the attacks it's deniable enough to avoid strikes on Iran itself.

Cards say lots more injuries will happen.

Impeccable timing.
