    MSNBC said that Iran had claimed and that it could not be substantiated.

    You want to try again?

    Just this here makes me think they are playing a game for their internal politic and audience. And if that's all they want, that's probably the best-case scenario here.

    If Iran didn't kill any Americans, or even cause severe damage, it was intentional. They could have inflicted damage if they wanted to. Trump's strength has scared them schitless - they know that if Trump takes out their refineries, their nuclear sites and their missile launch sites, Iran is done.

    Major win for Trump. Iran blinked.

    Let's hope so. A fake tough attack here to save face & stop the escalation followed by a more low-key dirty war/terror campaign is probably the best we can hope for. Yes, we need to hope Iran's leadership is more rational than ours

    Why? because our President is a flaming idiot who couldn't find Iran on a map if you spotted him the I, R, and the A.

    It's a bigger shame that he has had the opportunity to speak out to try to stop Trump's misrule and refuses to.

    It’s early. I hope there are no American or allied casualties. We’ll have to wait and see.

    Per cnn:

    The initial assessment is that the Iranian missiles struck areas of the al-Asad base not populated by Americans, according to a US military official and a senior administration official.

    Officials have said the US is awaiting daylight to get a full assessment of the results of the strike.

    Earlier, an Iraqi security source told CNN that there were casualties among the Iraqis at the base.

    If they were deliberately trying to miss, they sure didn't miss by much.

    If there were no US murders, thank god. Which feels like a terrible thing to say knowing that there is Iraqi's that may have died.

    Trump can puff his chest, give a speech on how scared little Iran is, how they purposely missed because they know how mighty and big Trump's dick is yada yada yada. We slap some more sanctions on them and say that will pay for the damage they did, threaten to bomb the **** out of them if they step out of line again. We avoid war, Trump gets his ego stroked, neocons are happy that they got to openly assassinate and Iranian general.

    The people of both countries lose for having such ****heads for leaders, but at the same time, we win BIGLY considering how big this could have escalated. Cross your fingers that we can get this office out before they start a war, make this a reminder to learn and put significant value on the current candidate's foreign policy stances, there is significant differences between the candidates.

    ....and Joe Biden just mixed up Iraq and Iran in his comments....said "the Iranian parliament voted to kick the US troops out".

    Yeah, that guy has all his mental faculties....dude is senile in his old age.
