Trump, after days of threatening to strike cultural targets and commit war crimes, decides he's cool with following the law.

This is a good, if pathetic and embarrassing development.

I Seriously thought that was something Iran said about Americans before seeing it was posted by trump

The prime minister of Iraq said the so called "draft letter" appeared on his desk signed and translated to many different languages. Sorry no English sauce again, because Finnish news.

Between the SecDef and the Pentagon in general, he had no choice.

He did, but I've seen no images of the actually signed letter. I've seen the letter (in English), but it was not signed.

Lol yeah or imagine if someone had emptied AR’s at them from a hotel room, while they were at a concert, or is that too crazy?

Exactly (while still being a pathetic and embarrassing development) - our sworn officers cannot partake in illegal orders. That particular issue, regarding the cultural sites, is cut and dried.

Remind us again, who was the last dictator leader who targeted cultural sites? Wasn't that the terrorist regime in Afghanistan way back? They blew up those ginormous statues IIRC.

ISIS was destroying cultural sites that dated before Islam came to the region.

Something happened yesterday at Mar a Lago, but no word on what it is yet. Not necessarily related to this, but damn if the timing isn't coincidental.

i'll post another source since that has a paywall:

Palm Beach police say they are conducting an “open and active criminal investigation” at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s South Florida estate, following an unspecified incident Monday evening.

The Secret Service is leading the investigation and no arrest has yet been made, according to the Palm Beach Police Department.

Michael Ogrodnick, a police spokesman, declined further comment Tuesday, citing the investigation. But the department did provide a nearly completely redacted incident report showing officers were called around 7 p.m. to “assist” another law enforcement agency. The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

When Israel says you're being a warhawk, you know you've dun goofed.

Please...

We're pretty glad that dickhead got offed, long overdue if you ask me. The meaning of that quote is what it is - it's not our job, so we don't need to stick our necks into it unnecessarily.

It was certainly convenient to have this happen this way and you don't have tears shed here over this or any sort of condemnation whatsoever, aside from a certain single 5th column party.

The WaPo is such a garbage magazine these days

Also this draft letter is just more evidence that our government is run by a bunch of idiots.

Trump pressed to detail what prompted strike on Iran general

---------------------

Apparently all Trump can say is his usual vacuous nonsense.

[Puupi]

Trump said Tuesday that his decision saved American lives and that members of Congress will be briefed on the reasons for the U.S. attack.

“We saved a lot of lives,” Trump said. “They were planning something.”

10/10 intelligence. 10/10 logic.

I still want to know why they suddenly trust the "DEEP STATE" and their intelligence assessments after years of attacking and dismissing them.

Iranian Fars News Agency reports that an Iranian ballistic missile was fired at Al Asad Airbase.

There has been multiple rocket/mortar attacks on several sites in Iraq on US installations including Al-Asad base, Taji and other site though. Seems more like militias just firing whatever they have on thier hands.

From senior US military source in Iraq:
“Under missile attack from Iran. These are either cruise missiles or short range ballistic missiles. All over the country.”

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps confirms hitting US Ain Al Assad Airbase in #Iraq with tens of missiles.

well strap in zoomers, you might be going on a sunny holiday.

Might have been slightly to early to dismiss. The reports from an hour ago seem to be inaccurate, however there actually do seem to be incoming missiles right now. We will see how this develops. Reporting is still extremely early on this obviously.
