"President Joe Biden ordered airstrikes this weekend on Iran-backed militias near the Iraq-Syria border in response to unmanned aerial vehicle attacks, according to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby.
"At President Biden's direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region -- the targets were selected because these facilities are utilized by Iran-backed militias that are engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq."
Kirby said the U.S. acted within its legal rights and said the airstrikes were a matter of self-defense. The sites hit by the U.S. were determined to have had command, control and logistics capabilities, the official said. The official said it's too early to know if there were any militia or civilian casualties."
This moron is so senile he doesn't even know if his airstrikes killed anyone?? This is what happens when you let a neo-con get control of what use to be the most powerful military in the world. How is what he did legal? He didn't get approval from Congress first...he is basically committing war crimes and should be thrown in prison.
