I wonder what kind of retaliation may occur? President Reagan had the Marine Barracks bombing in Lebanon thought to be retaliation for U.S. presence there perhaps done by Hezbollah.

Whatever it will be I'm sure it won't be good.

The President of the United States ordered an attack on a member of a foreign military, an act of war, without authorization from Congress.
For those who believe that it is not an act of war, would it be an act of war against the United States if Iran’s leader ordered his military to attack and kill the Commandant of the Marine Corps while he was visiting Iraq?

SFC Herve Abrams - I May be Paraphrasing but "The Intelligence Community is Spying on Me, Don't Trust Them" "The Intelligence Community Told Me" Yeah Lot of Logic There but Expecting Logic from Trump is Definitely Irrational. Maybe it is Just My Background as a Retired Navy Spook.

MSG Tom Earley - If it was an attack there would have been a lot more rocket and gun fire. I didn't see any reports of that. So as far as I'm concerned it was a protest turned riot and this isn't the first time a US embassy saw a protest turned into a riot, attack, or an assault on the compound that led to zero deaths. I know the below link is Wikipedia but again so many incidents against US embassies yet how many of those incidents led to armed conflict, follow on military actions, or all out war? And don't tell me to trust our US intelligence. I've been watching three years of the Trump Admin and GOP trashing our intelligence agencies and now they want us to take the word of the Admin officials without giving us more information. Even Pompeo in an interview said 'Soleimani was responsible for some planned attack on Washington D.C. that was foiled'; yet couldn't give us an example of what was being imminently planned that was foiled when he was killed? Yeah, I want to hear from the Intel community not Trump Admin officials.

MSG Tom Earley what was the national emergency? Are you implying there was not enough time to get authorization from Congress, despite the fact the general’s visit to Iran was known well in advance of the attack?
Really?

He got his comeuppance delivered right as he stepped off his plane in Baghdad. The Iranians need to be very smart right now. Trump has been patient and measured with them but I think those days are coming to an end.
