If they were really preparing for retaliation and scrambling jets... shouldn't they have grounded commercial flights for at LEAST a few hours? That plane did take off hours after Iran was finished firing missiles though. E: Also I can't seem to find anything that says where the missiles they fired into Iraq came from, but Tehran is a long way from both the targeted sites. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:932681633] in BREAKING: ...

The real question is why the hell were they letting commercial airlines take off in the first place?

Both Obama and Biden thought this guy supported terrorists. He was also directly sanctioned by unanimous vote in 2007 by the UN security council and again by the EU in 2012 specifically for terrorist acts. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

If we're playing the blame game, it'll always come back to the US because we're the ones that orchestrated a coup on Iran's democratically elected leader decades ago. We probably shouldn't play the blame game because the conflict is a back and forth with Iran that leads back to us fucking with them first But you got an American-supporting dictator for a short time. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

Assassinating the Iranian official was still too drastic a response, especially under the circumstances detailed by the Iraqi PM No fuck that, if you play with fire, you get burned. Don't kill, don't even threaten Americans. People forget about Benghazi so quick. Or how about the hostage situation in the 70's? Anticyclonic posted... The appropriate response to some property damage was killing someone? Cool. Yeah, 'property damage', let's not forget that Soleimani was directly responsible for the killing and maiming of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. And they totally would've left the embassy alone after that. Totally. --- The best advice my dad ever gave me was, "Life's full of idiots, don't be one." <cite>rahasperj posted [p:932681742] in BREAKING: ...

But at that point they had readied a second salvo, publicly threatened to level Dubai and Haifa, and deployed their air force. Waiting at least until it was completely clear there wasn't going to be further escalation would have made sense. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
