US carrier-launched airstrike targets ISIS in Iraq for first time in 2 years​

A pair of U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornets embarked on the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) carried out the first carrier-launched airstrike in more than two years against the Islamic State terror group.

The Wednesday mission was the first carrier-launched airstrike in over two years. Cmdr. Rebecca Rebarich, a spokeswoman for the Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet, confirmed the airstrike as a carrier-launched operation in an emailed statement to American Military News. Rebarich said, “The last such strike was by USS Theodore Roosevelt in March 2018.”

While there have been no carrier-launched airstrikes in around 30 months, aircraft embarked aboard amphibious landing ships in the region have conducted some strikes during that 30-month period.

So Pres. Trump launched an air strike on Sept 23 because of how a debate went that was not even yet to happened until Sept 29th? Is that dog wagging or just the usual rush to judgement against Pres. Trump Thbolt??

First things first, ISIS rose to power after our 2011 troop withdrawal from Iraq, a big blunder, so I am glad when we can make a strike there.

It seems we are withdrawing embassy staff from Baghdad, it has become too dangerous. And that danger appears to be more from Iran, Hezbollah and allies.

One can eradicate cockroaches from one’s house, but sometimes a few stragglers can pop back up. And your post was about Pres. Trump" wagging the dog because he did poorly in a debate" that hadn’t even happened yet.
 
Your goalposts have feet. You just can’t admit that you misjudged Pres. Trump about the Sept. 23 air strike and be done with it can you?
 

US fears attack on diplomatic mission, set to withdraw diplomats from Iraq​

In a region polarised between allies of Iran and the United States, Iraq is the rare exception: a country that has close ties with both. But that has left it open to a perennial risk of becoming a battle ground in a proxy war.

Now, Washington is set to withdraw diplomats from Iraq after warning Baghdad it could shut its embassy – a step Iraqis fear could turn their country into a battle zone.

It’s a messy situation, see, we are about to withdraw some personnel for their safety.

Missiles, Katyusha Missiles land around our embassy fairly often. This just happened.

 
Hey, this article is as says in the headline, an airstrike in Iraq on ISIS. There are plenty of threads on Trump and Biden.
