    We might as well occupy Afghanistan too, because that'll work out differently for us than the British and Russians.

    Oh. Wait...

    This smells fishy... I don't know it seems like there are folks that have been wanting a conflict with Iran for a long time and recently have been begging for an excuse.

    Definitely. We don't have 99 divisions to send like Ze Germans did.

    Hey, let's send the carriers within range of all the Chinese area denial forces! Why not do it big? Oh, wait, one of our members says the Pentagon has magic plans not to be clobbered if we do that.

    We shouldn't criticize war provoking actions because we got Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court to save gun rights. Follow my twisted thought patterns here. Hey, my portfolio is worth tanking for Kavanaugh!

    From BBC News:

    The US state department has ordered the departure of "non-emergency employees" from Iraq, amid rising tensions between the US and Iraq's neighbour Iran.

    Staff at the embassy in Baghdad and the consulate in Irbil must leave as soon as possible on commercial transport.

    Meanwhile, the German and Dutch armies have suspended training Iraqi soldiers.

    The US military said on Tuesday that the threat level in the Middle East had been raised in response to intelligence about Iran-backed forces in the region.

    KATYUSHA ROCKET FALLS NEAR U.S. EMBASSY IN CENTRAL BAGHDAD, NO INJURIES

    "A Katyusha rocket fell in the middle of the Green Zone without causing any losses, details to come later," the military said in a brief statement.

    I really, really, really hope we can avoid doing this dance again.
