Note....this was not an attack by proxies. This was a direct attack from Iran on US forces.
**No, it wasn't.
You're correct. Initial reports by CBS news was incorrect.
Iran seems to be lashing out at all it's non-Shia muslim foes after the bombing last week.
They aren't trying to hide it.
**So? Are you suggesting that the US should risk inflaming the Middle
East more than it is now?
If they HAD engaged in direct attacks on US forces from Iran with ballistic missiles
are you suggesting we should sit on our asses and let them kill our soldiers.
**Iran is not killing US soldiers. If it did, then I would expect
instant retribution.
It would be a Ronald Reagan Lebanon moment.
You either respond in force or withdraw. You can't ask our soldiers to sit there and take it.
Now are you suggesting the US withdraw from the middle east?
**That is what Trump will/would do. Trump will also withdraw the US from
NATO.
A better question would be: WWTD? (What Would Trump Do?)
We already know what he did do. The middle east and in fact the entire world was a much more peaceful place during his term as president.
**Are you suggesting that the attack by Hamas and the resultant
retaliation from Israel would not have occurred, if Trump was POTUS? How
would he have managed that? Have fun trying to explain that position.
