Is that as racist as White Settlement, Texas?
TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Four people were wounded on Sunday in an attack on Balad air base in northern Iraq which houses U.S. personnel.The Iraqi military said in a statement that eight Katyusha rockets had been fired at the base, about 80 km (50 miles) north of the capital Baghdad, and that the four wounded included two officers.Military sources identified the wounded as Iraqi soldiers. They said seven mortar bombs had hit the base’s runway.
For the past 40-odd years, two narratives have guided American Middle East policy. Both were invented by the Carter administration. One relates to Iran. One relates to Israel.Both narratives reject reality as the basis for foreign policy decision-making in favor of delusion. Over the past two months, President Donald Trump has rejected and disavowed them both. His opponents are apoplectic.
It's looking more and more like there may be enough senate votes to pass the house resolution limiting Trump's unilateral ability to act against Iran.
How many do they need for that? Simple majority? I'm curious what Rs will be jumping to the D side on it.
