The official said shelling was so heavy that the U.S. personnel were exfiltrated once the attack had ceased. Newsweek has reached out to the Pentagon for comment on the situation.

So, they didn't bomb US troops, it was just very fucking close so they left.

Too early to tell exactly how close it was. Reports that a large number of the isis prisoners have escaped as well.

And now we're deploying 2000 more troops to Saudi Arabia. Thought the policy was getting away from wars?

I personally would prefer if we just left that entire place to get fucked by themselves.

Build a big fence around the whole place, ship all the "refugees" from there back and then let them sort it out.

Trump: <says literally anything.>
NBA: Orange man bad! Aww, what's the matter, wannabe dictator?! Gonna cry that we can express our first amendment rights?!

China led by an actual dictator: Silence all speech critical of China.
NBA: Yes, masters! We are here to appease your every whim!

If only that were possible, the hate eventually gets pointed west, due to support for Israel.

Clinton tried that approach, result: al Qaeda.

Obama tried that approach, result: ISIS.

Policy should always be to remain, just enough, in the Middle East such that they keep fighting themselves. Think we can all agree on that.
