Covid-19 kills silently, US war party kills explosively

It was 'bombs away' for the US military mission defiling Iraq yesterday. At least 26 alleged bad guys were blown to bits following a rocket attack that killed 2 US and one British solder and wounding 14 more in Iraq. Without an investigation or shred of evidence as to the culprits, the US launched attacks on 5 sites in Iraq and a Syrian border town. It never occurs to the US war party that the best way to protect US soldiers is to withdraw them from a region that will never stop fighting to get them out of their neighborhood. It doesn't matter who, just that many more than our two deaths must be avenged to maintain the fantasy that our presence is needed where we don't, indeed, never belonged.

The military says the attacks will continue till the threat to US troops is neutralized. Using up all those bombs will keep US bomb factories humming. The economy may be in free fall from silent killer Covid-19, but the noisy killer dropped from US bombers is just heating up.
