The 22 ballistic missiles did not miss. 25% of the larger airbase is occupied by US men and women. The missiles hit that 25% and destroyed the living quarters where the US men sleep. If not for advanced warning the American dead could have been excessive. American Equipment worth a lot of money was destroyed in that attack. And there were craters in the runway at that airforce base in Iraq. So it's false that Iran missed on purpose. No, they hit what they were aiming at with great accuracy. Iran showed Trump that they can hit anything within 600 miles or more if they want to. That gave Trump a great pause. Sure we could attack Iran and wipe out a lot of Iran but they will fire many more ballistic missiles at our US assets and destroy a lot of equipment and kill a lot of Americans. The American public would not stand still for American losses. So Trump decided to pull in his horns as Trump is not a warrior. Trump avoided the war in Vietnam by having his doctor claim that he had bone spurs. Now I call him Cadet Bone Spurs. Trump likes to talk a big game and Iran just called his bluff. Trump made America look week IMHO. I was hoping that Trump would at least take out some of Iran's Ballistic Missile launch sites even though they are mobile. I read that our satellites saw Iran moving their missiles before they fired them at our airbase in Iraq. We should have taken those missile sites out when we saw Iran fueling them up for the attack. They don't fuel up liquid-fueled Ballistic missiles unless they intend to fire them at something.
So today Sunday more Rockets and mortars landed on another airbase in Iraq. What will Trump do now to discourage the Iranian from causing more trouble?
