WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The
United States treated 11 of its troops for symptoms of concussion after
an Iranian missile attack on an Iraqi base where U.S. forces were
stationed, the U.S. military said on Thursday, after initially saying no
service members were hurt.
The attack was retaliation for a
U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3 that killed Qassem Soleimani,
the commander of the elite Quds Force of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
President Donald Trump and the U.S. military had said there were no casualties after the strike on the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq and a facility in its northern Kurdish region.
"While no U.S. service members were killed in the Jan. 8 Iranian attack on Al Asad air base, several were treated for concussion symptoms from the blast and are still being assessed," Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement.... Yahoo News
The Americans have been lying to the world daily for years. They have made use of the main media to propagate their lies to the daft and willing to hear only what they wanted to hear. Many of the war statistics were outright lies and this attack on American bases was the most recent lie exposed. Iranians firing dud missiles that would not hit at American soldiers, all 15 of them hit their targets with no casualties. The last part was the American lie.
In many of the rocket and missiles attacks by the Arab and Muslim forces, especially by the Palestinians, the Americans would claim no casualties or the rockets/missiles did not hit their targets or were intercepted. These were furthest from the truth. No defence system can intercept even half the in coming rockets/missiles unless the enemy fired one at a time. When they rained the targets with rockets and missiles and artillery, many would get through and hit their targets and inflict casualties for sure.
This is the same as how they boasted about their Iron Dome defence and Patriot system. All hogwash. Even the capabilities of their F22s and F35s were mostly on paper and not what would be in real situation. The propaganda war using western media on English educated willing to believe the American lies have been very successful so far. But this is not going to go on forever.
Even the American believers are starting to know that they have been fed of daily doses of American white lies and are turning sceptics and questioning and feeling silly to believe the rubbish churned out by the Americans and American proxy and crony media.
You can't lie to all the people all the time. The Iranians would sink the US warships and aircraft carriers in the region if war started and all American bases, including those in Israel and Europe could be hit. It would not be a walkover, a cake walk like the invasion of Iraq and Libya.
Singapore media buy the news of lies from NYT, CNN, AFP, AP, etc to help propagate their lies to daft bananas in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteLack of journalistic standards due to too much control, to serve the PAP's agenda, and some personal agenda of the power that be, and sheer laziness have caused the sad state of affairs in the local media.
ReplyDeleteAsk the Sinkiekand so called only Shopping and my hubby's hobbies written articles news pariah journalists to see the Korean Dramas of REAL life journalists WHO haunted their Assemblymen, Women and ChaBo CEOs and even their Presidents for REAL life scandals.
ReplyDeleteNOT reporting frivolous articles of their lifestyles and mouth pieces of propaganda for the PAP.
Anyway, these war mongering Americunts deserved to be maimed and killed.
Won't be surprised that's also just a cover up report of their many DEATHS.
Americunts soldiers NOW cannot fight ground combat until their other support fires cleared the paths for them just to parade through.
They have no more ground and close combat fighting abilities and they were aware of their short comings.
Thus, they just like our Sinkiekand armies have exercises to wayang their poweress but are nothing but just shadows dancing.
In REAL situations they are All dead ducks.
That's why they won't dare to antagonize the North Koreans and the PRCs and also Russia.
With the enactment of the highly controversial and questionable law called POFMA, that gives the unfeted power to each and every minister the autonomy, expediency, flexibility and independence to decide and proclaim what is truth and what is false, by manipulating words (via personal interpretations) the stage has been set for Singapore to become the world's most distinguishable Animal Farm as described and told by George Orwell.
ReplyDeleteFrom now on, white can be black, black can be white, lies can be truths, truths can be lies, injustice can be justice, justice can be injustice, the accused can be the executioner, the executioner can be the accused, an idiot can be minister, a minister can be an idiot. It doesn't seem to matter at all. Fire-fighting will become the game of the day. All that matters is expedient execution of the trouble-maker, the dissident, the persistent critic, and whoever crossed the path or stepped out of the red line.
Not a surprise. Thats why many countries now ganging up to oppo yankies. Anyway, no empire can last forever.
ReplyDeleteThe more the world exposes the evil deeds of the Evil American Empire the better it is for human kind. This warmongering state has killed and maimed and destroyed so many countries and people in the short 75 years when it became the world's number one super power. Instead of helping the world progress and building a better world for everyone, it spent its wealth and resources to protect the Empire and its own power through wars, inciting wars, creating divisions and oppression.
ReplyDeleteIt squandered the first few decades of its goodwill to build a new world order but was seduced and subsumed by its obsession for power and glory. The only reason for the Americans is the Empire and the rest of the world must be under their control at all cost.
For that, all evil deeds would become their weapons, including spreading fake news and information as the truth, spreading lies after lies and trying to smear every country with their control of the media and power.
This is gradually coming to an end and the rate of Americans fall from glory and grace would increase rapidly, unstoppable as they continue with their wars and destabilisation of the world and countries.
We are all going to bear witness to the fall of the Evil American Empire. All Empires would turn evil in its last days, with bad and incompetent leaders that they believed were great and able leaders, lying to themselves in their arrogance and self deceit, and no matter how they cling on to their last breath, the last breath it would be.
Good riddance.
The world at large must bring the evil wars and destruction, initiated and launched by the Evil US Empire back to the US mainland. Infiltrate, infest, infuse and ignite their own weapons of mass destruction (ie. US citizens) to destroy themselves.
ReplyDeleteEven the capabilities of their F22s and F35s were mostly on paper and not what would be in real situation.

Hahahahahaha.
But at least it serves as a deterrent effect against the Iranians from not daring to kill or have a real war with the Americans lah.
Just bomb bomb wayang a bit to save face lah. The Iranian bombs only cause "concussions" to the American soldiers. Maybe it was even planned that way. LOL
@All,
ReplyDeleteI bet half of those "concussions" are malingering .... not to chao keng or siam duties like our NSmen .... but to get $500K or $1M payouts from US govt --- "war" injuries.
The Americans admitted 11 casualties and no death. You believe that? The numbers could be much higher and there could also be death but they dared not admit it.
ReplyDeleteAnd for inflicting so heavy casualties on the Americans, the Americans back off and dared not hit back anymore knowing that when the Iranians hit back, it would cause more American casualties and death.
Don't pray pray with the Iranians. The revenged attack by the Iranians showed to the Americans that they are playing with fire and it is better to back off.
@All,
ReplyDeleteThe best revenge is making lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
My performance in War Stocks since I started in the early 2000s.
My actual performance is actually much better since (1) the above doesn't include dividends, and (2) the above doesn't factor in my other individual stocks like Lockheed, Northrup, GD, Raytheon, Boeing, L3Harris etc which have done even better.

ReplyDeleteWoa u really Gong Xi Fatt Choy on ur warring stocks. Be careful that it might become useless once a 'war' outbreak. The Universal law of cause and effect is always there, warring stocks or not all can become nil once the D dey arrives, so juz be cautious.
This is an article about America.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an article about PAP.
American Exceptionalism means the US Government can essentially do whatever the fuck it wants to. It doesn't have to abide by international law or the UN.
ReplyDeleteGet on the right side of the trade lah. You complain, no point...nothing will change.
Propagandists are everywhere and anywhere, as long as there are different groups of humans.
ReplyDeleteEven within the same group, tribe, creed, race and DNA, there are always differences. These differences can be divided into three main categories: commonly known as the good, the bad and the ugly.
There is no middle-of-the-road neutrals. All neutrals will take side one way or another and behave accordingly when their self-interests are at stake.
When Matilah talked about American Exceptionalism and evilness, he spoke about it in a very congenial way, accepting that it is alright, no sense of anger or disapproval.
ReplyDeleteThen look at how he mentioned words like CCP, Xi Jinping or Kim Jung Un, you could sense how much hate in them, for reasons he did not know except his daily bread fed by the Americans and western media to smear them as if they were devils.
The Fun is about to begin. Stock up your champayne, beer, peanut, bakgua and cigar.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump shall rout those that want to impeach him.
The Man chosen by god to rule the US of America is going to rid those out to
dispower him. He is most capable to achieve it with the supports of the Americans,
who will elect him for another term.
Hail Donald
Trump the Great.
Cheers !
@ RB
ReplyDeleteYes we all have our biases. At least I'm honest in admitting mine.
America has its "Exceptionalism" for policy and "Exorbitant Privilege" wrt the US Dollar. Just those 2 aspects of American Federal Power makes the US government the most powerful single "authority" (unelected outside the USA) on the planet. What the USA Govt says, goes. If you don't play ball, they have a huge military, NSA and CIA to fuck you up...even if you're a US citizen living abroad and making trouble like Edward Snowden and John McAfee. They're both HUNTED fugitives facing severe penalties in the US if they ever return.
That said, the USA still protects individual liberties, at least in spirit even though it's not 100% in accordance with constitutional principles.
As an Asian growing up in an authoritarian society, you can understand my bias AGAINST authoritarianism as practiced by the likes of Xi, the CCP, and Kim N Korea.
These fuckers hunt down their own citizens: Falun Gong, Christians, and Uighurs. And they're a that to Hong Kong democracy movement...which I support. Please don't give me the western brainwashing shit... I've been to China several times. I'm not Christian, but my Christian friends have their Chinese Christian friends in jail.
Don't make the mistake in CONFLATING my sentiments with my PRAGMATISM on which I base my choices.
I'm long China. This year I'm loading up on China hi tech and state owned banks. Hong Kong's Link REIT is down 15-20% (thank you democracy protestors 😜)
So the US Govt can continue to bully it's citizens and the world. China's CCP can continue to fuck over their own citizens, and conquer new territory by placing them in unplayable debt...and do whatever the fuck they want to attain GLOBAL DOMINATION.
As I said many times: don't care about what you cannot control. Care about getting on the "right side of the trade"....that you have 100% control. (you can also be wrong, remember that 🤓)
PRAGMATISM HAS NO MORAL COMPASS 💪🤟👏💲💲
