They're fucking dumb. Although considered the highest ranking official to be killed, he is isn't the first. I've read about a few Iranian generals being killed in airstrikes in warzones. They must honestly believe Muhammad is looking over them. They could issue orders from afar, there is no reason to be putting themselves in the cross hairs.
only cowards think this way.

The more I dig into this the more it seems likely that the initial attack against K1 was a staged provocation and the following strikes against the PMUs were long preplanned, though I don't understand what the goal was at this point. Might write up a dedicated thread on it later if anyone's interested
I have to wonder who Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is actually loyal to. Because, the U.S. strike of Kata’ib Hizbullah forces near the Al Qaim border crossing with Syria in Iraq is a dangerous escalation there.
And it’s completely at odds with Trump’s goals of wanting us out of the Middle East. The Al Qaim border crossing is a particular red line for Israel and their allies in the U.S. State and Defense Departments.
It represents the normalization of commerce between Syria, Iraq and Iran over time. This is the so-called Shia Crescent which is the stuff of nightmares for Benjamin Netanyahu.
And the U.S. has been hopping mad for months since now caretaker Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdel Mahdi opened the border because it undermines U.S. presence in Syria.
The entire point of U.S. occupation of the Al-Tanf border crossing into Jordan and the oil fields in Deir Ezzor province is about starving the Syrian government of any reliable energy and revenue.
When Al Qaim/Al Bukamai was opened it was only a matter of time before a major skirmish would occur over it. Israel staged a series of air attacks previously using U.S. assets and air bases to launch them back in September.
Now, we have the convenient excuse for attacking these forces which are part of the Popular Mobiliztion Units, PMU, which Pompeo despises by ‘retaliating’ for a rocket attack on the K1 base near Kirkuk where one U.S. mercenary was killed and a handful of others injured.
The response from the U.S. Air Force was completely out of line with the initial attack and occurred without any attempt by Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to justify it.
They just invoked the phrase, “Iran-backed forces” and then bombed troops over 200 miles away where they wanted to strike anyway.
And what’s important is what both Elijah Magnier and Moon of Alabama pointed out immediately, the U.S. struck member of Shia militias who were made official part of the Iraqi defense forces.
In other words the U.S. just attacked and killed dozens of Iraqi military personnel.

Waterboarding at Guantanamo bay sounds like an awesome time … ifunny.co/picture/waterboarding-at-guantanamo… Mar 29, 2019 · Waterboarding is a form of torture where a cloth rag is placed on your face and gallons of water are then poured onto said cloth rag. The result is an experience much like drowning. Guantanamo Bay is a military prison that the U.S. sends their worst and most dangerous criminals. Sounds like fun.
they dont do waterboarding in gitmo.
the inmates are provided with realistic drowning simulations, so that they can appreciate life much better.

After stirring shit up in the Middle East now idiot Trump has to deal with Iran and its emissaries. Latest hot spot Iraq. Damn I can see this resurgence growing to the point where a mandatory draft is reinstated. Will you encourage your kids to enlist in Trumps war to save Israel?
wasnt he the one who wanted to leave mid-east and the only thing that held him back was the swamp ?
