What city/country did they come from and where did they go? First glance looks like a false flag

Who needs trumpers when you have progressives tearing down progressives. The pedantry is astounding

A false flag to do what?

To draw us into the region on a very long time scale, just like the first baseless invasion of Iraq: wow the shills don’t like this summary

We are in the region. That's why they fired rockets at us.

Which Barely answers my first question

The CIA doesn't inform me of their analysis, but it's probably done by now. Unconfirmed reports is that there are US dead. So, just as happened with the 3 dead US troops in Jordan weeks ago, something will happen.

still could be a false flag, just like 9/11 and others.

Also, still could be false flag, you know that though

Did you even read the article? Less than halfway through the article it says.

Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah said early on Monday that armed groups decided to resume attacks on U.S. forces in the country after seeing little progress on talks to achieve the exit of U.S. troops during Iraq's prime minister visit to Washington. “What happened a short while ago is the beginning,” the group said in an apparent reference to the attack late on Sunday.

An Iraqi terrorist organization sponsored by Iran literally claimed responsibility for the attack.

It could be aliens, you know that though

It can't be. The aliens gave a press conference where they denied responsibility.

There aren't enough spy satellites to cover the entire planet all the time. They have prescribed and predictable orbits. If the attacker is a bit sophisticated, they could even time the attack to make sure there are no satellites around when they do it. The orbits aren't exactly public knowledge, but it's not something that can be hidden, either. There's a whole amateur community out there for tracking them. But even if the attacker didn't time it, it's not likely they'd be noticed in a random Iraqi village, anyway.

This is why we still have spy planes. If amateurs can track spy satellites, then so can nation states. They have a use, but they're a little too predictable. But a spy plane won't be watching every Iraqi village, either.

How do we know you’re really Cuttlefish1111? Maybe you’re a government plant who’s just trying to make us think that Cuttlefish1111 is an idiot, so we won’t trust him! Which is more likely, Cuttlefish1111 saying something really stupid or the government conspiring against him? First glance I think the answer is obvious.

As a flying squid, I can tell you that is no cuttlefish. They all speak Norwegian and they're monolingual. It's really annoying. You have to float there with a translator app if you need anything...
