[01:01:52] <Bytram> sorry!!!!!

[01:02:01] <systemd> ^ 03US bombs facilities in Syria used by Iran-backed militia ( https://www.washingtonpost.com )
[01:02:42] <Bytram> I was going to ask if we should run this, then decided to look at the stories, first and forgot to clear my text buffer!
[01:08:39] <Bytram> Breaking News? Yes. Tech-related? Military uses high-tech scanners, imagery, and weapons. Unsure how large the attack was, though. Still gathering info.
[01:08:51] <Bytram> from the WaPo link:
[01:08:51] <Bytram> The United States launched airstrikes in Syria on Thursday, targeting facilities near the Iraqi border used by Iranian-backed militia groups. The Pentagon said the strikes were retaliation for a rocket attack in Iraq earlier this month that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a U.S. service member and other coalition troops.
[01:09:06] <Bytram> “This proportionate military response was conducted together with diplomatic measures, including consultation with coalition partners,” the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, John Kirby, said in announcing the strikes.
[01:09:18] <Bytram> “The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel. At the same time, we have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to deescalate the overall situation in eastern Syria and Iraq.”

[01:18:00] <systemd> ^ 03US carries out airstrike against Iranian-backed militia in Syria
[01:18:55] <Bytram> "The airstrikes took place at about 6 p.m. ET."
[01:20:44] <Bytram> Will hold off for the moment.
[01:21:00] <Bytram> Any eds who see this, please ping me!
[01:25:16] <AzumaHazuki> welp. see this is why i'm not actually contradicting Runaway when he says Biden's war-happy and the DNC are all in on this: if by nothing more than coincidence, he's right

[01:56:27] <systemd> ^ 03U.S. Airstrikes in Syria Target Iran-Backed Militias That Rocketed U.S. Troops in Iraq
[01:56:28] <Bytram> "American officials said the military response was essentially a tiny demonstration strike: one bomb dropped on a small cluster of buildings on the Syria-Iraq border used to transit militia fighters and weaponry in and out of the country.
[01:56:28] <Bytram> The strike was just over the border in Syria to avoid diplomatic blowback to the Iraqi government. The Pentagon offered up several larger groups of targets but Mr. Biden approved the smallest option, American officials said."
[01:57:53] <Bytram> Based on ^^^ unless there is a military response or escalation, I am planning to hold off on running a story.
[02:03:35] <Bytram> I am NOT nixing the idea out of hand -- please speak up in any other editor thinks we should run with it.
