I don't care much about the action. I have to still find out more, but appears that they were in retaliation for rocket attacks against a USA based and coalition base in northern Iraq. So if they tossed rockets at our troops, then game on. I say show that the new administration will not be taken lightly.
Just kind of comical when someone keeps harping about Trump's ways, and turns around and bombs another country. :laugh2: We're back! Here, have a bomb!
And quite quickly in the past month to 6 weeks, hypocrites on record levels are out there screaming - nothing. :rolleyes:

China Mocks Biden Syria Bombing: ‘America Is Back’
China’s state-run Global Times newspaper mocked President Joe Biden on Friday, quoting his declaration, “America is back,” in a headline about his decision to bomb Syria on Thursday evening.
Biden made the remark in a speech about foreign policy in early February, in which he vowed to limit American military engagement.
“And they know when you speak, you speak for me,” Biden told diplomats at the State Department. “And so — so is the message I want the world to hear today: America is back. America is back. Diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy.”
On Thursday, 36 days into his presidency, Biden took unilateral action in Syria, ordering what the Pentagon dubbed a “defensive precision strike” on members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a legal wing of the Iraqi armed forces.
“At President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in a statement. “Specifically, the strikes destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kait’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kait’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).”
The named groups are among the most influential members of the PMF, particularly KH, or the Hezbollah Brigades.
The Global Times suggested Biden had undermined his promises to the American people in its coverage of the strikes, in an article it titled with Biden’s words, “America Is Back.” the Communist Party-approved experts quoted in the piece made the case that, under President Donald Trump, the White House preferred to use economic incentives and punishments like sanctions to confront national security threats by starving them of funding. Under Biden, military violence superseded the sanctions policy, they claimed.
