    1. Don M, you complain when news organizations don’t report the news, now they report it you complain it’s “click bait”. They reported on the middle attack on terrorist camps last week also by US forces.

    2. @John DiGiacomo I complain when they don’t report the news? I doubt you know me. Where in this video did you see them add enough context to the text in the thumbnail? Look up what clickbait means please.

    3. It’s called sensational headlines, it was also offering a thought piece. The article was a filler piece. I don’t have to look up click bait, your context says it all.

    4. @John DiGiacomo Sensational headlines are clickbait as well. Glad I was able to teach you something today. Carry on.

    5. Don M, you can’t teach me something I already knew. I just called your attention to how obvious it was.

    1. There were photos taken by satellite that showed the strikes. The question is how do we respond. Trump killed an Iranian official on Iraqi soil. Then he threatened and did nothing after and attack on an American base that injured American servicemen. We’ll see what Biden does.

    2. @John DiGiacomo Shame you only have 1 / 2 the story .…(1) Pentagon caught lying …Claims Bombing intel came from Iraq… (2) Iraq Government calls Pentagon Lairs ( Bad intel came from Israel ) … (3) 22 Syrian civilians fatalities Biden bombs ….(4) Green Zone under constant attack … ( 5 ) 5 Iraq protesters shot and killed demand America and NATO leave (6) Keep in mind …Jan. 5, 2020 — Iraqi Lawmakers Vote to Expel U.S. Troops

    3. @John DiGiacomo That’s not the point. This looks like it’s current news and it isn’t. How confusing is that to people who will assume that Iran has fired another missile yesterday or today. They have to stop making Iran out to be the problem when the problem is the US.

    4. They already ran the story about the US attack on terrorist camps last week, and asked an opinion then also.

    5. @John DiGiacomo Btw …lets do some math …22 Civilian X 10 members to each family = 220 new rebels

    1. She is just hiding details ….we are going to war .…(1) Pentagon caught lying …Claims Bombing intel came from Iraq… (2) Iraq Government calls Pentagon Lairs ( Bad intel came from Israel ) … (3) 22 Syrian civilians fatalities Biden bombs ….(4) Green Zone under constant attack … ( 5 ) 5 Iraq protesters shot and killed demand America and NATO leave (6) Keep in mind …Jan. 5, 2020 — Iraqi Lawmakers Vote to Expel U.S. Troops ( 7 ) have you forgot WMD’s ?

    2. They reported on the US attack on terrorist camps last week also, they are just reporting on this, if they weren’t you’d accuse them of hiding it.

    3. @John DiGiacomo terrorist camps ? … 22 Syrian civilians fatalities
      …a little math … 22 Syrian civilians * 10 members per family = 220 new rebels …well done …must work for Pentagon

    1. David Brown, I considered the same thing after 9/11 about Bush and Gore, but when is it ever better to have the dumbest person in the room making the decision? Bush’s solution led to greater unrest in the region, the “Arab spring” and more The of races, not fewer. Had our efforts been focused on Al Quieda, and not attack Iraq, we would have been more respected in the region a created fewer problems.

    2. David Brown, we BECAME a laughingstock because of Trump, and our word became worthless. So stop with your stupidity. Macron, Johnson and others were seen laughing about him in a G7 summit. He left early.

    3. David Brown, we apparently misread each other. We’re both on the same page here. I was referring to Bush’s lesser intelligence versus Gore, Trump I wouldn’t trust to run a garbage route.

  1. Love you Rachel, but shame on the pencil pushers for posting clickbait disguised as serious news! WOW! I want my click back please.

  2. Disappointing. There have been a number of clickbaity titles from MSNBC recently – this is the worst.

  3. WOW! Going for full blown Fear Propaganda. MSNBC is really getting desperate now that Trump is gone. Spreading fear, anxiety, paranoia, full blown un- critical Biden Worship 24/7, divisiveness.
    No wonder I have stopped watching the news!!!
    This takes the cake, as far a corporate media advertising! So absurd!!

  4. The odd cobweb algorithmically offer because gallon premenstrually divide astride a second organization. wet, roasted mile

  5. $OOOOooo you should be happy M$L$D……By the sounds of it you all will have a NEW WAR too go cover?

  6. I don’t know what you’re talking about. The Iranian missile attack on US troops in Iraq was a year ago. Is this, like, a commercial? So ironic that she stresses that good journalism requires context in a clip that provides zero context.
