Airbase hosting US troops in Iraq targeted in rocket attack, coalition says





(CNN)An airbase hosting US, Iraqi and coalition forces in Iraq was targeted on Wednesday by at least 10 rockets, US coalition officials said.

The Al-Asad airbase was struck by grad missiles, Iraqi officials said earlier Wednesday. There are no reports of casualties or damage, and no group immediately claimed responsibility.
The rocket launcher was found in the al-Bayader agricultural area near the town of al-Baghdadi, about 180 kilometers northwest of Baghdad, military sources told CNN. Sabereen news, a pro-Shia militia group, published images on its Telegram page claiming to show the launcher that attacked the base. CNN cannot independently verify the images.
The attack came just less than a week after the US military struck a site in Syria used by two Iranian-backed militia groups in response to rocket attacks on American forces in the region in recent weeks, which was the US military's first known action under President Joe Biden.
The airbase was last attacked in January 2020 by Iranian missiles avenging Qasem Soleimani, Iran's most powerful military figure who was killed by a US airstrike ordered by then-President Donald Trump at Baghdad International Airport in 2020.
Wednesday's rocket attack comes just two days ahead of a scheduled trip to Iraq by Pope Francis, the first time a Pope has visited the country. The Pope will be staying at the Vatican Embassy throughout his trip, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

Ok Breitbart Boy

By the way, I was reading over your posts this morning and noticed an unusual number of words that were misspelled...even by your standards. It's a little early in the morning to be hitting the sauce if that's the problem. If you don't have a drinking problem, then you should really work on your spelling. You're a grown man and it's hard to take you seriously when you can't spell. No offense.

No offense taken
Apparently we can add to your phobia list.

Iran bombed an airbase with American troops at it last night and it’s not even trending on social media. The difference in coverage from media now that their buddy Biden is in charge is criminal.

Iran bombed an airbase with American troops at it last night and it’s not even trending on social media. The difference in coverage from media now that their buddy Biden is in charge is criminal.

The bombing last night was discussed today at the daily press briefing from the White House. Battle damage assessment is still being made and the white House has no comment yet.

It is always a good idea to get your news from multiple websites so as to minimize both an editorial and a personal bias.

Biden encouraged by consumer interest in 'Obamacare' offer

President Joe Biden says it's an “encouraging sign" that more than 200,000 people have signed up for insurance coverage in the first two weeks after he reopened HealthCare


In a solid start, more than 200,000 people signed up for coverage the first two weeks after President Joe Biden reopened HealthCare.gov as part of his coronavirus response, the government said Wednesday.

Early consumer interest in the three-month special enrollment period shows pent-up demand for health insurance a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, with many people still unemployed or unable to work as many hours as before.

If the pace keeps up, “this special enrollment period could make a meaningful dent in the number of people uninsured,” said Larry Levitt, who tracks health insurance for the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “The enrollment numbers so far are stronger than I would have expected.”

Biden called the sign-ups “an encouraging sign,” adding that “we can’t slow down until every American has the security and peace of mind that quality, affordable health coverage provides.”

Reopening the health insurance markets fits into Biden’s strategy of pushing the U.S. toward coverage for all by building on the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, better known as “Obamacare.” HealthCare.gov offers taxpayer subsidized private health insurance, catering mainly to low- and moderate-income working people.

HealthCare.gov will be accepting applications through May 15, a stretch about twice as long as the regular annual open enrollment. The government has a $50 million advertising budget for the sign-up period, five times what the Trump administration would spend on annual open enrollment.
