Why no info on casualties yet, surely they know by now? Nt

1. They don't release that information before damage assessments are done, and

if there were casualties they notify families first, before releasing information to the public.

[USALiberal]

2. Ok, that makes sense, thank you! Nt

[3Hotdogs]

7. They notify families first, of their relatives' deaths. But the occurance of casualties is

announced without naming names.

3. I suspect he is too deep in a sundown state to function on TV tonight

Tomorrow, on meds, gripping the podium nor behind the desk, a teleprompter speech

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

4. What casualties?

What have I missed?

Not everyone spends the entire day watching TV.

Which may be why I don't take a lot of stuff as seriously as many here do.

6. The ones that people were saying were being reported but noone could confirm.

If you're looking for accurate information, take everything you hear/read with a grain of salt, including what you read here.

[Tipperary]

8. From what I've seen tonight...

especially what you read here.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. Oh, I do take everything with a grain of salt.

But I'm seeing a lot of posts with no context, because those posting assume everyone is watching the same news outlets they are.

Perhaps I'm the only person in North America who doesn't have a TV. Or who doesn't have a news channel tuned 24-7.

15. Kind of a natural assumption, given the missile strikes,

wouldn't you say?

[whathehell]

13. Um, the ones resulting from Iran's missile strike targeting

Americans on Iraqi airbases in retaliation for the assassination of General Soleimani?

One needn't spend "the entire day watching tv" to be informed of important national news -- It can be picked up in a few minutes.

5. Iraqi officials saying zero. Good news

[USALiberal]

11. Thank you, great news! Nt

[Bayard]

9. I read 13 American troops earlier

Where did that come from?

[onenote]

10. It was pulled out of someone's ass.

12. The Hill: Early reports indicated that there were no U.S. casualties in the missile attacks,

IMPOTUS tweeted: "Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!"

F'head started tweet "All is well"! :

16. With trump any numbers could easily be false

Our numbers much lower, their's he'll claim are higher. He'll lie , and until he's held accountable the lying will escalate, along with his criminal acts. Republicans in Congress are responsible for this for enabling this monster, who will continue escalating this conflict so he can promote himself with it.
