Heaviest missile attacks against American occupation forces in Iraq happened in the past 48h

The Iraqi resistance is targeting American bases with home made rockets that where intercepted with Patriot missiles.

Each of Iraqi rockets cost between $2k and $4k, the total price of 40 rockets are in the range of $24k-$48k.

Patriot missiles costis about $2M-$4.1M and in total US used about $150M worth of patriot missiles to intercept $50k worth of Iraqi resistance missiles. They didn't even manage to intercept all the incoming missiles and officially 2 US soldiers were injured and some more received "shock injuries" (another way of hiding the number of injured soldiers I guess).

Price information from this article:

the latest version missile interceptors cost about $4.1 million apiece. Earlier generation missiles cost about half that.

Keeping this up going to cost a lot for US as Iran haa provided not only the missiles, but also know-how to create them locally using water pipes and metal cans.

Maybe it's time for US to end the occupation of Iraq and Syria and put an end to 21 yeara of criminal operations in those countries.
