.MaddowBlog: Did Pres. Trump flub the facts on troop injuries following Iran strike?
Last week, in retaliation for the U.S. airstrike that killed Gen. Qassim Soleimani, Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two Iraqi air bases housing U.S. forces. The next morning, Donald Trump delivered a strange speech, littered with unnecessary falsehoods, though the president stressed an important bottom line.
In the days after the attack, 11 service members have been transported to two hospitals, in Germany and Kuwait, for follow-up screening, [Capt. Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement]. All of which raises the question of why, exactly, the American president made a point to say “no Americans were harmed” in the Iranian missile strike, given the evidence to the contrary.
What’s more, maybe some of the U.S. servicemembers who needed treatment weren’t transported to hospitals right away, and they started feeling ill effects in the days following the attack.
