Please watch this:
As part of Obama's surrender to Iran Qassem Suleimani has been granted amnesty. Suleimani is the commander of the Iranian elite Quds forces. The full text of Obama's surrender can be seen here. Suleimani appears on page 86.
IED's have taken a horrible toll on the US military:
About 6,572 U.S. troops have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 2,483 of those deaths are IED related, according to the Washington Post. IEDs are the top killer of U.S. troops. Thousands more have been wounded by them.There's lasting damage even if one survives an IED blast.IEDs are a weapon that have torn limbs and lives in equal measure, left a superpower humbled and ensured the nation and its veterans will pay a high price for decades in continuing medical and psychological care.
That's exactly what happened. The roller was destroyed, but the RG-31 survived. For those inside, there was the shock of the explosion, painful ear pressure, air made black with billowing dirt and dust, and a chemical smell that burned the nostrils.These weapons- the really sophisticated ones- come an interesting source- Iran.Skoog, closer to the blast in the driver's seat, was stunned and disoriented. "It's not a physical wound," he recalls. "It's more like something doesn't feel right."
He showed signs of a mild traumatic brain injury from blast exposure, what scientists call the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. With dizziness, headaches and minor concentration problems, Skoog was kept out of combat for two weeks.
Understanding the frequency of these wounds in a war where body and vehicle armor block shrapnel but the IED blast wave can still damage the brain was one of the hardest lessons learned by military medicine from modern wars.
"It was like a slow awakening for everybody," says Chris Macedonia, a doctor and former adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now-retired admiral Michael Mullen. "There were phenomena that were happening, particularly related to IEDs, that just didn't match what the education and teaching were before."
Doctors found that repeated mild brain injuries from blasts — without allowing the brain time to heal — can cause permanent neurological damage, risking later onset of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or the even more debilitating chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
U.S. military officials charged on Sunday that the highest levels of the Iranian leadership ordered Shiite militants in Iraq to be armed with sophisticated armor-piercing roadside bombs that have killed more than 170 American forces. ... The deadly and highly sophisticated weapons the U.S. military said were coming into Iraq from Iran are known as "explosively formed penetrators," or EFPs.And delivering these EFP's to Iraq was the responsibility of a notorious group:
Three senior military officials who explained the evidence said the "machining process" used in the construction of the deadly bombs had been traced back to Iran.The Quds Forces. And who is in charge of the Quds Forces?The experts, who spoke to a large gathering of reporters on condition that they not be further identified, said the supply trail began with Iran's Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, which also is accused of arming the Hezbollah guerrilla army in Lebanon. The officials said the EFP weapon was first tested there.
Qassem Suleimani.
As part of his surrender, Obama lifted travel sanctions on Suleimani and took him off the terrorist list.
The Obama regime has admitted that Obama capitulation will enable Iran to increase funding of terrorism around the world.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who led nuclear negotiations with the United States, recently travelled to Syria and Lebanon to announce Iran’s renewed support for Hezbollah and the embattled regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, according to the brief.Obama would free Iran to wreak havoc:Iran will “continue providing weapons to support the Middle Eastern countries fighting terrorism,” Zarif is quoted as saying by Iran’s state-controlled press.
In light of the nuclear deal, Iran will “preserve its defensive capabilities and send weapons to its regional allies,” according to Zarif, who stressed that “without Iran and the weapons it provided to the countries fighting terrorism, the capital cities of the Middle East would have been occupied by” the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL).

“As part of Obama’s surrender to Iran Qassem Suleimani has been granted amnesty. Suleimani is the commander of the Iranian elite Quds forces. “
What difference does it make? I’ve been told by numerous people (Trump supporters, of course) that it’s not important to know who Suleimani is, so it must not matter if the guy was granted amnesty.....
I don’t know what’s worse - 0bama’s anti-American ways or the Congress and Courts and msm for allowing him to do it.
Our prayers go to the wounded and their families.

No.
As President, Trump will know exactly who is who and what is what. And he’ll know exactly what to do about it.
Don’t worry about it.
BTW, yours is quite an asinine statement to make, just so you know.
What can be expected from a person who conceals their past, their identity, their associations with violent subversives. Oh - we can’t talk about that.
The political class is so corrupt that every one of them belongs in jail.
So it doesn't matter that he doesn't know now??
Don’t worry about it.
Don't worry that the leading GOP Presidential candidate doesn't know who Iran's leading terrorist is? Sorry, but "Trust me, I'll figure it out, don't worry about it" is not what I want to hear from someone who wants to become President.
Every time I see a Wounded Warrior commercial, I remember this:

If you were running for President, and someone in your campaign told you "The head of The Quds forces-the guy in charge of the IEDs that kill our troops-has been granted AMNESTY by 0bama", what would you say?
Would you say "Hmm...I don't know his name, so who cares?"
Or would you say, "Whoever the hell this guy is, I want him dead, first thing, if I become President."
Why would trump know? He doesn’t even listen to his advisors.

“A vote for this deal means more money for Iranian terrorism. What do you think they’re going to do when they get more money?”
Every time I see a wounded warrior commercial I have to ask, why does Obama’s family get to fly around at hundreds of thousands of dollars...and these wounded vets have to continually come out and ask for money to live out a life of disability.
So, is Obama a Muslim before everything else, with Marxism, the Green agenda, and the gay agenda, just means to weakening the cultural unity of the US?
Or is there some other order of preference in his belief system?
Specious.
If Hewitt were serious he would have asked the question this way:
The leader of the Iranian force that contributed to the Iraqi insurgency that maimed and killed US troops with IEDs and other attacks is given amnesty in Obama’s Iran deal. What, Donald Trump, are your thoughts on this and how does the US address Iranian State sponsored terror around the world, including attacks on US troops and interests?
Instead Hewitt resorts to a sophomoric, Ivy-league undergraduate
mentality.
Why? Because 1) he still has that sophomoric mindset or 2) it was meant to provide a mockable moment as part of the RNC GOPe narrative.
The leader of the Iranian force that contributed to the Iraqi insurgency that maimed and killed US troops with IEDs and other attacks is given amnesty in Obama’s Iran deal. What, Donald Trump, are your thoughts on this and how does the US address Iranian State sponsored terror around the world, including attacks on US troops and interests?
So using the name of the terrorist group and its leader is sophomoric? That's just nonsense.
They are the Non-Profit Profiteers.
That’s right. Wounded Warrior Project won’t be seeing even a dime from me. Not even the Semper Fi Fund will see my money. General Amos is with the Semper Fi Fund, and he’s the one who burned several Marines for pissing on dead Taliban. He also burned Marines for “whistle-blowing”.
>>What difference does it make? I’ve been told by numerous people (Trump supporters, of course) that it’s not important to know who Suleimani is, so it must not matter if the guy was granted amnesty.....
It doesn’t matter if a candidate in a PRIMARY knows detailed lists of names. When a person becomes president, they can think they know it all (Carter) or have a single advisor (Obama) or they can focus on the big picture and surround themselves with trusted experts who know the details and accept counsel from these experts.
Hint: a LEADER is the third type.
We don’t need an encyclopedia for CIC.
We need someone who can surround himself with knowledgeable people, assess a situation, make decisions based on what’s in our best long term interest, and take responsibility.
Leaders don’t need to know everything about everything. That’s why they have experienced people at the ready with advice and up to date information. Leaders make decisions; set the tone; concentrate on the big picture.
You can only blame Republicans in office who voted to help 0bama do this. You can't even blame Jeb. Just people like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
Leave Trump out of your disdain. Cruz KNOWS what's going on and VOTED FOR IT. It passed the Senate 99-1.
“Remember, under the terms Corker agreed to with the Democrats, it would take 67 votes in the Senate to block the deal, not 67 votes to approve it, as the Constitution requires under the Treaty Clause.”
How do you like that GOP Establishment Cruz and Rubio with your bile?
