”To be clear, this is the equivalent of Iran killing the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and then taking credit for it.”

The writer is a moron. Equating the U.S. military which has done rescue and relief operations ALL OVR THE WORLD. including saving hundreds of thousands of muslims from monsoons a few years back, comparing them with the Iranian SCUM who intentionally women and children.

I don't think the guy was comparing them for any purposes other than establishing their importance to their respective governments in the mind of the reader.

And please stop putting U.S. military and intelligence agency leadership on a pedestal. I've seen enough from those corners of Washington to know that I'd never trust them in any matter whatsoever. Have you already forgotten that John Brennan was once the Director of the CIA?

Five days ago, an undisclosed intelligence agency intercepted a telephone call made by the head of Iran’s Quds Force, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, in which he was heard ordering his proxies in Iraq to attack the U.S embassy in Baghdad, ...

How many American Democrats were on the call with Qassem?

the Rats have tried everything else

You're probably on to something. The Rats are totally at a loss for what to do, so dredging up something from the past, a replay of the '79 hostage crisis, is about as creative as they can be anymore. It's pretty easy to imagine John Kerry thinking himself So Clever to present such a plan to his Iranian Deep State friends, may they rest in perdition.

I forgot nothing, but it seems YOU forgot how our Navy saved your little drowning rat muslims in the Pacific a few years ago, and how they expressed their “joy” afterwards.

BRENNAN BELONGS IN GITMO, and your excusing this idiot writer who WAS EQUATING OUR allegiance WITH IRAN reminds us where your allegiance sometimes lies.

6 of the largest humanitarian missions in US military history:

Iran military: hanging gays, beating and imprisoning women over a headscarf, taking billions to build nukes to launch at USA and Israel, funding hezbullah and hamas, blowing up Jewish centers in Argentina... DO WE NEED TO SHOW YOU PICTURES to show you that while we indeed have some bad apples, OUR MILITARY & leadership is not to be equated TO IRAN'S?

Perhaps it was the Russians? As payback for the St Petersburg warning. After all they have access to the Syrian air port and possibly flight schedules as well as manifest. Interesting!

The airline carrying the Iranians, Cham Wings, is a private Syrian company with its head office in Damascus. It was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department three years ago because “Cham Wings has cooperated with Government of Syria officials to transport militants to Syria to fight on behalf of the Syrian regime and assisted the previously-designated Syrian Military Intelligence (SMI) in moving weapons and equipment for the Syrian regime, including by utilizing a relationship with another Syria-based airline, FlyDamas (FDK, Damascus).” On top of that, Treasury said, “Cham Wings’s Damascus-Dubai Int’l flight was one of the main routes SMI used to launder money throughout the region, with SMI paying all parties involved to ensure they would continue to do business with the Assad regime.”

Not tin foil at all.

The time line fits perfectly

John Kerry was caught meeting with high level Iranian regime members about two weeks ago.

Shortly thereafter, we intercept calls from Soleimani instructing Irans terror network to attack American installations in multiple locations with the specific goal of taking Jimmy Carter style hostages.

The Iranian embassy hostage crisis is what killed Jimmy Carter’s reelection chances and both the Democrats and Iranians want US out of Iraq and President Trump out of office.

Iran has not taken and held hostages since then.

At the same time, Pompeo is publicly accusing John Kerry of colluding with Iran to unseat President Trump .

When the embassy siege failed, it was important enough for Soleimani and his staff of key players to fly into Iraq and take charge of the operation, so this was an extremely high priority operation for Iran for Soleimani to take personal control and the sensitivity of the subject and the need for secrecy so extreme that Iran could not take the security risk of of having Soleimani’s communications intercepted in what was becoming a very complex unfolding disaster

This embassy attack was absolutely the kick off a major Iranian operation to manufacture a “ grass roots” uprising where Iranian proxies stormed American facilities and bases to take hostages to provoke Carter style hostage crisis, probably ending in the deaths of most of the hostages in an attempt to destroy public support for President Trump by making him look weak and dangerously unsuited for Presidency

The Democrat talking points are entirely consistent with a coordinated message with Iran and it’s beyond dispute that John Kerry is leading a Democrat effort to collude with Iran to remove President Trump

Because the Dems view PDJT more in the line of Reagan.

**************

Simple. Ask some questions you already know the answer to and cooroborate other information through intelligence methods and sources. Nothing that isn’t done everyday in the intelligence world.

Its not about trust. Its about methodical due diligence and skillful interrogation. Its never easy getting to ground truth.

And its not about getting him to give us his entire playbook. Sometimes just a few pieces of information can be critical when its integrated into what you already know. This missing piece of the puzzle so to speak.

But then again maybe we already have good intel on what some of his plans were through other means/sources so perhaps his capture wasn’t really that necessary.
