This is the first I've seen on how we knew Soleimani was coming to Baghdad Thursday night.

First I've heard of them.

I’m going into tin-foil hat mode. The article mentions the attackers were meant to take hostages. John Kerry is talking to the Iranians. It’s now an election year. Are the Rats trying to have a replay of 1980? With Donald Trump as Jimmy Carter(who can’t free the hostages), and whichever Rat candidate as the equivalent of Ronald Reagan?

Another major coincidence was Putin’s acknowledgement about US Help with a Terrorism matter last week.

From the beginning, I’ve referred to the incident at the embassy as a “Failed Attack”. They were not protesters at all, but militia. Had the embassy not been so well defended, it would have been a disaster. Instead, they got lots of press coverage and pretty photos of them damaging and rioting outside the actual embassy, quickly followed by the death of their leader.

FAILED ATTACK

”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.”

If the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs or Staff or the Director of the CIA was on the ground in a place where the U.S. has no right to be conducting any military operations (in Syria, for example), then wouldn’t they be legitimate targets?

And there’s your connection, leftists. There’s the proof. Legitimate response on our part. Now you know.

TEL AVIV: 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, as well as other Israeli and American targets, with the aim of taking hostages, Israeli sources say.

...

Did they capture the phone call of John Kerry giving him the green light?

“The assessments in Israel are that Iran will not retaliate immediately, but will weigh its course, and may well continue the current strategy, awaiting the results of the US election in November...”

I agree with the first-part. Being that Iran’s conventional military capability is limited as far as force-projection goes, I expect that they’ll select from a list of terrorist strikes that have already been planned. Probably planned by the late-General himself. I think they’ll do ‘something’ long before the election, however.

There is a phrase that we sometimes use around here from time to time. It seems appropriate now, maybe something I fantasize Soleimani saying in his last moments on earth...

In before the Zot!

Too bad Kerry missed the flight.

Sources here say that Soleimi flew in the Airbus A-320 plane operated by Cham Wing, Flight 6Q501, which took off from Damascus at 10:30 pm and landed in Baghdad minutes before midnight.

Minutes later, what are presumed to have been Hellfire missiles fired from a Predator struck and killed everyone in two cars that had picked up Suleimani and other passengers from the flight.

Again what was Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani and his fellow top terrorists doing in Baghdad after our Embassy was attacked?

Was John Kerry there? If so what was he doing there?

lots more pearl-clutching and hand-wringing by chamberlainesque nattering nabobs of negativism,who no doubt preferred obama’s strategy of flying planes loaded with pallets of hundred dollar bills so the Iranian terrorist regime could finance their worldwide terrorist actions and nuclear bomb manufacturing facilities ...

I’m intrigued that this call intercept is being made public at all. Perhaps a signal to whomever might have been on the other end of the line.
Quoth the Verizon guy, “Can you hear me now?”

If the Israelis got the intercept then I have to ask if we have become dependent on the Israelis for our intelligence. Apparently the CIA is too busy investigating the opposition party’s presidential campaign to do its job.

Check out this story.

Israelis reporting how we intercepted Soleimani’s phone calls. He was attempting to take hostages at our Embassy in Baghdad. Shades of 1979 spoilt with his death!

Also, Big Mike Pompeo on EVERY show tomorrow, as well as General Petraeus on FTN, who had some good things to say about killing Soleimani.

How many American Democrats were on the call with Qassem?
