President Trump will get a huge approval bump in the the polls
Iran has been asking for an ass kicking for a long time ,most reasonable Americans will easily support this
President Trump should start a rumor that John Kerry set the general up...
And John Brennan helped...
“I could not have been us. The Ayatolla said there was nothing we could do.”
Yes, most likely a bad ground on a suicide vest or something.
“This is all happening because of Obama’s policy of appeasement to Iran.
we have been in a proxy war with Iran in Iraq since about the time of Fallujah”
You are exactly right. This can be laid right at the feet of Obama and his allies in Iran.
Excellent!!
POSObama is doubling up on the prayer rug tonight.
LOL!
This is a big deal. The General was responsible for many American deaths in the Iraq war. Let’s see if the Iranians go ape.
I think this is as big or even bigger than Bin Ladin.
Well that changes everything!
He committed Arkancide!
Still seeing reports coming in as the bodies are being identified.
.............
Just confirmed that Mohammed Reda, the PMF militia Baghdad airport protocol officer is dead.
.............
He had met the Iranian entourage at the airport and was in one of the two cars we hit.
................
We now control all of the Iraqi airspace.
Where have you been? He’s been one of the top Iranian bad guys for over a decade......in the news often........
This is huge.
And trust me, Iran WILL respond, and this whole thing could really get big..........
And this time our response to the Iranian attack on our embassy was totally and perfectly justified. What comes next is up to Iran.....but they are suicidal if they continue to escalate things.....which I believe they will.......
China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are in the business of creating society. The United States and Isreal are in the business of destroying it.
Bunch of neocons on this site
You would figure the local dialect would have a word for ‘hellfire’, given the geografical location and all.......
I just saw Sara Carter on Fox News. She was beaming with joy. This won’t bring back the sight of her husband, but we have struck back for him and everyone else who lost their lives and suffered horrible wounds from the actions of this monster.
