BAGHDAD — Qasem Soleimani, Iranian Major general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and his Deputy General, have been killed in an airstrike at the Baghdad International airport, Iraqi media says. An engineer was also among those killed.
An unknown number of rockets struck at least two vehicles belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces that were transporting the high ranking officials.
Initial reports say seven people were confirmed killed but the number could rise as the vehicles and bodies were badly charred.

Wanna bet ?
ROTFL!
my guess is an AH-64 apache helicopter or a MQ-9 Reaper drone.
ROTFL! :-D
“Well I saw the human remains on twitter. They were uhh...dead and then some.”
All good but I hope they got video from the missile going in.
Hellfire.
“Hellfire.”
Aye.
It was.
Surgical military strikes suck and counter intuitively seem to lead to longer conflicts with more dead people. Bomb the population and the leadership this we aren’t at war with the people of Iran only the imans whatever bomb their well attended sports events and such randomly as we aren’t interested in regime change just making their county a bigger shithole than it already is
Maybe Muqtada al-Sadr will finally get it. Leaving him alive was one of Bush’s biggest mistakes .
What was the attack on our people then, just a protest? Trump should tell them that was just the US protesting the Trump way. They don't want to see a Trump act of war.
That a bummer--NOT!
Roasting like a smoked turkey.
Obozo would’ve had him on speed-dial to ask him periodically if he needed money.
271 “What will the happen next?”
All kinda sh!t.
This is the beginning, not the end.
Glad POTUS #45 DJT did this.
Russia playing both sides of the Muslim divide.
ChiComs need the Iranian oil.
Is Iran truly desperate enough to escalate? I think so, but it may be disguised. They will want to weaken DJT's 2020 prospects.
Been expecting something for years to trigger the Muslim jihad cells embedded in the U.S.
Absolutely agree. But how do you kill him without turning iraq into an inferno?
DJT HAS BALLS OF USA STEEL, AND SO GLAD HE DIDN'T TWITTER OTHER THAN THE ‘AMERICAN FLAG’...
he is scaring the liberal democrats silly...and shitless...
Hear! Hear!!
Hey!! don’t paint caricatures in such a bad light.
Interesting how differently bobo (o’bummer) and Trump treat Iranian terrorists. bobo invites them to dinner and feeds them; trump feeds them lead and then the dogs feed on them.
According to @ronenbergman, when Israel sought to assassinate Hezbollah chief Imad Mughniyeh w/U.S. assistance, they had an opportunity the morning of Feb. 12, 2008. They decided not to, though, because their bomb would have killed another man: Qassem Suleimani

Sources are telling me that multiple countries, including #Bahrain and #SaudiArabia have started to take adequate defensive posture in preparation of whatever outcome happens.

We are now navigating in uncharted territory. Was #Iran even expecting such a move? How much time will they take to come with a response? What will they target? It is speculation time my friends.
