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.

Wth?? You cite China as an example of a lovely society?
Sick!!
Is there a better named munition anywhere?
Everyone watch your six. These asshats will orchestrate something here perhaps. Given the virtual open border and our weak infrastructure anything could happen IMO.
Who will take over from Suleimani, and the other senior leaders of the resistance, whose positions were suddenly made available?
Let the infighting begin.
Here boys, you can use these knives...
They are going to have some serious internal turmoil sorting things out. In the past, the final authority on such personnel issues was Suleimani. Now, it will likely be whoever is the strongest.
Let chaos reign in our enemy’s camp.
How do mooselimbs have so many virgins in their afterlife?
- They kill young women and call it an honor killing
- They routinely have sex with girls under the age of 10
By my account, there are not that many virgins left.

Has anyone checked to see if John Kerry is still asleep in his bed?
If you don’t count Iran’s right hand, Imad Mugniyeh, who assumed room temperature - with some assistance- in Damascus.
So is invading our embassy [not the first one by the way] and Soleiman's involvement in planning to bomb a restaurant in Washington DC.
Like stopping a 4 decade long US foreign policy of appeasement was ever going to be easy.
Did he receive a new cell phone or watch as a promotion gift?
Hope so
Just someone doing something.
Freerepublic: These middle-eastern wars are a waste! End them and leave the area completely!
Also Freerepublic: Start a war with Iran? YEAH! Go Trump go!
Trump isn't starting a war, that's a Leftist talking point. He's reacting to a strike against Americans on U.S. soil, our embassy in Iraq.
Trump just making sure there’s no foreign influence in Iraq’s election. =)
Last time the Iranian government tried to take an American embassy with a Democrat president in office, they held 58 Americans hostages over a year until a Republican was elected President and then released them. This time when they ordered their proxies to storm an American embassy with a Republican president the only fatality was the guy who ordered them to storm it.. The lesson learned by the mullahs is to wait until the next election cycle to see if a Dem is elected before they storm an American embassy
Yep. Big Mike loves sissies.
IEDs ... one of my Sunday School kids was killed by one of those. But we know he’s in Heaven and the late general ... is not.
maybe it was a layover on his way home from Damascus?
Is it that simple though?
Do random Muslim terrorists care to act in defense of Iran? I know they’re all terrorists but since Iranians aren’t arabs?
Or is that a dumb question?
