Al Qods killed and tortured many Iranians - even women and small children.

If there was just one person who really deserved killing, it was that MF.

Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami

Omar threatens to ‘step in and stop’ Trump following Soleimani killing

Rep. Ilhan Omar accused President Trump of trying to create a “distraction” by killing Gen. Qassim Soleimani in an attempt to ignite a war with Iran.

“So what if Trump wants war, knows this leads to war and needs the distraction?” the Minnesota Democrat said Thursday on Twitter. “Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.”

Initial reports say seven people were confirmed killed but the number could rise as the vehicles and bodies were badly charred

Here we'll see your IED and raise you a tomahawk.

[eartick]

Conspiring with Iraqi officials or maybe Obama was in town.

[eartick]

An unknown number of rockets

Yeah rockets. That is what 3rd world, 700 BC countries call them. We call them CRUISING WITH PDJT missiles

[eartick]

and your opinion would be correct.

After these a$$wipes thumbed their noses at us with 6 leaders goaded on by Iran storm our embassy it was time for some payback.

Get ready, the fat lady ain't sang on this one.

Funny how those air attacks just happened on their own. Almost kinda like those bombs had a mind of their own :-)

Iran: You can’t do nuttin’
Trump: If you say so - and maybe Iraq should sit up and take notice too - cleanup on runway 2...

[This is really really going to rile the Ayatollah who Sulimani was especially close to.....not to mention the members of the revolutionary guard who hold Sulimani him in high regard, (like a Godhead)..... This is really serious stuff....I don’t think they’re going to still for this attack on their Godhead...Sulimani controlled everything militarily second only to the Ayatollah. ]

While it might rile Khamenei, it will also show him that Trump has no compunction about targeting top level Iranian leaders, including the No. 2 guy. That target list presumably includes Khamenei himself. Using the F-22, combined with extended range JDAM’s, Khamenei could be killed while he’s having a meal with his family. Since anything he does might affect his personal well-being, that might moderate the kinds of things he does. Basically, Trump is holding Khamenei and his family hostage.

[no-to-illegals]

Turkey did it ...

[Erik Latranyi]

This is how the people need to respond to those who give the orders to confiscate firearms.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Good to hear! Thanks!

[Zhang Fei]

[HOLY COW!

President Trump delivers YUGEEEEEEE on his threat!

This is a major victory. No other way to put it.]

I’d call it a major escalation, to match Iran’s escalation in attacking the Embassy. What transpires after this could be major fireworks (and the oil markets are responding accordingly) or a damp squib. The key development is that Trump is willing to target Iran’s #2. That presumably means he might be willing to target Iran’s #1 guy, Khamenei. That will have Khamenei worrying that he might get hit by a JDAM while dining with his family. And that will affect the kinds of decisions he makes.

[Envisioning]

Now it’s time for some cleanup at home......

[Zhang Fei]

[That’s like Iran getting our CIA director.

Yeah, that’s big.

Hugh.]

I keep hearing he’s perhaps the second most powerful guy in Iran. I’d say that’s like Iran targeting Pence or Pelosi. But I agree it’s a big deal.

[Zhang Fei]

[I am glad Jimmy Carter lived long enough to see what a real president should have done to Iran when the attacked the US embassy. I am glad I lived long enough to see it also.]

---

#MeToo. Between the Panama Canal thing and forcing the Shah to abdicate, Carter was quite possibly the worst president ever. Obama was a close second, but he gave up no real estate, as humiliating as the capture and parading of the riverine patrol was.

what a load of isolationist conservative bull shit
