A well directed hellfire beats a pallet of cash anytime in keeping people off the lawn at the local embassy. The first clue of this is when Reagan bombed Gaddafi’s tent after the Pan Am bombing. Not only did he stop building nukes but he gave them up...and Reagan’s bombs were nowhere near the cost of a pallet of cash
He needed killin’.
Consider it a reality tweet.
We all got it coming, kid.
:)
Truthfully said.
Seems like kneejerk reaction to trust .gov. Take a look around. This terrorist mastermind could only get a few missiles lobbed at our resources and enough men to pull down a few rows of chicken wire? Pompeo and crew have underestimated the amount of support the guy had from the chaldeans to shia/sunni. I suspect we are being led astray once again.
I learned a lot. Thanks, Dave!
” Not only did he stop building nukes but he gave them up...and Reagan’s bombs were nowhere near the cost of a pallet of cash”
And global terrorism also declined, BIG TIME. And, as I understand it, Ghadaffi wasn’t even involved in the Pam Am bombing!
“Soleimani’s sentence was delivered by the red-button of a REAPER operator watching the cross hairs on his FLIR display. That poor pilot didn’t even get to hear the “woosh” of the weapon leaving the rail.”
Not hearing the “woosh” had to have taken something out of the experience. Very anticlimactic.
Wonder what the pillow talk was like that night.
“Honey, how was your day?”
“Joe and I made bets on the ball games, Sally told us her sister is pregnant again, Bob had to leave because his dad went to the ER, Brad keeps pushing me to say something about his fruity butt and I incinerated the #1 terrorist in the world. You know, just another day at the office.”
The ONLY question I have is why did it take so long?
The ball is squarely in Iran’s court at this point. President Trump made it clear that he prefers to negotiate,
Good article.
Remember the above and not why the lying media says.............
Anyone who's studied the sectarian conflict in post-Saddam Iraq knows that assertion is simply not true.
In fact, Iran backed Shia groups like the Badr Organization collaborated with American efforts to establish a Shiite dominated Iraqi government, and fought street battles with other nationalist Shiite militias, notably those of Muqtada al-Sadr.
While not in direct conflict currently, al-Sadr's Mahdi Army to this day doesn't take orders from Iran.
Another thing that gets lost in the history of the US Media narrative of that part of the world is the extent to which the US has utilized “indigineous forces” as proxies for US light infantry. Most of those forces were Sunni or Kurdish. The Shia oppose both of them and probably don’t distinguish between those US-armed troops and ISIS itself.
The Bush-McCain wing of the Republican Party had no trouble arming these troops without much public notice and certainly no debate. On the other hand, the Obama-Kerry-Clinton Democrats are guilty of playing footsie with Iran and the Ayatolla. So the chief US problem is that we have no official policy in that part of the world. We don’t know what we’d like it to look like in 50 years (just to pick a time-frame). So administration after administration jumps back & forth between backing Sunni and Shia extremists. And the American public continues to wonder why the region remains in the thrall of... extremists.
Keep your hands off my embassy. Got it? He did.......
I think the bombing that RR ordered on Lybia was in relation to the nightclub bombing in Germany where American soldiers were killed. I think Ghadaffi was linked to the Pam Am bombing after pieces of the device were identified that brought down the plane. Wasn’t there an exchange made of prisoners - don’t remember everything but have a vague memory of the head honcho being let out of prison because he was dying and we or some other country made a swap?
I remember the controversy after we found out about the bombing of Lybia of our planes not given permission to overfly certain countries on their way to the target. Must have been in a book I read - wish I could remember which one!
I’ve spoken to several liberals about this ... NONE of whom realized that the Iranian general we killed was in Iraq leading the storming of our Iraqi embassy.
They didn’t know the two things were connected. They thought we just murdered an Iranian leader in vengeance and that’s an evil act of war. Most didn’t know that storming an embassy WAS an act of war, either.
"Isn't the killing of old generals by drone preferable to sending waves of young men and women to their deaths on a battlefield? So maybe this doesn't mean war at all. War is when the old generals send young people to die. Under Trump, we just kill those old generals. (laughs) He did it with a flying robot. That's progress."
This is an excellent read and much solid information learned about how the Muzzie military is organized and how they think.
PING.
Now the dirty Muzzies are hot for retaliation, saying ....”we’re gonna get your president in the WH.”
The dummies dont know all air space over DC is a no-fly zone?
So you know they got people inside DC who are itching to retaliate.
Hmmmm.......why does raghead Omar come to mind?
