Not confirmed yet, but it is reported Shibl al-Zaydi, secretary general of #IRGC backed Kata’ib al-Imam Ali (#PMU’s 40th Brigade) is among whom are targeted by the #USAF in this airstrike at #Taji, North of #Baghdad tonight!
And I'm sure little Chuckey Shcooooomer was told about this one....5 minutes after it happened!!! Brings wicked glee to me!
Caption The Picture: Quani sez “No, really, I-ah-tod-ja, I don’t feel I deserve the honor. Maybe next year?”
Is it goat season already???
White hair and a dapper beard!
Sounds like writer Steve Guest had a crush on him!

Kinda like BagDaddy, the austere religious scholar....
US Drones Take Out Shibl al Saydi Leader of Iranian Backed Shiite Militia Group North of Baghdad in Taji, Iraq
LATEST OSWELDA AKA WICTOR POST—DISCUSSION OF WEAPONS
BEGINNING AT THE LAST FEW PARAGRAPHS:
The advantage of these weapons is that they form a cloud of vapor that completely fills a specific zone.
When the detonation occurs, there’s no escape.
We already have airburst munitions, but they rely 100 percent on fragmentation.
Directed-blast munitions are “precision obliteration.”
They’re weapons for urban combat in that they create zero collateral damage.
It appears that a large munition was used in the Suleimani strike, and then they fired cannons into the wreckage to make for pretty pictures.
Today, America is FAR MORE RESPECTED in the Middle East than we were 48 hours ago.
@realDonaldTrump was already respected, but now he’s seen as the president who will end DECADES of Iranian-orchestrated carnage.
So of course the Democrats take the side of the mullahs.
Did you know that Qassem Suleimani was banned from traveling to ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY?
Iran Quds chief visited Russia despite U.N. travel ban: Iran official

Reuters has it now. Here’s one of the first reports.
BREAKING: “Unconfirmed report that Qais Khazali, one of the people the US named as responsible for storming of US Embassy in Baghdad, has been killed in new Baghdad airstrike” - @lookner
Quds leaders must be freaking out.
I am IN but it is sealed by the Courts.
Like this?

MORE OSWELDA AKA WICTOR
For @IlhanMN and @TulsiGabbard
Just to add to your outrage, we hit your friends with a gunship, not a drone.
Shot after shot after shot.
You should see the aftermath.
HOLES EVERYWHERE.
Obviously the order was to keep shooting until everything on the ground was in pieces.
The strike was carried out in such a way that the photos would be spectacular.
mentions This looks like a 105mm howitzer round.
videos.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/20
mentions LOOK AT THE DAMAGE!
Hellfire missiles don’t make holes like that
his is DEFINITELY from cannons.
—ever the showman—made sure that these images would flood the Middle East.
The Arab press is showing photos of the bodies, which I won’t post here, but BOY HOWDY!
Tulsi, you hate the Saudis and say they aren’t our allies.
Well guess what?
They gave us the munitions used. They were fuel-air explosive fragmentation weapons.
Unlike YOU, Tulsi, I’ve been studying the wars in Iraq, Syris, and Yemen.
I’ve identified multiple new munitions that only the Saudis and their allies could have funded.
Here’s the fuel-air explosive fragmentation munition.
The fragment cut through concrete.
Our ALLIES the Saudis created weapons that use massive blast effect and massive fragmentation.
The body of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is recognizable.
Barely...SNIP...

PREVOUS POST:
5 hours ago
It’s rich to see @SpeakerPelosi suddenly rediscovering the Constitution after eight years of the most lawless, unconstitutional president in American history.
I advise the Democrats to hold more hearings. “Why did @realDonaldTrump kill that wonderful man?”
The Democrats have said that they started impeachment proceedings the day Trump announced his run for the presidency.
The Democratic-run intelligence community carried out massively illegal spying on Trump.
The Democratic impeachment of Trump began with a predetermined outcome and did not follow any House rules or procedures.
And now Pelosi is refusing to to give the articles of impeachment to the Senate. The House is as lawless as Obama.
LOL
New U.S. Airstrikes North of Baghdad Three Vehicle Convoy of Iran-backed Shia Militia Leaders
FTA:
The strike is reported to have killed Qais Khazali, one of the people the US named as responsible for storming of US Embassy in Baghdad. Also Shibl al-Zaydi is now confirmed to have been killed. Shibl was the leader of Kataib al-Imam Ali or the Imam Ali Battalions.
Shibi al-Zaydi, who Iraqi sources were reporting had been killed in tonight’s airstrike, has tweeted that he is not dead.

Facial recognition software is a bitch when one gets tagged by a self-targeting aerial drone.
Maybe techno-weenies didn’t think that one through when writing that algorithm for AI.
The only way to win is not to play the game!
That’s funny! The caption is:
“Hold on, I did NOT volunteer!”
