Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is promising retaliation against the U.S. for launching a missile strike in Baghdad that killed his top general, Qassim Suleimani.
The New York Times called Suleimani "a powerful strategist who represented Iran's influence across the region."

Tell me why Obama cut 'deal' with Iranian terror leader is not giving our avowed enemy, Iran, aid and comfort, and why Obama should not be hauled in for criminal treason.
Oh, but killing Bin Laden, who was no longer the threat he once was, isn’t “murder”?
You gotta be chitting me.
B.O. and all his cronies should be arrested for treason and executed. If found guilty. I just added the last part for fun.
For 8 years this treasonous scumbag and his scumbag administration have gotten our men and women killed and so conveniently sucked up to our enemy. They need to be on front of a firing squad
Obama also in 2015, when hearing that Israel was closely tracking this #1 a hoe to eliminate him. Barry informed Iran authorities of the plan, and security measures were changed.
Is that treason, being he was on the terror list?
Obama’s MO was aid and comfort to enemies of the U.S. and that guy should be hauled in for criminal treason.
You know the drill with liberals. They will never admit being wrong, and there is no degree of hypocrisy that will stop them from pointing a finger at you. It's the classic ‘heads I win, tails you lose’ scenario.
