As part of Obama's surrender to Iran Qassem Suleimani has been granted amnesty. Suleimani is the commander of the Iranian elite Quds forces. The full text of Obama's surrender can be seen here. Suleimani appears on page 86.
IED's have taken a horrible toll on the US military:
About 6,572 U.S. troops have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 2,483 of those deaths are IED related, according to the Washington Post. IEDs are the top killer of U.S. troops. Thousands more have been wounded by them.There's lasting damage even if one survives an IED blast.IEDs are a weapon that have torn limbs and lives in equal measure, left a superpower humbled and ensured the nation and its veterans will pay a high price for decades in continuing medical and psychological care.
That's exactly what happened. The roller was destroyed, but the RG-31 survived. For those inside, there was the shock of the explosion, painful ear pressure, air made black with billowing dirt and dust, and a chemical smell that burned the nostrils.These weapons- the really sophisticated ones- come an interesting source- Iran.Skoog, closer to the blast in the driver's seat, was stunned and disoriented. "It's not a physical wound," he recalls. "It's more like something doesn't feel right."
He showed signs of a mild traumatic brain injury from blast exposure, what scientists call the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. With dizziness, headaches and minor concentration problems, Skoog was kept out of combat for two weeks.
Understanding the frequency of these wounds in a war where body and vehicle armor block shrapnel but the IED blast wave can still damage the brain was one of the hardest lessons learned by military medicine from modern wars.
"It was like a slow awakening for everybody," says Chris Macedonia, a doctor and former adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now-retired admiral Michael Mullen. "There were phenomena that were happening, particularly related to IEDs, that just didn't match what the education and teaching were before."
Doctors found that repeated mild brain injuries from blasts — without allowing the brain time to heal — can cause permanent neurological damage, risking later onset of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or the even more debilitating chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
U.S. military officials charged on Sunday that the highest levels of the Iranian leadership ordered Shiite militants in Iraq to be armed with sophisticated armor-piercing roadside bombs that have killed more than 170 American forces. ... The deadly and highly sophisticated weapons the U.S. military said were coming into Iraq from Iran are known as "explosively formed penetrators," or EFPs.And delivering these EFP's to Iraq was the responsibility of a notorious group:
Three senior military officials who explained the evidence said the "machining process" used in the construction of the deadly bombs had been traced back to Iran.The Quds Forces. And who is in charge of the Quds Forces?The experts, who spoke to a large gathering of reporters on condition that they not be further identified, said the supply trail began with Iran's Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, which also is accused of arming the Hezbollah guerrilla army in Lebanon. The officials said the EFP weapon was first tested there.
Qassem Suleimani.
As part of his surrender, Obama lifted travel sanctions on Suleimani and took him off the terrorist list.
The Obama regime has admitted that Obama capitulation will enable Iran to increase funding of terrorism around the world.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who led nuclear negotiations with the United States, recently travelled to Syria and Lebanon to announce Iran’s renewed support for Hezbollah and the embattled regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, according to the brief.Obama would free Iran to wreak havoc:Iran will “continue providing weapons to support the Middle Eastern countries fighting terrorism,” Zarif is quoted as saying by Iran’s state-controlled press.
In light of the nuclear deal, Iran will “preserve its defensive capabilities and send weapons to its regional allies,” according to Zarif, who stressed that “without Iran and the weapons it provided to the countries fighting terrorism, the capital cities of the Middle East would have been occupied by” the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL).

Got Colin Powell’s email? Just read he said it was a good deal. I would be explicit in my anger but I’m training to recognize when being tempted to express my disgust, disdain, and explosive temper so I’ll just go take a couple of aspirin and pray for our military, active and inactive because for them it is a war against their faith, hope, and trust.
Semper Fi, y’all.
The VA should be disbanded and disassembled first along with their unions. Vets should be able to get the best private care at a discount. That way, if a vet really needs help, he will get it, whereas the frauds (a normal percentile probably) will be filtered out. If hospitals have donators then those who wish can donate specifically for veteran care at the private hospitals. Look at how well children’s hospitals do privately.
How about an across the board shuttering of 50%-75% of the needless federal agencies the Constitution doesn't mandate can even exist? What about an immediate increase in Active Duty End Troop Strengths by a minimum of 25% for all branches and more if required. I doubt several running for POTUS even knows what the term means. What about an immediate overhaul of the VA Medical system and contracting better treatment immediately via of a system of choose your own private practice doctor and treatment facility actually near you? What about an immediate 15% pay increase for all troops?
What about a return to a sensible first enlistment contract of no more than 3/3 or 4/2 which worked well for the nation? One exception being programs such as Nuclear Propulsion Program where the military invest nearly two years in training reactor operators and technicians to maintain them. That one should be a an 8 year obligation. Otherwise no young recruit of 18 or 19 needs to be obligated for 8 years that is insane. What about full time regional mandatory examination boards set up of vets and medical experts to process the several year backlog of service related disability claims in a matter of weeks not years?
One more and it was a biggie when I was in. Anyone washing out of Nuke school unless the result of deliberate misconduct or fraud should be relieved of their six year active duty obligation and reverted back to 4/2 years active formula.
Funny six months ago nobody liked him around here. Now he’s walking on water.
People are sheep.
The deal forever links the DNC’s political future to the behavior of a Theocracy.
Every IED that goes off, every attack by Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qeda ; can forever be blamed on the DNC’s helping to rebuild Iran’s economy.
They trust the nation’s security and future of their party to a theocracy that throws gays off of roofs.
The DNC will be fine.
Those who dont know the names of the Black Panther leaders and BLM leaders are ill equipped to talk about them!
LOL
I'm not looking for a perfect choice but I am looking for one who has no fear of the hierarchy in either party and has stood against them On Record even when so called Conservatives here were booing him for a filibuster that shut down the government. Him, being Cruz I trust far more than Trump.
Trump politically in the past and today is all over the place A Dem one time a GOP the next money here support there etc.. Hillary can talk and say what you want to hear as well. Bill Clinton did that very thing and defeated Liberal anti-Reagan GHW Bush as well as Liberal Bob Dole Says.
The media, the networks, all could end Trumps campaign in a matter of a week. I'd say they are waiting for a time to inflict the most damage upon Conservatives and in such making sure an insider RINO or DEM wins the White House yet again.
The Trump worship isn't any different than 2000 in here when Cult Bush showed up and DEMANDED unquestioned loyalty to him or else.
It's still early and this is anyones primary to win. But I believe Conservatives are about to be played big time.
...but you get a blanket and a never ending supply of spam mail.
[...but you get a blanket and a never ending supply of spam mail.]
Oh yeah there IS that but you can bet those cheap blankets were donated by the manufacturer, to WWP and even paid shipping, handling and distribution costs so it doesn’t cost WWP a cent.
First of all I, for one, liked him from the beginning. And I distinctly recall some others who did right from the time he declared his candidacy.
As for people being ‘sheep’, Donald Trump *the politician* was an unknown, and all anybody heard or read was negative about him, his intentions, and he cannot be trusted. It was constant bombardment on him. A lot of pejoratives used in conjunction with his name.
How about that ‘debate’? Megyn Kelly sure did an objective job of ‘journalism’, eh? The whole fox team was more interested in taking Trump down early in the game than giving their viewers relevant information on the candidates.
So naturally the ones who weren’t too sure held their support back with a wait and see attitude. Over time more and more came to the realization that Trump would make a pretty good President, his intentions are honorable, and nobody owns him. Hence the steady rise in the polls.
The vast majority of people who frequent FR are anything but sheep. They are largely independent thinkers who form opinions based on facts and evidence, and not what the media or someone else in the Internet says.
Old men threaten each other, and young men die.
Makes way more sense if it was the other way around...
(and trust me, I am old. gettin older...)
Trump did not grant him amnesty; in fact, he is taking heat for being opposed to amnesty. Do you really believe that Trump would grant ANY of these murderers amnesty, whatever their freaking names are?
