Fox's Tucker Carlson Criticizes Trump's Killing of Soleimani (Flashback)
Newsmax ^ | 10/9/2023 | Cathy Burke

Posted on 10/09/2023 5:00:55 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Tucker Carlson, one of Fox News' biggest boosters of President Donald Trump, made an impassioned case against the airstrike that killed Iran’s top military leader, blasting Washington for ignoring "the big picture."

During his Friday night show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," the host decried the escalation of tensions with Iran sparked by the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

"No one in Washington is in the mood for big-picture questions right now," he lamented. "Questions like: Is Iran really the greatest threat we face?

Iran killed our marines in Beirut. Terrorists then. Terrorists today.

Of all the decisions President Trump made, I found this one to be among the most baffling.

Not that I ever had any love for this Soleimani dude, but it wasn't like the guy was leading an Iranian military force to invade Iraq or conduct clandestine operations to undermine the government there.

He was traveling to Iraq as an invited guest on a civilian aircraft and landed at Baghdad Airport.

The U.S. might be the only country in the world that sends a military force into a war zone ... and then acts surprised when the native population in that war zone responds by treating that military force like -- well, a military force.

Tucker is in the business of commenting on current news. This isn’t a hurricane. And the deliberate mass murder of hundreds of people is hardly an event. He’s done this in the past with subjects he wishes to avoid. He was pretty darned silent on the stealing of the election for starters. Maybe that’s because he was hamstringed by Fox. He has no excuse not to speak his mind on any subject now he is a free agent.

President Reagan wasn’t virtue signaling when he condemned the Iranian bombing of our USMC barracks in Beirut in 1983.

Actually, he was kind of doing exactly that.

Reagan responded to that bombing by removing our troops from that dump. They never should have been there in the first place. U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger had been adamantly opposed to the deployment from the start.

I know all about it. What the hell were the U.S. Marines doing in an Islamic sh!t-hole in the first place?

Trump was right to order the bastard killed.

Are you speaking for the Republican establishment and/or Deep State by posting this? Are both going to use the attack in Israel as an off-ramp out of the horrifically failed proxy war in Ukraine? Are both finally on board in pushing for a regime change in Iran that might actually improve the lives of the people there?

I'd recommend all of the above.

He's FR's king of one-syllable words like "doink" and "stronk".

Too bad his Ukraine Project ship has sailed. There will be agony here on quite a few accounts.

Dealing with the Musloid rape-orcs is the perfect off-ramp for the Ukraine disaster.

Elensky and Zelenska had best be re-checking their Brit citizenship papers, and having a plane to London on stand-by - with lots of room for bales of US dollars.

It's a very good sign that all the operatives here that have been posting pro-Ukraine war propaganda have suddenly disappeared after the terrorist act in Israel. It was as if they call go the memo at the same time that the plug was being pulled on putting out Ukrainian propaganda.

I won't go so far as agreeing with one of the possibilities Alex Christoforou offered yesterday -- that Israeli and US intelligence knew about the attacks and let them happen (he did not endorse that theory) as a means of derailing BRICS and as an off-ramp out of the Ukraine war. I can't believe Israeli intelligence would allow that. But, it is opportunity for something good to come out of something so horrific.

I've seen a couple of observations about some of the Israelis that were either kidnapped or killed (or both).

The majority of the music festival attendees were peaceniks.

One person who was kidnapped into Gaza at a kibbutz was apparently "one of Israel’s premier left wing peacenik freaks" who lived at an extreme Left wing kibbutz where many people were killed.

They found out about the Religion of Pieces.

Fine. It's his show and his time.

He gets to make his own decisions -- or maybe you would change that. You get to choose if you watch him. Right?

Virtue signaling over this catastrophe will not change a single fact of what happened -- and likely what will happen in the future.

If it's virtue signaling, you want then listen to Biden or Schumer or any of the other suckups around the globe.

Why would he NEED to do what you write? He doesn’t HAVE TO support the Jewish state. I see Islam as a greater threat than the Jews by far, but they can deal with it. They have Elohim, Yehovah on their side. They should hit their knees and ask for guidance. God could handle this for them, command or guide them. They are too rock headed, and always have been for their own good. These are the people who saw miracles with their own eyes, and turned to worshipping a Golden Bull because Moses was late coming back. IT EES NOT MY JOB to kiss their ass. Get back to me when they help the US in some military way.

Tucker has gone missing. Just like he did in November and December 2020 while the election was being stolen from President Trump.

I’m not understanding your concern. Tucker’s not an elected leader. He’s a commentator. He’s entitled to his own opinion and whether, or when, to express that opinion publicly or not. Of course, you’re free to criticize whomever and whatever you choose, but it escapes me why it would be important enough to share this particular concern about him in a public forum. I find some of Tucker’s stuff interesting, but I for one don’t look to him to inform my opinions and have my own questions about his associations.
