Go listen to some of Mattis’s speeches. The main source of support for radical, political Islam is Iran. The war on terror is not likely to be over till Iran is over. At least that is the way I read what Mattis has said.
He has also noted that more muslims have been killed by these evil people than non muslims. He has fought side by side with muslim allies, and he doesn’t believe in deserting them. He specifically has mentioned Jordan, and criticized Obama for not recognizing when they condemned the radicals and showed support.
Way back years ago, Iran accused USA of shooting down a civilian airplane. They declared a Fatwa and decreed that 10 planes must be crashed to even the score.
The first was Pan Am over Lockerbie Scotland. TWA 800 also counts I think, because Lil George Stephenapolas was talking about terrorist attacks, and included it in the list he was talking about.
There were four planes accomplished for the 9/11 attacks. They won’t quit until the fatwa is over. Not saying I agree, but just adding info to the conversation. I’m truly hoping that Mattis will have some other way to get the job done too-get out of the Middle East.
>>”There were four planes accomplished for the 9/11 attacks. They won’t quit until the fatwa is over.”<<
Are you suggesting Iranians were responsible for 9/11 attacks? If so, give specific sources and names for saying so, beyond ‘adding to conversation’. It’s been 15 years since. All evidence so far clearly points to Saudis and their satellites.
>>”Way back years ago, Iran accused USA of shooting down a civilian airplane.”<<
Which civilian plane? Iran Air Flight 655? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 — if yes, the US did shoot it down in Iranian airspace! Even paid compensation for it afterwards.
>>”He (J. Mattis ??) has also noted that more muslims have been killed by these evil people than non muslims.”<<
Are you concerned about Muslims or even generally Iranians? Somehow I don’t think so.
If you’re genuinely concerned about muslims, then, you should consider millions of muslims killed in the ME due to Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, and not by Iranians!
To be fair, maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment - tho it doesn’t make much sense to me. Also, See #31.
