Democratic presidential candidates sound off on US attack that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani

Democratic presidential hopefuls condemned the US airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani on Thursday night, with Joe Biden calling the attack “a hugely escalatory move” in the region.

The former vice president, in a statement, conceded that the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force deserved to face justice, but warned, “President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox.”

“He deserved to be brought to justice for his crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents throughout the region. He supported terror and sowed chaos,” Biden said of Soleimani, who was killed in the strike at Baghdad’s international airport on Friday.

I just hope Iran isn’t amassing it’s formidable aircraft carrier groups and heading our way. Their subs and destroyers are fearsome too.

Thank you President Trump for once again exposing the Democrats as the Anti-American party.

There is such a thing as the loyal opposition that can put forth arguments why the President’s response was wrong and then there is the blind hatred of the President that makes them oppose any action he takes.

The Democrats were already beginning to build a case that the attack on our Embassy in Baghdad and the President’s response was no different then Obama (Hillary) response to Benghazi.

Then in less than 13 hours they had to make 180 degree turn condemning the President’s action.

Which is it Dems? Take a hit on our Embassy and not respond or to kill the man that planned it?

Tough choice if you are a Democrat.

lol

looked it up. 9 or so ships, most in a landlocked sea.

I think I’m safe :)

Terrorist attack is a different story but if it happens and it’s tied to Iran, they’re dead.

nothing shows DNC treason MORE than DEFENDING

DNC Congresstraitors must be impeached and removed.

Strange that an attacking the Embassy was not an escalatetory move to Biden. Was he in the loop on that? Let’s see if Hunter got a new job in Iran.

What’s the deal with slappy in the meme? Same guy, right? Khamenei? Was this his reaction to his best general getting a firecracker shoved up his bum?

I’m ok with the President unleashing Operation Almighty Porksword if they want to play.

That’s because not a single one of them is a leader.

Every one of them is a follower.
