Democrats call US killing of Iranian general 'reckless'
AP ^ | Jan 3, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that President Donald Trump has “tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox" with the targeted killing of Iran's top general in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport.

The former vice president joined other Democratic White House hopefuls in criticizing Trump's order, saying it could leave the U.S. “on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East."

The Pentagon said the U.S. military killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, in Baghdad Friday at the direction of Trump. The attack is expected to draw severe Iranian retaliation against Israel and American interests. The Defense Department said Soleimani “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region."

Some ditzy left wing actress has already “apologized” to Iran for the acts of our “terrorist regime.” These people are nuts.

If the Dem don't like it, it must be the right thing to do.

But we knew that already...

Obviously, the Democrat Party is compromised by foreign interests and hates the American people it is supposed to represent.

let’s get this straight: Obama tried and failed to kill this bastard, whereas Trump got it done. In criticizing Trump, are Democrats saying Obama’s was a good president because he was incompetent?

Obama: If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.

Trump[: Whether or not you like your terrorist, you don’t get to keep your terrorist.

They keep missing the single most important fact.
What was that asshole doing in Iraq?
He could been anywhere else in the world (except maybe Syria) and been safe. But he was Iraq. Why?

Maybe the democRATs want to trade places with him? I could support that quite easily.

Hey Quid Pro, complimenting President Trump’s strategy is not going to win over votes from any of his supporters!

Hay Joe, get John (kerry) on the phone. We (the desperate left) need Iran to start a war now, so we can blame Trump.

“Oh. They’re not that stupid? They actually want to avoid being weakened militarily by air strikes so that they can hold on to their power over their restless peoples? Tell them to make a horse riding video.”

President Trump could cure cancer and demoncrats would say it’s “reckless.”

Wasn’t Slo Joe Biden supposed to cure cancer a few years ago?

I guess having him in the White House was a sound and wise policy?
