raqis are celebrating the death of Iran's elite Quds Force chief, General Qassem Soleimani, by "dancing in the street", said US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo while sharing a video of people holding a rally.
In the 22-second video which Pompeo shared on Twitter, people are seen running on a road carrying a several meter-long Iraq national flag. The video is of some unspecified location in Iraq.
This comes hours after the United States confirmed that Soleimani has been killed in a defence strike near Baghdad International Airport.
"Iraqis -- Iraqis -- dancing in the street for freedom; thankful that General Soleimani is no more," Pompeo tweeted.

Besides Soleimani, Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and five others were also killed in the US airstrike at Baghdad's international airport, reported Iraqi officials and state television.
The attack has come days after an Iran-backed militia and other protesters attacked the United States Embassy in Baghdad.
The attack on the embassy came as a retaliation to a US airstrike that killed at least 25 people of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

Great vid, at link.
The last line is rich, talk about breaking patterns during her impeachment trial and not giving the GOP their day to call witnesses.
Thanks! Man I miss Iowa Hawk!
To not punch a bully in thr face because you fear retaliation is sad....cowardly

Remember, Xerox is a trademark and not a process.
Or something like that.
That was a funny bit.
Wow, there was actually a “Stevarino” in that one. Nice catch.
I had only seen the one with Steven Seagal (that I remember).

The Sting-atollah! (great timing, BTW)
HAHAHAHAA buh bye
What is wrong with suggesting there will be retaliation. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have been done. I know I will be careful about traveling to certain places for a few weeks. I have been watching this stuff since my son served in Gulf War 1, and there is always retaliation for something.
When you start a shooting war and the other guy shoots back, your next shot isn't “a retaliation”.
It's you continuing the assault you made which began the engagement.
Retaliation is a term reserved for someone who did not start the engagement.
I am glad I could help you out with your inability to identify who the aggressor is, and who the defender is.
You can bet that the Saudis had a role in this too as they hated Iran. Obviously they hated the USA too as they funded 9-11. But that little tidbit is always overlooked. Instead we dance to the Saudis fiddle as though they are an ally.
I’m away from ZOT central and ping resources.
Im sure he didnt feel a thing.
