The Dem Presidential Candidates' Reactions to Soleimani Death Are As Bad As You'd Imagine

Searched with no feedback including key words.

Among the Democratic presidential candidates who have weighed in on the U.S.airstrike that killed Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani and Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, not a single one offered any praise for the move to take out the world's "arch terrorist" -- a man who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and according to Defense Secretary Mark Esper, was "actively developing plans" to attack even more Americans in the region.

Instead, the general consensus was to blame President Trump rather than Iran for the danger that exists, calling the operation “reckless” and tantamount to tossing “a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox,”—per Joe Biden, who's been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades” and was a "no" on taking out Osama bin Laden. Others like Sen. Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar worried it would escalate conflict with Iran and push the U.S. closer to another war, while Sen. Cory Booker lamented that the president “has no strategic plan” to deal with Iran.

Don’t care to read, just happy no more Kamala. I found her to be the most irritating.

There have been a number of strong reactions to this event by liberals and Hollywood idiots. They have really jumped all.over Trump on this one. I wonder why.

Anything Trump does good that they would otherwise defend and praise a democrat president for doing, must be smeared and defamed.

And their accomplices in the libtard socialist propaganda wing always back them up.

Unlike that brilliant drop-the-money-on-the-tarmac strategy.

Whatever happens we will deal with it- That’s what you do when you protect your own country- You do NOT bow to foreign leaders, you do NOT go around the world apologizing for this country- you do NOT ignorantly ‘lead from behind’

The era of being pansies is over! The era of giving our enemies billions of dollars hoping they will attack us last is over- It’s time for big dogs to take care of business- and anyone that can’t accept that has no business even running for president! But of course that won’t stop the cowards from running and bad mouthing anyone that actually stands up to terrorists!

Leftists don’t realize it, but their gun control demands rest on the idea that violent intent will remain relatively low, as it is today. This is a false assumption based on two establishments:

1. that good people used fire power, not tax money, to achieve the law and order we enjoy today.

2. that tax-funded law enforcement will be sufficient to maintain law and order.

Assumption 2 and a ten dollar bill wouldn’t buy you a cup of coffee.

Law and order in the international world is far less assured. It’s playground rules. There are no rules, and there is no international police force. You had better hope that the biggest strongest motherfooker has good intentions. The late 1930s taught us exactly what happens when that’s not true. Our best hope is to be the biggest badass, but be willing to back down when the other guy does.

“Sen. Cory Booker lamented that the president “has no strategic plan” to deal with Iran.”

and here i thought that assassinating Iran’s numero uno terrorist mastermind while he was on Iraqi territory was pretty strategic, particularly coming only a few hours after the Ayatollah Khomeini tweeted: “You can’t do anything”

but, hey, silly me, what do i know compared to a foreign policy giant like Cory Booker ...

There’s not a single one of them that wouldn’t get us into a big war... Not one.
