This occoured me a few hours ago.

Trump isnt looking for war. He is marking a “line of allowance”, up to which Iran can do their little act all the live-long day, but that little show at the embassy is across the “no-no line”. And we will smack you if you touch it.

Iran will cry, but they will get word from Russia and China to stay in their lane and mind the line.

DemocRat politicians are enraged NOT because Soleimani was incinerated, they are enraged because Trump ordered it.

Ditto with Al Baghdadi assassination.

But killing Osama by Obama in Pakistan (a sovereign nation) was celebrated by the Rats as heroic.

That is what I dislike the most about democRats..HYPOCRISY!

Iran must be wondering what to do?

Attack America again and we’ll see our 3 oil refineries go up in flames. And that will be the end of us because of the internal revolution that will result in.

Decisions decisions...

Hummmm....

American intelligence was probably tipped off by some one in the know in Iran about Soleimani traveling to Iraq and which airport he was headed to.

With the chief terror instigator dead, Iran is hoping crippling sanctions on Iran could taper down.

Iraq is complaining about their sovereignty. But no complaints that foreign military leaders are conducting operations inside their country????

Their whines are as phoney as the liberals

Okay then...fingerprints. There better be some kind of analysis. A ring is not enough.

He knows he was a target. There is no doubt he would use body doubles.

I am going to assume we got the right guy BUT CIA better be open to the fact that they might not have got him...and watch for signs in the future.

But the Americans held their fire, and Soleimani slipped away into the darkness

Owe this to Obama and his ROEs.

Also, with a drone lighting you up, it is kinda hard to just slip into the darkness.

This raghead was just another brother of Obama

I still can’t believe it. President Trump literally killed #QassemSoleimani, an Iranian man more powerful than the President of Iran. His head is publicly kissed by the Supreme Leader of Iran. He controls Hezbollah, Yemeni Houthis, Hamas, Quds, IRGC. The Ayatollahs will want war.
