He was behind Benghazi. So once he tried to pull the same stunt again and someone died Trump could take him out

Apparently, he threatened Trump and said he has people in places that you can’t imagine.

For one, perhaps Omar.

I get the feeling that the full story of this won’t be written until 2025, when the Iranian people celebrate their 3rd or 4th year as a free people. Just a guess. I trust Trump.

"Iraqis are happy, the democrats here are furious- is there anyone left that Still thinks democrats love and are pulling for the iraqi citizens?"

Democrats have quit being un-American and are now full-throttle anti-American.

Democrats are as big a threat to our country as some of our foreign enemies.

His main weapon is surprise. And his fanatical dedication to MAGA. His two main weapons . . .

To be quite fair, my Cat would be a better president than gore or kerry. He can be a right barstid at times.

I have seen it. It means nothing.

You can bet that dude had more than one body double and more than one ring. He knew he was a high level target.

I am going to assume that there was real time info from some spy telling us this was the guy.

HOWEVER, you cannot discount duplicity and body doubles.

I will assume high level intelligence told us this was the guy..but I also know they better leave a possiblity it wasn’t him.

As the reporter noted, that ring is not identical to the one he is wearing in the live photo. So that severed arm could be that of another official in the entourage.

Iran’s leadership must be worried that we were able to know where and when we could find their guy, and our intentions did not leak

I should have been more clear -

no complaints against the Iranians but complaints against the US for conducting ops in their country??

That tells me a lot about the state of the Iraqi government.

Yep - they say Trump can’t do anything and Trump responds, “Cleanup on runway two”.

Now they say he will pay for it - I supposed his next response will be, “Check please”.
