"The officials said there was worry among the president’s senior advisers that Trump has indicated so many times that he did not want a war with Iran that Tehran had become convinced the United States would not act forcibly."

This is key. Iran thought Trump wouldn't act - "can't do damn thing".

According the the Obama Department of Defense, Qasem Soleimani was a terrorist directly responsible for the murder of over 500 US service men & women. Why are congressional Dems outraged that he’s finally dead? See more: https://t.co/7MrD4tyM5y https://t.co/cKYSPLSLmj

Well, I guess they'll have to re-think that particular line of reasoning.

According to the NY Post - Obama kept the Israelis from taking out Soleimani in 2015.

Enough said.

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

George W Bush was a terrible President. His sales pitch was that he was better than Gore or Kerry. Spit.

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....

Their whines are as phoney as the liberals

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.

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
