President Trumps order to take out Qasem Soleimani was morally, constitutionally and strategically correct. It deserves more bipartisan support than the begrudging or negative reactions it has received thus far from my fellow Democrats.
The presidents decision was bold and unconventional. Its understandable that the political class should have questions about it. But it isnt understandable that all the questions are being raised by Democrats and all the praise is coming from Republicans. That divided response suggests the partisanship that has infected and disabled so much of U.S. domestic policy now also determines our elected leaders responses to major foreign-policy events and national-security issues, even the killing of a man responsible for murdering hundreds of Americans and planning to kill thousands more.

Why can't dems admit that we're already in a war.
Iran is fighting it but dems pretend it's nothing.

Because Qasem Soleimani was an ally to 2020 Democrats against America and President Trump.
The 2020 Democrats are saddened, deeply-saddened by his sudden blowing-up.

Why can't 2020 Democrats admit that Soleimani's death makes Americans safer? Because the dems hate Trump more than they love America.

Right on that. TDS blocks all rational thought.

And, it would be fair to say they then gave large sums of money to d’rat politicians in an attempt to stay on their ‘good’ side (if that side could be found).
WTP, seeing our money in action, second and third hand.

Paywall, can’t / won’t read.
Joe should know the answer to this question already, BECAUSE TRUMP DID IT.

It is critical to remember that the Left - according the William S White in CITADEL - believes what it wants to believe and ignores what it chooses to ignore.

Joe Lieberman is one of the very few HONERABLE democrats. Miss him.
To: voicereason
Zell Miller was another great democrat. Are there any good democrats left?
To: BitWielder1
Because the dems are at war with us, and see the Iranians as an ally.

Zell Miller was another great democrat. Are there any good democrats left? Yes, but they reside in cemeteries, so they're only available to vote.

I wonder what Zell Miller would say about Democrats today? He'd echo Reagan's words: "I didn't leave the democrat party... it left me."

Because Trump did it. Had it been Barry, they would be dancing in the streets.
